From a Girl — From a girl friend
What does 🤷 mean from a girl friend?
Your bestie using this is probably saying 'relatable,' 'I'm so over this,' or 'girl, same.' It's a shorthand for shared exasperation about a common annoyance, or a funny way to admit they literally have no idea what's going on, but it's fine.

From your crush
This could mean a few things, so don't spiral *too* hard. It might be a cute, slightly helpless 'idk, what do *you* wanna do?' trying to pass the ball back to you for a decision, or it could be a soft dodge, signaling she's not fully engaged or wants to keep you guessing. Context is EVERYTHING, check the last five texts.

Is 🤷 flirty or friendly?▾
It's mostly friendly or neutrally indifferent. When it *is* flirty, it's usually very subtle, suggesting 'I'm open to anything' or 'surprise me,' passing the decision-making to the other person in a playful way. It's rarely overtly flirty; more often it's just a chill, casual vibe among friends.
