From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 👩👩👧👦 mean from a guy you don't know?
Much like from a female stranger, this is a red flag. A random guy sending this is either trying too hard, being inappropriate, or just plain weird. Unless it's in a very specific, queer-friendly context, assume it's an 'ick' and disengage. It's not the emoji for initial greetings.

This is a wild card. He might be trying to be overly familiar and cute, hinting at a future together (which is a lot, early on), or he's just using it as a general 'us' to describe an activity you did together without deeper meaning. If it's early, it's probably him trying to be funny or test the waters. If you're in a deep situationship, it could be a subtle soft launch signal.
