    All the Times Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan Have Been Insanely Flirty on Social Media

    It's like the only emoji they have is the kiss emoji.

    Outlander's Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan play two madly-in-love Scottish time travelers on TV (okay, only she travels and only he's Scottish)—and the world desperately wants art to mimic real life. In other words, fans want Sam and Cait to do it like they do on the Discovery channel, or in this case Starz. Yes, both actors are in relationships (Caitriona is actually engaged), but that doesn't stop them from giving we, the people, what we want on Twitter. Here are some of their best flirty exchanges.

    The time Caitriona captioned a picture with a self-deprecating comment and Sam chimed in to remind her how beautiful she is:

    Look I have weird hands.... Oh and you can get this today!!! Here at http://t.co/F9vmz2LOuQ #outlander pic.twitter.com/oYCEHlFjMiMarch 4, 2015

    The time Sam celebrated 200,000 followers with an AMA and Caitriona asked the only important question:

    @SamHeughan thanks hubby xx (only two xx this year..?)October 4, 2015

    The time their happy birthday exchange took a *very* flirty turn:

    Heard on set:Zzz zzz......"FRASIER"!......zzz zzz zMay 4, 2017

    The time they teased each other about catching zzzz's on set:

    ZzzzMay 4, 2017

    "New Balls Please!" 🎾🎾I'll let @caitrionambalfe tell you the score...#AnyOneForTennis #CallMeJamieMurray pic.twitter.com/ss3YTDxOIGJune 2, 2017

    The time Sam posted this picture to Twitter and we spent the next week imagining playing doubles with them:

    Special message for @SamHeughan #starfuryconventions #Highlanders2 😘😘😘😘 pic.twitter.com/TFzAJXdNISAugust 26, 2017

    The time Caitriona got a whole fan convention to help her record a message for Sam:

    Dirty, dirty boy !!!! @SamHeughan @More4Tweets pic.twitter.com/SWEqfCJm0AJuly 6, 2017

    The time Caitriona shamelessly called Sam a "dirty boy":

    Yeah @SamHeughan see below. https://t.co/RdfeuH8rJ5July 9, 2017

    The time Sam invited Twitter to ask him anything and Caitriona kept pointing out all the questions about how beautiful and awesome she is:

    Yeah @SamHeughan see below #ilikethisgame https://t.co/eSvYgdOaPtJuly 9, 2017

    Yeah @SamHeughan see below. https://t.co/RdfeuH8rJ5July 9, 2017

    The time Caitriona lovingly teased Sam about his drinking abilities:

    Says a very Drrruuuuunk @SamHeughan trying to prove a point !!!! #ValleyGirlSam https://t.co/0HLH9TbTsKSeptember 15, 2017

    The time Sam wished Caitriona luck at the Golden Globes and she responded with a bunch of kissy face emojis:

    😘😘😘 https://t.co/DrFWmkNlzlJanuary 7, 2018

    The time Caitriona credited her "Tele Hubby" with helping her get noticed by the Golden Globes:

    Congratulations @caitrionambalfe yazzzzz!!! @goldenglobes 🍾💃🏆December 11, 2017

    The time Sam made a NSFW Valentine's Day joke and Caitriona totally called him on it:

    Pearl necklace anyone? ❣️ https://t.co/ylbzzFCwolFebruary 14, 2018

    As you were, that is, if you can even recover from this level of flirtatiousness.
