People also ask
- Is 'fs' rude or too informal?
- 'fs' is informal, but generally not considered rude among peers. It's common in casual text conversations, but avoid it in professional settings.
- Does 'fs' mean they're not interested?
- Not necessarily. 'fs' is neutral; it just means 'for sure.' Their interest level depends on the context of the conversation and their overall tone, not just those two letters.
- Should I use 'fs' back?
- Sure, if you want. Mirroring their casual energy is fine. Or, use a full 'for sure' if you prefer; it's all good.
