This is sort of like saying “I agree,” or, “Totally!” If the two of you have been flirting a bit and you send the same emoji back, it’s sort of like saying, “The feeling is mutual,” or, “I like you, too. ”

Go for the cat version (😻) for something a little on the cuter side. To say, “I feel and appreciate the love” try the 🥰 emoji. The basic ❤️ (in any color) is a good option.

The couples emoji (👩🏾‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏾) is great if you want to say, “I love our relationship!” or, “We’d make a cute couple. ” The kissy lips (💋) or peck (😙) emoji is a little more intimate, but not too sexual. The smirk (😏) is a good suggestive option that isn’t super aggressive. You can send one of the more sexually-explicit emojis (🍑, 💦, 🍆, etc. ) if you really want to shoot your shot. Be careful here, though. They may take it the wrong way if you’re crossing an established boundary and they’ve already said they don’t like you like that.

The hands up (🙌🏽) or prayer hands (🙏🏻) emojis are great if you want to say, “I totally agree with you” or, “I appreciate the support. ” The flex emoji (💪🏿) is awesome if you want to brag about something. Use the wide eyes emoji (👀) if you want to imply that you’re surprised or shocked.

The hugging face emoji (🤗) is a simple way of digitally embracing them to show you cherish them. The fist bump (🤜) is good if you want to be as non-flirty as possible. The relieved emoji (😌) is a solid option if you want to say, “Thank you for making me feel better. ”

This combo: 👨🏼‍🚀 🚀🌙 might read as “I’m going to the moon” or “I’m out of this world!” This: 🧑🏻‍❤️‍💋‍🧑🏼 could read as “I love and kiss you” on a literal level. This would be a really explicit, flirty option! For a playfully (or potentially very straightforward) romantic response, you could send 👰 🤵 or 👸 🤴 to imply that the two of you are an awesome pair.

If you want to test the water a bit, you could send a gif of someone winking, or making a kissy face. You could also send a gif of a hedgehog smiling, or a dog hugging their owner to keep things positive and friendly without being flirtatious.

“Aw, I really appreciate that!” “You’re sweet. ” “You always know how to make a guy/gal feel loved. ”

“So, where are you and I going on our date this weekend?” “What would we be doing if we were hanging out together right now?” “You’re awesome. Would you ever want to go out?” “You know, I really enjoy texting you. We should do this in person, some time. ”

For example, if you said something like, “I’m totally getting a chihuahua whenever I get out of here and get my own place,” and they say “I love those dogs” followed by a 😍 emoji, you could reply, “They’re so funny looking,” or, “I just giggle every time I see them. I totally need one. ”

You could say something like, “Btw, everyone is going to that corner bar after work tomorrow if you want to come,” or, “Ugh, I’ve gtg. My mom is calling me downstairs. ” You might just ask them, “Random question, did we have any math homework?” or, “You see that new Marvel movie?” You can always not reply for a while and wait for them to pick things back up. This is a little avoidant, and they may take it the wrong way if the conversation was going back and forth a lot, but it’s an option.
