Our 10 emojis guide to textual chemistry

We can’t deny the widespread world dominating love for little message icons, they are fun, add flair, and can be a great empowering tools in expressing yourself beyond words. This is especially so when flirting, because let’s be honest, almost anything can be turned into flirting. Especially Emoji’s.

So this is the handy guide for those of us who, perhaps, just aren't as good with words. Here are some of our favorite Emoji’s to use this summer to hit those sexting smilestones.

From the heart

The little black dress of Emoji’s: so simple, yet oh so versatile, a good place to start our guide to flirting with Emoji. It’s important to know that every different colored heart has a different meaning; Instagram even did a heart emoji study!

Without being equipped with Emoji heart etiquette, you run the risk of coming on too love-strong with a red heart too early on.

Yellow

Radiates pure bright springy love, a sunshiney expression of connection, happiness and friendship.

Purple

Shows a glamorous expression of love and compassion… with suggestions of a temptress in there too.

The wink 

We all know the meaning of a wink; we’ve been using it since the days of Nokia 3210. It shows that you’re fun, whimsical and damn irresistible.

The smirk

Show you naughty side with a little too-cool-for-school smirk after your first sleepover. It’s a pretty suave yet super adorable way to celebrate getting a little naughty with your new squeeze. After all, pictures speak louder than words

Sad face with single sweat drop

Don’t confuse this with having done a hard days work, no no. The bringer of bad news, this Emoji can only mean one thing: ‘It’s raining and I have no choice but to bail on you’.

Bull’s-eye

Sparks are flying across your office, but your not sure how to turn vanilla work chat into playtime? Go for the direct hit – “Working lunch Wednesday”

“ Yes, where?” - Bulls-eye!!

See no evil

To ask some risqué or cheekier than normal you need to use some serious monkey business Emoji’s. It’s a get-out-of-jail-free card, because it magically turns everything you say into adorableness.

“Maybe forget to bring your pajamas to our sleepover this time… ”

Baby symbol

It’s not often we wipe the cobwebs off Emoji’s from the symbol section. I mean, who needs a black square, red circle or whatever the heck   means, to express the deepest emotions!? The baby symbol, however, describes perfectly the absolutely terrible hangover that literally has you crawling to the refrigerator for a coke.

Woman tipping hand

This sassy woman in pink is the fierce way to announce to everyone that you’re a total diva. “Bitch, I’m flawless”. 

And when all else fails, say it with a smiley poop.
