From a Guy — From a guy stranger
What does 🧑🦯 mean from a guy you don't know?
If a guy you don't know sends this, it's often a reaction to something *you* posted or said that he considers oblivious or a 'missed opportunity.' It could be a slightly condescending jab if you're in a public forum, or a weird attempt to engage in DMs by pointing out something he thinks you 'missed.' High potential for ick if not in a clear, shared context.
Also from from a guy
From your crush
If he sends this to you when you're crushing, it's probably him admitting he was 'blind' to something, either a hint *you* dropped or a situation he misread. It's a casual, self-aware way to say 'oops, I didn't catch that,' potentially opening the door for you to clarify or be more direct. He might be trying to be cute by admitting his cluelessness, or playfully calling out *your* subtlety.
