Detective 🕵️
People & Body
From a Guy — From your crush
What does 🕵️ mean from a guy you like?
He's probably seen something on your story or a post that piqued his interest, and he's subtly fishing for more details or an explanation. It can be a low-key flirt, like 'I'm trying to figure you out in a cute way.' It means he's paying attention, which is a good sign, but it's not a full-on love confession.
