Could that mean something necessarily?

Girl messaged we are a team but then put hug in parentheses after that. Could that mean something?

Hmmm it's hard to say for sure dude, but putting the hug in parentheses after saying you're a team could possibly mean something.

A few thoughts:
- Girls don't usually put hugs in texts with guys they're just friends with. They save that for guys they're flirty with.

- Calling you her "team" makes it seem like you're special to her, not just another friend. Like you're together in this.

- The hug shows she's thinking about being physically close with you in a caring way. Girls don't normally hug guy friends without other feelings there.

- Putting it in parentheses is also kind of coy, like she's throwing it out there but making it easy to play off as a joke if you're not into it. Kind of testing the waters.

If I were you man, I'd take it as a sign she's interested and wants you to make a move! Text back something flirty like "I think we make a great team ;)" and see how she responds. Give her a little confidence boost. You might find out she wants more with you too bro!

She may have added the “hug” emoji to soften the impact of her statement or to show that she is still friendly and supportive, even though she is no longer interested in dating you.

I never asked her out though. Haven’t shown any interest in her.
