Talking to the person you admire or perhaps even have a crush on can be pretty overwhelming, even in chat and messages. Although your nervousness is a little decreased when talking to your love interest, there will be instances when you cannot help but feel butterflies in your stomach. You are lost for words, and you have no idea what to say or how to start a conversation. You think that you will say something cringe-worthy or corny.
But worry not! Emojis can help you start conversations with the person you like, as these emoticons bring a better tone in messaging. They make your messages sound more casual, and they can even make you look more approachable or laidback. So, from face icons to parts of the body such as the emoji eye, here are five emoticons you can use when you want to sound smooth to your crush.
1. Brain
Good looks may capture your attention. But to several people, intelligence is sexier than physical appeal. This trait may vary, including book smarts, street smarts, political awareness, or knowledge about different subjects or topics. Nevertheless, you will have meaningful, informative, and fun conversations with intelligent people. And if you want to compliment someone’s intelligence, feel free to let them know by sending them a brain emoji.
Introduced in 2010 as part of Unicode 10.0, this icon displays a pink human brain. Its design may vary in different platforms, with some showing a cartoonish appeal while others feature a 3D-like display.
Use this emoji when letting someone know that they are intelligent! There is no shame in adding this icon to messages like “You’re pretty smart” or “You’re knowledgeable about many things, aren’t you?” Aside from letting them know that you learn a lot from them, you are also subtly flattering their intelligence. But be careful with your tone. It may sound sarcastic to some people, and they might not take it too lightly.
2. Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes
It is not a surprise if you are friends or follow your crush on social media. Aside from seeing their posts, you will get to know how their day goes or what are the things that they like. They may post their favorite hobby, adored pet, a movie or show that you also happen to be a fan of, and many more. Your crush will most likely share what they enjoy wearing or doing on their social media account and what icon is better to get their attention than the smiling face with heart-eyes emoji.
This icon shows a face smiling widely with its eyes covered by red hearts, as its name indicates. And you might also see this 2010 icon introduced in Unicode 6.0 on different social media posts, mostly in comments of photos or videos.
Aside from the comments section, you can also use it to slide in your crush’s DMs. When they share a story you genuinely like, feel free to react with this emoji! Sure, you might feel ignored, but there is no shame in trying.
3. Rolling on the Floor Laughing
While people may find looks and intelligence alluring based on their preferences, a sense of humor can also be pretty sexy to others. Sure, the person you like might not be the most physically appealing or the smartest around, but if they are hilarious, they can be pretty enjoyable to be with. There will not be a dull moment when you are with a humorous person, and what better way to let them know of this trait than the rolling on the floor laughing emoji.
This icon was introduced in 2016 as a part of Unicode 9.0, and it shows a laughing face covered in tears as if it is almost lying down. This icon also has more names, including laughing emoji, lmao emoji, and many more.
When chatting with your crush, use this icon whenever they tell you a joke that you find genuinely hilarious! However, do not send them this icon when you think their joke is not funny. Although you like them, you still need to be genuine.
4. Smiling Face with Sunglasses
It is not a surprise if the person you like has unique confidence and swagger. After all, confidence is attractive, like intelligence, sense of humor, and perhaps even physique. You have a whole different appeal when you are confident with yourself and think that you are a great person. So, if the person you like is cool and confident, let them know by sending them a smiling face with sunglasses emoji.
A part of Unicode 6.0, this emoji was added in 2010 and eventually became a part of Emoji 1.0. This icon shows a face wearing a pair of sunglasses while smiling confidently.
Whenever the person you like posts something awesome, send them a message like “You’re so cool,” followed by this emoji. A compliment or anything good might be something they need to hear for their day.
5. Eye
And lastly, let us admit that appearances can be alluring. Most people have preferences, and they vary from one person to another. Some may like someone of a certain height, while others fancy a specific race. Either way, appearances can matter, and some like people with beautiful eyes. And if the person you like has a pair of alluring eyes, tell them that they have one, then follow it up with an eye emoji.
It may look unnerving, but do not worry! This icon is a part of Unicode 7.0 and was eventually added to Emoji 0.7. It shows an eye with its color varying from platform to platform. Possible hues include blue, yellow, brown, gray, and orange.
In a Nutshell
Overall, you can generally use any emojis when you flatter and take notice of someone’s positive characteristics. Whether physical or not, it would not hurt if you compliment them for their good traits. These five emojis are just some of the many icons you can use. Feel free to explore more emojis you can send!
