Dating App DeveloperWhen it comes to sending flirty or sexual emojis in a chat, timing and context are everything. The key is to feel out the vibe between you two first. If the conversation is playful and you both seem comfortable with teasing or light innuendo, that’s a good sign the door is open for more suggestive emojis. It’s not about rushing—just like with planning a date, you want to test the waters with subtle moves and see how they respond before diving in. Start small. You could use something that’s playful but not too suggestive, like the peach emoji, and see how they react. If they engage with it or react with their own playful twist, you’ll know they’re on the same page as you. But if they seem unsure or don't respond to it with the same energy, back off for now and keep things on a lighter note. -
