What does 5️⃣ mean from a guy you don't know?
Unknown sender. Could be anything from networking to weird. Stranger sending 5️⃣ is usually just a number. Could be 'I have five questions' or 'I saw your post with five likes.' Keep it literal unless other red flags pop up.
Also from from a guy
From your crush
If he's your crush and sends 5️⃣, he's either being super direct with 'five minutes' or he's giving you a subtle 'five stars' for something. It's often a low-key positive affirmation or a numerical reference you'll have to figure out from context.

How people actually use this in texts. Not the dictionary definition. In texting, 5️⃣ commonly means the number five, 'five out of five' (as a positive rating), or can act as a quick shorthand for a high-five. The meaning shifts heavily with context and who sent it.
Is 5️⃣ flirty or friendly?▾
Depends on who sent it and what came before. Here's how to tell the difference. 5️⃣ can definitely be flirty when sent by a crush or someone you're talking to, implying a 'five-star' rating for you or something you did.
