What does it mean if someone (of the same sex) sends you a red heart emoji? Is it because the person is shy and cannot express in words? How would you respond to it?
It depends. Some guys will jokingly do that with other guys just to express 'bro love' and it means they appreciate your friendship. It could also be a way of showing gay affection though so that's hard to interpret if you aren't sure how the other person feels. I'd probably respond with another flirty emoji to see if they expand on what they meant more. A straight guy would send something like 'lmao' back but someone meaning it affectionately would probably say something more about it. Something like this
I would say it is unusual for guys to send RED hearts to other guys. I think if I was a black heart, which can mean friendship, that would mean one thing, but a red one would have me curious. Girls tend to be more liberal with heart emojis of all colors so if this was a girl we were talking about I honestly couldn't say. But since this is a guy I think it could mean something. Maybe send him something back, mildly flirty, that way if he is flirting you'll know it and if he isn't he could clarify he was just kidding around and take it as a joke.
He will be talking to me and then he winks. It is as if he wants to wink because he is not saying something that could be followed with a wink. He has only ever sent me smiley face emojis in past and occasionally a wink emoji. And he does hold my gaze. It is just that I don't want to read too much into it and shrug it off.
I agree - I can't think of any reason for a straight guy to wink at another guy unless it's part of a really obvious joke or something.
I think you can safely assume this guy is into you. Congrats! The question is do you like him? Do you want o make a move? Because your chances are looking pretty good.
I agree. When I’m playing my straight role, I never wink at other guys. Probably wouldn’t go over well
So devil’s advocate with winking, one of my good guy friends winks at me and other guys all the time. He’s straight. He just doesn’t it because he’s messing around, I don’t ever think anything of it. It all depends on context and the relationship. If any of my guy friends winked at me, I wouldn’t think anything of it. If a random dude did that, I might? But context.
Thanks. I can understand about the wink. Colleagues also wink at times but there is a context. He does not wink all the time. sometimes.. It is like he wants to wink at me. Like I said he is not saying anything funny or something that can be followed by a wink. And it is so clumsy but he is getting better at it! It is the red heart emoji that set me thinking...
