From a Guy — From your crush
What does 👨🍼 mean from a guy you like?
If your crush sends this, he's probably trying to project 'caring' or 'responsible' vibes in a cute, self-aware way. He might be hinting at wanting to take care of you, or even low-key suggesting a future. It’s a soft attempt at showing maturity or protective energy, but still with a layer of irony to avoid being too serious.

Unknown sender? Block. If it’s not in a work context (and even then, probably still weird), it's probably someone trying to be overly paternalistic or just plain creepy. Don't engage with that energy, you don't owe them a response or an explanation.
