Popular Flirty Emojis and What They Mean

Many emojis have a universal meaning and are great to use in daily conversations. Here are some of the most popular romantic texting symbols:

• ❤️ Red heart - This emoji moved from flirting into daily communication and is now used casually to convey excitement or appreciation as well as romance. Example: "I love dogs! ❤️"
• 😍 Heart eyes - Commonly interpreted as a swoon moment. It can mean a strong liking of something or loving something. Example: "The food at (X) restaurant was amazing😍" vs. "You're great, you know that, right?😍"
• 🥰 Smiling face with surrounding hearts - This one is warm and affectionate but not risqué, nor is it solely romantic.
• 😘 Kissy face - **** Simply, “I’m sending you a kiss.” But don’t overthink it, it´s often just friendly.
• 😊 Blushing smile - **** Innocent and often used in early dating. Example: “I enjoyed our date 😊”
• 😉 The winking face - The playful hallmark of a flirty text. You can almost be sure they’re being flirty.
• 😏Smirking emoji - It’s a step beyond the wink emoji and implies teasing suggestively. 
• 🫣 Peaking face - Adding this means you’re pushing it and want to see how they react. 
• 🙈 “See-no-evil” monkey - Used to express that they´re shy and can also mean they´re embarrassed.
• 😳 Flushed face - **** Means they´re embarrassed or surprised. 
• 👀 Eyes emoji - Shows intrigue. It can mean, “I saw that, but I don’t mind seeing more.” Unlike the flushed face, it’s more often positive, playful, and inviting.

💦 (Sweat Droplets) – Has sexual undertones in almost every context. Only use with clear consent.

😈 (Smiling Devil) – Flirty in a naughty way. It can come off as pushy or aggressive.
