What does 👴 mean from a guy you don't know?
This is a wild card. If it's a cold DM, it's probably either an awkward attempt at humor, or a passive-aggressive comment. If it's in a gaming context, it could be a slight insult to someone being slow. Either way, it’s not usually a positive opening gambit from a stranger.
Also from from a guy
From your crush
He's probably trying to be funny and relatable. Maybe you mentioned being tired, or you said something he considers 'old-school' in a cute way, and he's leaning into the banter. It's usually a low-key, playful flirt to show he's in on the joke, but if it feels like he's actually commenting on your age in a negative way, that's a hard pass.
