From a Guy
What does 😛 mean from a guy?
From a guy, the 😛 often leans into self-deprecating humor, goofiness, or lighthearted teasing. It can be his way of saying 'I'm just being silly' or 'don't take me too seriously.' While it can be flirty, it sometimes comes across as less smooth than when a girl uses it, often adding a layer of ironic self-awareness.
