What Do the Different Heart Emojis and Colors Mean in Texting?

The most popular of all the heart emojis, the red heart signifies love, as well as passion and romance, making it the perfect symbol of your fervent feelings. It's anything but casual, which means you don't want to send it to acquaintances, co-workers or after a first date, no matter how well it went. Keep it for communications with your inner circle, including your S.O., as well as close friends and family, and, of course, those Valentine's Day Instagram posts.

There's no doubt about it. The flaming heart emoji is lit. (Sorry, we just had to do it.) Seriously sexy, and all about the kind of passion so fiery it burns, this one can reference a smoking hot relationship, or be posted along with🔥on an en fuego selfie or even as a comment on your BFF's latest spicy Insta pic. It's not the kind of thing you want to send to a family member or (eek) your boss.
