  • Melting into a puddle.

  • Also used when you're feeling dazed or experiencing intense emotions.

  • Melt: to soften, disperse, or disappear, as in feelings of anger or hostility; a reaction to kindness or gentleness. Like when "my heart melted within me."

  • When someone says cheesy lines, and you just melt.

  • Use this emoji to show being totally relaxed.

  • Why is it smiling, though?! Seems like it's an expression for when someone likes you or you like someone... you're melting.

  • Feeling shy, hence the melting emoji.
