Also from from a guy
From your crush
If a guy you're crushing on sends this, he's likely teasing you for being 'salty' about something, or maybe he's admitting to being salty himself in a self-deprecating way. It's usually playful and shows he's comfortable enough to banter, but it's not typically a flirty emoji.
