What does a black heart mean from a guy?

12/15/24 4:11pm

Guy sent me a black heart recently in response to something I said and I'm not sure I've seen it before. I'm so used to getting a red or pink hearts, so this is brand new to me. Does the black heart mean something different completely?

I'd go ahead and ask him. Something as simple and straightforward as "Hey! It's cool that you use black hearts, I've never seen anyone do that before. Is there a story behind it?" and then he can tell you why he uses black hearts and what they mean.

Certainly depends on the context of the conversation and who he is as a person. A black heart emoji could just mean he likes you and he chose that color because it's what he likes best. He probably chose it because he wants to stand out from all the other people sending red and pink hearts.

I know some people send a black heart emoji when they're feeling sad or down in the dumps, and the color represents their emotions. But again, you gotta look at what he said beforehand and base the meaning off of that.

Were you maybe talking about something that was a little heavier or deeper than the stuff you usually talk about? Him using a black heart could be his way of recognizing that what you're talking about is somber. It's hard to say though. I wouldn't read too much into it or overthink it though.
