From a Guy — From your crush
What does 🐢 mean from a guy you like?
If he sends this to his crush, he's likely trying to seem chill, not pushy, and maybe a little self-deprecating about his own speed or shyness. It's a low-key way to signal comfort and a desire to take things at a relaxed pace, potentially a soft green flag for building connection without pressure.
