Read the guide on kiss emoticons to find out if someone wants to flirt with you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ahhh, emoticons<\/strong><\/a>, so simple yet sometimes so complicated to interpret, especially when a man decides to send you a kiss emoticon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh my, he sent me a kiss… does it mean he already loves me?!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What should I do? Should I reciprocate? Or should I stay neutral just in case?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mhh, yeah, I know you just want to get me into bed, you sly one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won’t catch me… (or maybe you will)”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you deny that you’ve thought something remotely different from this? Probably not…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are at least 3 variants of the kiss emoticon, and each hides different meanings. Today, let’s finally clarify the hidden meaning behind this yellow face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading… you’ll see it’s fun, promised!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Emoticon: \ud83d\ude18 its real name is “kissy face”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The kissy face is the most commonly used emoticon for flirting, and we all know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, I know… now you’re thinking of all those people who sent it to you, and you’re wondering: “So, did the person who sent me this emoji flirt with me?” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is: it depends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it’s your cousin, then no, they weren’t flirting with you. They simply use it to convey feelings of affection and tenderness with the wrong emoticon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, on the other hand, the sender is a colleague of yours, well… then the doubt can remain! For example, you might interpret this face as a flirting attempt when you receive sentences like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c Hey <\/em>\ud83d\ude18\u201d<\/em>
\u201cWould you like a nice coffee<\/em>? <\/em>\ud83d\ude18\u201d<\/em>
\u201c… to try together… <\/em> <\/em>\ud83d\ude18\u201d<\/em>
\u201cIt’s always nice talking to you <\/em> <\/em>\ud83d\ude18\u201d<\/em>
\u201cDo you have plans tonight? <\/em>\ud83d\ude18\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Emoticon: \ud83d\ude1a known as “kissing face with closed eyes”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A bit less “forward” than the previous one. If a friend or someone close sends it to you, it might mean that this person feels particularly close to you but not necessarily in a romantic sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If, on the other hand, you receive it from someone with whom you feel something is developing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it might be that this person isn’t sure yet whether they want to flirt with you and go further, so they remain neutral but still “affectionate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some sentences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel really good with you<\/em><\/em> \ud83d\ude1a\u201d<\/em>
\u201cDo you have something to do now?<\/em><\/em>\ud83d\ude1a\u201d<\/em>
\u201cAm I bothering you?<\/em><\/em>\ud83d\ude1a\u201d<\/em>
\u201c See you tomorrow <\/em>\ud83d\ude1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Emoticon: \ud83d\ude19 also known as “kissing face with smiling eyes”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has a cheerful smile and bright eyes, features that make it a playful and friendly emoticon. Receiving it means you’re about to enter a playful whirlwind, and that person can’t wait to tease you more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some sentences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSorry, I’m a mess, but I really like you <\/em> <\/em>\ud83d\ude19\u201d<\/em>
\u201cI have no words, I dedicate a song to you… <\/em>\ud83d\ude19\u201d<\/em>
\u201cYou’ve brightened my day; it’s gotten better<\/em> <\/em>\ud83d\ude19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Emoticon: \ud83d\ude17 more precisely “kissing face”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Friendzone<\/a> incoming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This last one is an emoticon ignored by many and isn’t used very often. It’s classified as a “courtesy kiss” and fits well in formal and less intimate contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be used to convey kindness, gratitude, or cordiality without involving overly romantic situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, if you received it, the other person didn’t want to flirt at all; they were just trying to be polite\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, though, it’s not easy to say it with words; it’s easier to send an emoticon that only a few use to convey the message…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiss Emoticon: the formula of when, what, how<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To understand the meanings hidden behind this emoji, you have to start with what you’ve written to each other and how you or the other person responded to the messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, did they send you the kiss emoticon to greet you right after you just met?<\/em> They’re probably flirting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it the first emoticon you read even before responding with “hey”? They’re still flirting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you receive it as a reaction to one of your messages? Maybe this time they just wanted to be kind and didn’t know what to write…<\/em> Impossible because it was a message worthy of a response? Then it could be a way to acknowledge your message and say they agree with you, so they’re still flirting…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a series of questions to help you answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • When did I receive the emoticon? (e.g., as a greeting, when I posted a new photo…)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • What did we talk about? (e.g., spicy things, introductions, funny stories…)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How did they respond to me? (e.g., they used the emoticon as a reaction, the emoticon was a direct message…)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Did they send me just one? Or more than one? (e.g., “Hey <\/em>\ud83d\ude18“, “Here I am <\/em>\ud83d\ude18 \ud83d\ude18 \ud83d\ude18” …)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re looking for a way to clarify the situation better, remember to contextualize the messages and ask yourself the right questions using this formula!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The kiss emoticon changes meaning based on the combination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Emoticons are essential seasonings for a conversation: they can completely change the flavor of a message!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In your case, the kiss emoticon mixed with others could completely flip the conversation and give new meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some intriguing combos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \u2764\ufe0f (heart): This is how you fall into the arena of love and passion. This combination is the unmistakable sign of understanding and love.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83d\udc8b(lips): No pleasantries here; this goes straight to the point! This combination is a clear intent to flirt that doesn’t ask for permission and aims for something more physical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83e\udd17 (hug): A combination that expresses affection and warmth. It’s like receiving a hug, a friendly but sincere gesture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83d\ude02 (laughing face): If their message is a mix of kisses and laughter, they’re telling you that time with you is truly fun and worth sharing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83d\ude22 (sad face): A loving embrace in a moment of sadness. This combination speaks of comfort and emotional support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83d\ude48 (face covered by hands): Here, they might be a bit embarrassed about expressing their interest. It’s a form of shy tenderness and, if you will, a bit playful.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • \ud83d\ude18 + \ud83d\ude0f(smirking face): In this case, there’s no beating around the bush. Dear woman, if you receive this combination, the conversation has already taken a spicy turn…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Which emoticon to use in response to a kiss emoticon?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      No rules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      When you receive a kiss in the form of an emoticon, your response can define the tone of the conversation and create a specific atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Yes, exactly. No matter how you look at it, you’re the one holding the reins of the game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Read the guide on kiss emoticons to find out if someone wants to flirt with you Ahhh, emoticons,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36,48,46],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nKiss emoticon: what it means when you receive one<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A man has sent you a kiss emoticon, but you don't know what it means?
