    The 💛 emoji is pretty platonic compared to the other hearts of the emoji lexicon. If emojis could talk, the 💛 would say something like “You mean a lot to me,” “I love you like a parent/sibling,” or “I’m so glad to have you in my life.” [1]
    • If your crush texts you a 💛, there’s a good chance they just see you as a friend.

    I've been going on dates with this asexual person, and they constantly send me the yellow heart whenever we say goodnight. I was told it was romantic, so I may just be overthinking it. Any advice?
    Community Answer
    Ask them why they specifically send the yellow hearts and not the ones of other colors. The yellow heart may be the most aesthetically pleasing to them. Yellow may be their favorite color, as it represents sunshine, brightness, and positivity. It may be your favorite color, too, or just a color you wore on dates with them.
