Girly girls or popular girls usually use this to grab attention or be "sexy" (:

Girly girl: Wazz up my loveee ?(:

Mature Person: Nothing. bored. :)

The backwords smiley face alone in a text is most commonly used when there is nothing else to say, or lack of interest.

John = dead pool is what?

Jill = a badass xD

Jonh = oh i just like his health bar hyper combo

Jill = (:

(: Can be used as a a simple smiley face. (: can also be used to avoid smiley faces being corrected to an emoji on certain applications.

(: can also make people uncomfortable or feel uneasy because (: interrupts the text whilst :) does not.

(: Is not to be mistaken for a frowning face though:

(: = :)

:) = (:

Person 1: LOL! (: Yeah I''m happy.
Person 2: Wow! You turned the face around so that it doesn't correct to a smiley face! How edgy. It also kinda makes me uncomfortable though because it interrupts the text
