From a Girl — From a girl stranger
What does 😝 mean from a girl you don't know?
If a stranger DMs you this, especially unprompted, it's a bit of an 'ick' moment. It feels too familiar, too fast, and like they're trying to force a quirky connection. Unless it's in response to something *you* posted that was overtly silly, it's often a red flag for someone trying too hard to be 'relatable' or 'not like other guys/girls.'
