What does ๐ mean from a guy you don't know?
From a stranger, this could be weird. If it's a networking context, it's a huge cringe, unless you're in a very niche, online-first industry. If it's a random DM, it's probably giving 'trying too hard to be relatable/cute' energy. Best to ignore unless you know them.

From your crush
From a crush, this is a bit of a mixed bag, but leans towards playful. He might be trying to show a softer, more 'relatable' side, perhaps hinting at a slight inconvenience or 'missing you' vibe in a way that's not overtly sappy. It could also be a clumsy attempt at flirting, trying to seem cute or get you to 'comfort' him. Still, always assume a layer of irony.
