What does the emoticon sent by a woman mean? If you can't tell the difference between flirting and joking through the emoticons in a message, read on to learn how to interpret these mysterious symbols. We've rounded up the meaning of the emoticons that a woman sends, whether it's an emoticon that shows love or an emoticon that shows that she just wants to be friends!
Step
Method 1 of 13: Wink
Step 1. He's trying to be flirty
The standard wink emoticon showing a smiling face with one eye closed is more “flirty” than a wink with a sticking out tongue. The winking emoticon with the tongue sticking out is a sign that he just wants to look silly. Give a light and joking response when you receive this emoticon.
- Send him a meme or continue to tease or joke with him.
- Respond with a standard wink and the text reads “Stop distracting me! I am busy."
Method 2 of 13: Smile and blushing face
Step 1. He really likes you and wants to get to know you better
Interpret these beautiful emoticons as a message that he likes your conversation or likes something you have to say. Whatever you just said made him feel happy and excited!
Reply to the emoticon with an equally cute hug emoticon or a message that says “I can't stop thinking about you!”
Method 3 of 13: Hug emoticon
Step 1. This emoticon shows concern, but the context is not always to tease
Remember, when interpreting an emoticon, context is everything! Ask yourself if he's trying to support, encourage, or seduce you.
If you don't know what to reply, send the same emoticon. In this case, you are like hugging him back
Method 4 of 13: Laughter emoticon
Step 1. You have successfully demonstrated a sense of humor that makes him happy
When you get a laugh emoticon from a woman, it shows that she is entertained and enjoys talking to you. However, this emoticon is one of the most used by everyone and is not usually used for flirting.
Method 5 of 13: Grinning emoticon
Step 1. Your conversation may start to heat up
Grinning emoticons can be a signal to flirt or flirt, but the person you're talking to may use it after leaving a sarcastic comment or a flirty joke.
- Don't confuse the grinning emoticon (a slight smile with raised eyebrows) from the unhappy emoticon (which has the same eyebrow shape, but the mouth looks downwards).
- Try to respond by sending flirty messages like “So where are we going tonight?”
Method 6 of 13: Kiss emoticon
Step 1. You just got a virtual kiss
This emoticon shows a flirty message which means that he might want to kiss you in real life.
- Reply with blush emoticons or kiss emoticons with blushing faces.
- If you're going to meet her or ask her out on a date, ask her out by saying, "Would you like to go out to dinner with me next Friday?"
Method 7 of 13: Kiss emoticon with blushing face
Step 1. These are the most intimate kiss emoticons
When a woman sends it, it means that she is comfortable with you and your relationship is starting to turn romantic! Reply to the emoticon with something sweet and genuine, like giving him a compliment.
- Don't think too hard. You can reply with a message like “You're so amazing” or “I'm glad you can always make me laugh.”
- You can even reply with a smiling blushing emoticon or a happy face emoticon with heart-shaped eyes.
Method 8 of 13: Kiss emoticon with a heart
Step 1. This is a sign that he likes you
These are the “cute” kiss emoticons you usually get from a woman who wants to show interest. He may also use it in response to a compliment or to exaggerate thanks.
You can respond with a sweet message, such as "You missed me, didn't you?"
Method 9 of 13: Heart-shaped eye emoticon
Step 1. You might send him a message that makes him smile
Sometimes this can be a bit tricky to interpret! Heart-shaped eyes show that he is interested in your conversation and wants to show affection or enthusiasm (either to you or the topic at hand). Since some people usually use this emoticon to show they like something, you shouldn't assume that the girl likes you. However, you should keep the conversation warm, because heart-shaped eyes are a sign that he likes to talk to you.
Method 10 of 13: Two spinning hearts
Step 1. This is the most flirty heart emoticon among other heart emoticons
He usually uses these emoticons early in the flirting stage to show that he really likes you. He may also send a static two-heart emoticon that is rarely used in romantic messages and is more commonly used to show friendship.
- When in doubt, just reply to the message with the same emoticon, which is two spinning hearts.
- Orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple hearts indicate uncommitted interest. The woman may feel that a red or pink heart is too romantic to use at this time. Don't worry, just keep talking to him and you might get a spinning two hearts emoticon!
Method 11 of 13: Hearts are red
Step 1. Interpret these emoticons according to the context of your conversation
If he randomly sends it or sends it while you're flirting, he's probably showing interest because a red heart is a classic symbol of romance. However, if you're talking about school, work, or your favorite movie, using the emoticon can mean "I like the thing that's being discussed".
Method 12 of 13: Rose emoticon
Step 1. This is a classic romantic gesture in the form of emoticons
When you get a rose emoticon, its value is the same as receiving flowers in real life! He may be romantically attracted to you.
You can respond by sending a blushing emoticon to show your gratitude
Method 13 of 13: Rainbow emoticon
Step 1. He may send this emoticon to refer to the LGBTQ+ community
If you are a woman or a non-binary who receives this emoticon from a woman, she may be showing interest. On the other hand, anyone can use these emoticons to convey something beautiful or extraordinary. So, don't immediately assume that you know the other person's sexual orientation through the emoticon he sends.
