Smileys & Emotion
From a Girl — From your crush
What does 🤕 mean from a girl you like?
If your crush sends this, she's probably trying to be relatable or a bit vulnerable, showing you her 'silly' side. It could be a playful 'my head hurts from thinking about you' (if you're deep in the talking stage) or just 'I'm so tired/stressed/made a dumb mistake, haha'. It’s a good sign she feels comfortable enough to be less polished with you.
