I am texting with my crush and I can feel she likes me.
she send me heart emojis a few times over text. One was for my birthday and she goes "happy birthday, Tom!" followed by a big red emoji heart like this one https://www.huhmagazine.co.uk/8421/the-most-popular-word-of-2014-was-a-heart-emoji
She then did it several times.
