  1. 1

    "Aw, you’re so sweet." If your crush or a partner called you an angel, return the favor by praising their kindness. This response will also work well if you're not quite sure of their feelings for you just yet.

    • "You're so kind. 😊"
  2. 2

    "You're too kind 😇." This message makes you appear confident and cute. If you received this compliment over text, adding the angel emoji will give your message a flirtatious touch.

    • For a more mischievous response with a similar effect, you might try "Who, me? 😈"
  3. 3

    "You’re making me blush." If you're excited that this person is flirting with you, whether they're a crush or someone you're dating, try a flirtier response. They'll like knowing their compliment made you blush, and you'll appear both humble and flattered.

    • If you're texting, add a blushing smiley face emoji (😊) to make your text a little more playful.
  4. 4

    "You’re pretty angelic yourself." If you've got feelings for this person, try giving them a compliment in return. This response is a fun way to praise them without giving all of your feelings away.

    • "I think you're pretty cool, too."
  5. 5

    "Thanks—what are you up to today?" It's possible that you're not exactly thrilled this person is flirting with you. If you've just been called an angel by someone on a dating app or a potential match (that you're not interested in), try changing the subject. It'll gently let them down and they'll hopefully get the hint.

    • "Oh thank you. How have you been?"
  6. 6

    "Thank you!" Getting called an angel by a friend feels pretty good, too. If you're flattered by the compliment, let this person know that you're thankful.[1]

    • "Wow, thanks so much!”
  7. 7

    • "I'm so thankful for your kind words."
  8. 8

    "This totally made my day!" If you're really touched by this person's compliment, let them know that it was the highlight of your day. This is a surefire way to make them know that you appreciated their words.

    • "You just made my day so much better."
