Ever wonder what she's trying to imply when she sends an emoji? If you're unsure whether she's flirting, check out the guide below to decode those mysterious symbols and figure out how to respond appropriately. This article covers a range of emojis, from flirtatious to friendly, to help you understand what she's really saying!
Steps
The Winking Emoji 😉

She's flirting. A winking and smiling emoji usually conveys more of a flirtatious tone than a mischievous wink with a tongue-out (😜). The wink and tongue-out symbol indicates she's just being playful. Respond by keeping the conversation light and fun.
- Send a meme or continue teasing her playfully.
- For a flirty response, you can text, “😉 Don’t distract me now! I’m busy here.”
- You can also send the “😎” emoji to seem “cool” or the “😏” emoji to appear a bit cheeky.
Smiling and blushing emoji 😊

The blushing emoji indicates that she feels affection for you and wants to know more about you. If she responds to your flirtatious message with the 😊 emoji, it’s a good sign she likes you. The meaning of the emoji is that she enjoys the conversation or what you just said. What you’ve said makes her feel warm and touched!
- Respond with a cute hug emoji (🤗) or a message like 'I can't stop thinking about you!'
- For flirting, you can say 'Oh, you're blushing!'
- To keep things friendly, you could reply with 'You’re so adorable.'
- If she sends the 🥰 emoji, consider it a stronger sign of affection than the blushing emoji, signaling she likes you more.
Hugging emoji 🤗

The hugging emoji shows concern, but she may not be flirting. Remember, context is key when using emojis! Ask yourself if she’s trying to express encouragement, care, or if she’s flirting.
- Respond with a message like 'I wish I could hug you right now!'
- If you're unsure how to respond, send an emoji similar to what she sent you. In this case, you’d send a hugging emoji.
Laughing out loud emoji 😂

You’ve really showcased your great sense of humor. When she sends you a laughing emoji, it means she enjoys your conversation and finds it fun. The laughing emoji is one of the most commonly used ones, and it doesn’t imply flirting.
- Try responding with a line like “I’m glad someone appreciates my sense of humor 😅.”
The Smirking Face emoji 😏

Your conversation just got more lively. The smirking face emoji may suggest flirting or teasing, but she might also use it after a sarcastic comment or a playful jab.
- Don’t confuse the smirking face 😏 (half-smile and raised eyebrow) with the disapproving face 😒 (same raised eyebrow, but with a downturned mouth expressing displeasure).
- Add a few flirty emojis in your reply, like 👀😉😈.
- Try sending a playful message like “So, where are we going tonight?”
The Kiss Mark emoji 💋

You’ve just received a virtual kiss! This is definitely a flirty message, suggesting that she wants to kiss you in real life.
- Respond with a blushing emoji (😊) or a blushing kiss emoji (😘).
- To up the flirt factor, try sending emojis like 🔥 or 😏 if you feel it’s appropriate.
- If you’re interested in meeting up, make a date by saying “How about dinner this Friday?”
The Blushing Kiss emoji 😚

This is the most intimate kiss emoji in the set. When she sends this, it means she’s comfortable with you, and the connection between the two of you is becoming increasingly close! Respond with something sweet and genuine, like a compliment.
- Don’t overthink it! You can reply with a message like “You’re truly amazing” or “I love how you always make me laugh.”
- Send a message like “Come on, you’re making me blush!” or “I’m getting butterflies now.”
- You can respond with a blushing emoji (😊) or heart-eyes emoji (😍).
The Kiss with Heart emoji 😘

This is a clear sign she likes you! This emoji is “cuter” than the other kiss emojis, and she’ll use it when she wants to show affection. She might also use it to add emotion to her thank-you after receiving a compliment.
- You can reply with a cute message like “Are you missing me?”
- Make a date by saying “So, when can I see you again?”
- You could also send 😘 to hint that you want to kiss her too!
The Heart Eyes emoji 😍

Chances are, you sent something that made her smile. This emoji has a rather complex meaning! The heart eyes indicate she’s engaged in the conversation and wants to show affection or enjoyment (towards you or a specific message). Since many people use this emoji to imply 'I like this,' don’t jump to the conclusion that she’s in love with you. However, it's still a good sign that she enjoys chatting with you.
- Reply to her message with emojis like 😊 or 🤗.
Two hearts intertwined 💞

This emoji carries one of the highest flirtation meanings among heart emojis. She might use this when she's starting to flirt, as a way of showing that she likes you. She could also send two static hearts, which is less common for romantic messages but still frequently used among friends.
- If you’re unsure, mimic her and respond with the two intertwined hearts (💞).
- Hearts in colors like orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple tend to signify less intimacy. Maybe she feels that red or pink hearts are too intimate for this stage. Don’t worry, keep the conversation going, and who knows? You might just get those intertwined hearts from her!
Red heart ❤️

Interpret the meaning of this emoji based on the context. If she sends it without a specific reason or during flirting, it’s likely a way of expressing affection, as the red heart represents romance. However, in contexts like school, work, or sharing a favorite movie, she might just be saying 'I like this.'
- If you think she’s flirting, try responding with a message like 'I miss you.'
- If you think she’s being friendly, reply with a more neutral emoji like 🙂.
Rose symbol 🌹

This is a classic romantic gesture represented by an emoji. When you receive a rose emoji, consider it as though you’ve been given a real bouquet! Perhaps she has feelings for you.
- You could send a blushing face emoji (😊) to thank her.
- For flirting, you might text something like “🌹🌹🌹 I bought an entire bouquet just for you.”
Rainbow symbol 🌈

She uses this symbol to refer to the LGBTQ+ community. If you're a woman or non-binary and receive this emoji from another woman, it might be a sign she's interested in you. On the other hand, anyone can use this emoji to talk about something beautiful or wonderful, so avoid over-interpreting its meaning.
- If you're unsure whether she’s flirting or just being friendly, send the 🤗 emoji as it’s positive but not overtly flirtatious.
Advice
- The black (🖤) and brown (🤎) heart symbols are used to express solidarity with the Black community. If you are not a member of this community, consider using a red heart or another color instead.
