I've been chatting online to a lady who is 47yrs old (I'm 30yr old male) and we get on really well.

We haven't met up yet but have been chatting for around three months now.

Just recently over a message she said that she is 'extremely fond of me' and in just about every message she sends she uses a mix of different emoji's such as winky face and smiling face.

I don't know what to make of this, would you think it means that she likes me as a friend or more than a friend?

I didn't challenge her on what she meant but we chat every day.

Thanks for any responses.
