From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 🔎 mean from a guy you don't know?
A stranger sending 🔎 can be neutral, like someone asking for more details about a public post, or it can lean towards slightly sus. If it's a cold DM without clear context, it might be someone 'investigating' your profile in a way that feels invasive. Trust your gut and be wary of anyone who seems overly inquisitive without a clear reason.

From your crush
If your crush sends 🔎, he might be playfully teasing you about something, like 'I'm looking for where you got that idea.' It could also signify genuine curiosity about your thoughts or activities, implying he's trying to 'figure you out' in a subtle, non-committal way. It's not explicitly flirty, but it shows he's engaged and paying attention.
