The Best Emojis to Text Your Summer Fling

Is it hot in here, or is it just your love life?

We're well into the summer season, and things have been heating up in the dating department for long enough that you may have a few flings already feeling the fire. But whether you're new to the art of the summer fling or have been honing your skills for a few years now, it's never a bad time to spice things up with some proper texting techniques.

There are some intricacies to texting a fling, after all, as you're still in a delicate zone that's balanced somewhere between flirtationship, situationship and relationship (each of which has its own unique communication standards). Thankfully, there's one thing that can set you up for success when it comes to texting your summer fling: emojis. Before you start crafting that next text, though, do yourself a favor and do just a little bit of homework by looking through our list of the best emojis to send to your summer fling below.

Best Emoji Overall: 😎

The 😎 emoji encapsulates summer perfectly, and it comes with the extra playful edge of the smirk below the sunglasses that says, "I know you like me." Whether you're figuring out plans for the next beach trip or just describing what you had for lunch that day, this emoji is our No. 1 for texting your summer fling in just about any situation.

Best Emoji for Flirty Banter: 😉

If you've seen even a single episode of Love Island (the UK version, of course), you'll know that banter is basically everything. When you and your summer fling are throwing some fun comebacks at each other in a bantering way, spice it up with an extra winky face 😉 next time to show them that you see this conversation as more flirty than friendly.

Best Emoji for Making Plans: 👀

If there's one emoji that can easily convince someone to join you for whatever it is you're planning, it's this one: 👀. A simple emoji can say a lot, and this one has more power to convince people than any well-written speech ever could. So, next time you want to invite your crush to the beach, try adding these eyes to your "Beach tomorrow?" text.

Best Emoji When You Want to Keep Them on Their Toes: 🤠 or 👽

Slightly mischievous, yet ultimately just downright confusing is how one could describe the 🤠 and 👽 emojis (usually used separately, so take your pick between the two or else you fling might think you've just been abducted by some cowboy aliens). If your answer to, "What are you up to this weekend?" is truly an "idk," adding one of these adventurous faces will keep things fun and flirty without going overboard.

 

Best Emoji for Commenting on Their Stories: 👏

Skip the fire emoji and go with something that shows affection, yet leaves them wanting more—something like the hands clapping emoji, that is 👏. Sure, anyone could throw out a fire emoji or heart eyes, but this one will have them guessing as to why you didn't go with one of the others, and that might just secure you the level of flirty fling texting you're looking for.

Best Emoji When You're Feeling Sassy: 💁‍♀️/💁‍♂️, 💃 or 💅

When your fling isn't giving you what you want or has just said anything worthy of a fun-but-sassy text back, add in a 💁‍♀️, 💃 or 💅  to keep things lighthearted. Or, you could just use them to say that you "don't care" or even that you feel like getting extra dressed up that day, so the options are truly endless.
