You might be in a relationship with someone that you really like, and when the two of you are away from each other, you might text each other to see how things are going. However, what do you do if your partner uses a lot of emojis in his or her texts and you don’t know what any of them mean? How do you approach this situation if you feel like you are missing information in the texts? Though the answers to these questions may be different for everyone, here are a few suggestions.

1. Talk to your partner about it.

Let your partner know that though you enjoy texting him or her throughout the day, you feel like you aren’t getting the whole message. Tell him or her that you are not versed in the meaning behind certain emojis, and find out if this created any miscommunication between the two of you.
