It can be really easy to just think, "Oh, she's just texting, so she's just sending those emojis." Some people are like that, but most people know that certain emojis are just more flirtatious than others. I'm talking about things like a wink after she says something, like maybe a compliment, the heart eyes, or like the smiley one with the hearts around them. There are just certain emojis that just have that flirtatious vibe to them. And so if she uses a lot of those with you, it can be a huge sign that, you know, she's trying to drive home what she's saying in a flirtatious way. Like, if she were to just say, like, let's pretend she texted you, "Cuz you're just awesome like that," and a smirk, or "You're just awesome like that," and the heart eyes, okay, that's flirting. If it's, "Well, you're just awesome like that," thumbs up, maybe not flirting. So that's one of the benefits of emojis is they kind of help you explain without explaining. What your meaning is. So if you're texting a gal or chatting online and you notice she's using, like, a lot of hearts and stuff, that's a good sign.
