Also from from a guy
From your crush
If your crush sends this, he's definitely noticed you or something you did. It's often a chill way to say 'I saw your story' or 'I'm watching what you're up to,' without being too intense. It can be flirty in a low-key, 'I'm interested in what you're doing' kind of way, or just a simple 'acknowledgement' if you're already in a talking stage.
