  • It's kind of exciting, like 'wow, she's extraordinary!'

  • I'm meditating. Can't talk right now.

  • This emoji could express a sigh of disappointment or relief, but could also be used in a way which explains that the sender finds you attractive.

  • Wow 😮, in a tender, kind of hesitant way, wary of hiccups. It might have been there before or from a possible new lover. Someone approaching a former lover with new wonder and respect. That would be the deepest and most desirable meaning if loved back anyway and felt a lot of butterflies when he looks properly.

  • A great hookah session.

  • When all the work is done and you are tired.
