1. She’s sending you a flirty vibe. A standard winking face with one closed eye and a smile tends to be flirtier than the funny winking face with its tongue out (😜). A winking face that has a stuck-out tongue could signal she’s just being silly. Respond by keeping the conversation light and playful.^[1]

   • Send a meme or continue teasing her or joking with her.
   • For a flirty response, reply with a text that says, “😉 Stop distracting me! I’m busy.”^[2]
   • You could also send something like, “😎” to play it cool or “😏” to be a little sassy.

1. A blushing emoji means she likes you enough to want to get to know you more. If you sent her a flirty text and she sends a 😊 back, that’s a great sign she’s into you. Interpret this wholesome emoji as a message that she likes the conversation or something you’ve said. Whatever you’re talking about is making her feel warm and fuzzy inside!^[3]

   • Send back an equally cute hug emoji (🤗) or a text like “I can’t stop thinking about you!”^[4]
   • To step up your flirting game try saying, “Oo I made you blush!”
   • For a friendly vibe, reply with something like, “Aw you’re sweet.”
   • If she sends you a 🥰 emoji, treat it as the more intense version of the blushing face and a clear sign she likes you.

1. The hug emoji shows care, but she might not be trying to be flirty. Remember, when it comes to emojis, context is everything! Ask yourself whether the girl is trying to show support or affection or whether she’s flirting.^[5]

   • Send back a text like, “I wish I could hug you IRL!”
   • If you’re not sure what to reply, mirror whatever emojis she sends. In this case, you’d send back a hug.

1. You’ve done a great job showing off your sense of humor. When you get a laughing emoji from a girl, it means that she’s amused and having a good time chatting with you. However, the laughing emoji is one of the most commonly used emojis, and it doesn’t have a specific flirty association.^[6]

   • Try sending a text back like, “I’m glad someone appreciates my sense of humor 😅.”

1. You probably sent her something that made her smile. This one can be tricky, though! Heart eyes show that she’s into the conversation and wants to express affection or enthusiasm (either for you or for a specific text). Since some people commonly use this emoji to mean “I love that,” you shouldn’t assume she has a crush on you. However, you should totally keep the conversation going, because heart eyes are a good sign she likes talking to you.^[15]

   • Send her an emoji back like 😊 or 🤗.

1. These are the flirtiest out of the emoji hearts. She’s more likely to use these in the early stages of flirting to show that she really likes you. She might also send two static hearts, which are less popular for romantic texts and commonly used in friendships.^[16]

   • When in doubt, just mirror her emoji usage and send two revolving hearts (💞) back.^[17]
   • Orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple hearts signify a less-committed display of affection. Your crush might feel like a red heart or pink heart is too romantic for right now. Don’t worry, keep talking to her and you might get a two revolving hearts emoji!^[18]

1. Interpret this one within the context of your conversation. If she sends it to you randomly or while you’re flirting, she’s likely showing affection, since a red heart is the classic symbol of romance. However, if you’re talking about school, work, or favorite movies, she could just be using the red heart to mean “I love that.”^[19]

   • If you think she’s being flirty, try sending back a sweet text like, “I miss you.”
   • If you think she’s just being friendly, send back a neutral emoji like 🙂.

On the flip side, anyone can use this emoji just to say something’s beautiful or amazing, so be careful not to assume how your crush identifies based on which emojis they use.^[21]

   • If you’re not sure whether she’s being flirty or friendly, send back a 🤗 emoji since it’s positive but still not obviously flirtatious.
