  1. This reply works in any scenario. Whether you’re texting a friend, your mom or dad, or your S.O., responding with the 🤍 emoji shows that you feel the same way or appreciate their kind words.
    • “Love you so much too 🤍”
    • “Thanks for reaching out, I really appreciate it 🤍”
    • “Could not agree more 🤍”
  2. There are a lot of heart emojis to choose from, and like the 🤍 emoji, they all have different meanings. Respond with one of these heart emojis that best fits your situation:
    • ❤️ - A classic. The ❤️ emoji symbolizes romantic love. It’s perfect for a S.O.
    • 🧡 - Can represent both romantic and platonic love. Works for both friends and romantic partners.
    • 💛 - Represents friendship and happiness. Choose the 💛 emoji if you’re messaging a friend. [3]
    • 💖 - Usually a symbol of romantic love. The 💖 emoji is a good choice if you’re texting a new partner who you’re head over heels for.
  3. The 🤍 emoji can be pretty confusing when it comes from your crush. Did they mean it in a platonic, “you’re such a great friend” kind of way? Or is it a flirty, “you’re so special to me and I totally want to date you” sort of thing? Since it could be either, hold off on admitting how you feel for now and give them the chance to clarify or ask you out. Text them something like:
    • “🤍😄 Any fun plans this weekend? I surprisingly have a free schedule for once.”
    • “🧡 I’m dying to try that new sushi place downtown, but I haven’t gotten the chance to go yet 😔”
    • “🤍 So exhausted, can’t keep my eyes open. Maybe I’ll see you this weekend?”
