【Female Hostel 3】

The Female Hostel 3language of love is a tough one to master. And the language of online dating? Even tougher. Sure, you can use all the eggplant and peach emoji in the world—but how do you tell your match, in emoji form, that you only want a casual fling?

There are literally no suitable emoji for certain things, like letting your friends know you're out for an evening of Netflix and chill—or that your love life is basically a burning dumpster. We've come up with a comprehensive guide to all the emoji urgently required by online daters. Here's hoping they manifest in the world—and your love life—in due time.

Netflix and chill

Ah, "Netflix and chill": the greatest euphemism for sex in the contemporary history of, well, sex. By posing the question "Netflix and chill?" on a dating app, you're making it fairly clear what you're looking for: no-strings sex. But, articulated via emoji, this not-so-subtle booty call becomes a low-key request. Classy, yet effective.

Ghosting

Ghosting: happens to the best of us (and the best of us might even be guilty of it, too).What if you could call out ghosters in emoji form? All we're asking for is a quick way to throw shade with a simple "I see you."

Tinder Super Like

Tinder's Super Like function lets you tell people when you're really, really into them (maybe too into them). But, if you've swiped right—and not Super Liked—your match, this enthusiastic emoji will let your new connection know you super like them.

There are times when online dating can be deeply frustrating. And, if throwing an app into a dumpster and setting fire to it were an option, you'd just go ahead and do it. Well, here's the emoji you've been craving. Next time your friends ask how your love life is, just send them this.

Hookup

Nothing says "hit me on my cellphone" for late-night love like a sexy pink telephone emoji. No need to awkwardly ask your match if they're up for a casual hookup, just send the pink telephone emoji and they'll know what you mean.

Breadcrumbing

Breadcrumbing might not be as bad as ghosting, but it's still not great. A breadcrumber will send countless messages on dating apps, creating a hunger for more. But they'll never meet you in person. If you suspect your match is breadcrumbing you and you feel the urge to call them out, send them the breadcrumb emoji to let them know you're onto them. When your mates text you to see if you've been out on a date lately, this loaf of bread will sum up why you're spending your nights on the sofa.

Facebook Official

Making your relationship Facebook Official is the most significant step in letting the world know you're no longer single and ready to mingle. In the age of nebulous relationship statuses, going official on Facebook is a major landmark in a relationship. Celebrate that milestone with this glorious emoji.

DTF?

There's no easy way to ask someone for gratuitous sex. And, not everyone will take too kindly to being asked outright. DTF—or, "down to fuck?"—is an acronym that gets a LOT of use on Tinder. But, this emoji states your objective loud and proud. Heck, you could even put it in your bio.

Coffee finally meets bagel

For those who find love on Coffee Meets Bagel—the app for singles looking for relationships—this emoji will perfectly encapsulate your relationship status. Coffee finally met bagel—and they fell in love. Aw.

Haunting

There are very few things in the world of online dating that are worse than ghosting. Except, perhaps, haunting. Haunting is when a person who's ghosted you suddenly re-emerges, and begins messaging you again. Tell them to get lost with this helpful haunting emoji.

Conversation killer

Seasoned online daters will be well aware that a simple "hi, how are you" will not cut it in the world of online dating. Send some useful advice to matches trying to woo you with this helpful nudge that says "please, for the love of god, try harder."

Silence

Unfortunately, online dating isn't always a never-ending stream of riveting conversation. More often than not, our icebreakers are met with silence. And, sometimes our matches leave us hanging mid-conversation. This emoji is the epitome of the deathly silence that comes hand in hand with online dating.

Super eye roll

Not everyone we match is to our liking. And, some people say some pretty cringeworthy stuff. When the standard eye roll emoji isn't enough for you, this super eye roll will tell your match you're cringing at what they just said.

Tumbleweed

Those conversation lulls on dating apps can be majorly annoying. Acknowledge the lull head-on with this tumbleweed emoji—in an effort to revive the chat. This emoji doubles up as the perfect way to describe your love life during a dry spell.
