What does it mean when a girl sends you an emoji? If you canβt tell whether sheβs flirting or not, read on to check our guide on interpreting what those mysterious symbols can mean and the best ways to respond. From the most for-sure flirty emojis to the ones that could mean she just likes you as a friend, weβve compiled a decoded list to help you figure out what she might be saying!

Winking face π
Download Article
Sheβs 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 (π). A winking face that has a stuck-out tongue could signal sheβs 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, βπ Stop distracting me! Iβm busy.β[2]
- You could also send something like, βπβ to play it cool or βπβ to be a little sassy.

- To step up your flirting game try saying, βOo I made you blush!β

Heart eyes show that sheβs into the conversation and wants to express affection or enthusiasm (either for you or for a specific text).

Two revolving hearts π
Download Article
These are the flirtiest out of the emoji hearts. Sheβs 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 (π) 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. Donβt worry, keep talking to her and you might get a two revolving hearts emoji![18]
Interpret this one within the context of your conversation. If she sends it to you randomly or while youβre flirting, sheβs likely showing affection, since a red heart is the classic symbol of romance. However, if youβre talking about school, work, or favorite movies, she could just be using the red heart to mean βI love that.β[19]
- If you think sheβs being flirty, try sending back a sweet text like, βI miss you.β
- If you think sheβs just being friendly, send back a neutral emoji like π.
