I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with the majority here. When I high-five a girl, it's typically because I'm expressing a show of solidarity. Of course this doesn't really help answer your question because I typically don't do it randomly. Maybe what you thought was random really wasn't. Did he say anything before or after the high-five? Were you wearing a shirt with some quote, saying, or other depiction on it at the time? How well do you know said person? There really hasn't been enough information provided to make even an educated guess at this point. The one thing that you mention in other comments that IS useful is that this isn't typical behavior for him. This tells me two things: a) you are paying attention to him and the way he interacts with other women, and b) something must've happened that precipitated the desire to give you a high-five. Has this happened before, or again since? Is he shy? Sometimes shy guys will use any excuse to gain any physical interaction with a girl they fancy. Of all of this is nothing but meaningless speculation at this point. If nothing else, if he does it again, simply smile and ask him "what was that for?" The question is simple enough and the smile should be disarming enough that he feels comfortable answering honestly.
I'll be interested to hear what you find out! Good luck! *high five* ;)

Huh, I randomly High five and fist pump people all the time. I mean people I have no idea who they are. I do it just for fun when I'm with friends also it helps you to get over social anxieties.
But I have also done it in while I'm in a conversation with someone I thought was attractive. But I only do that during a conversation.
Hope that helps.
Yeah... I'm going to have to agree with the majority. There seems to be no deep meaning... he just high five-d you. Then again you're not really giving much back story here. Is he a guy you like/have been trying to pursue? If that's the case, he could be trying to friend zone you or trying to let you know that he is not too willing to go there with you. Other than that, I see no deep meaning here.
Its means you guys are just hangout buddies and that's it
It's just a buddy greeting a buddy. Like a fist pump

Oh come on now. Seriously? I’ve had coworkers high give me or greet me by the elbow bump since it’s covid time and we can’t shake hands. They are old and young. You’re reading into this too much. In my opinion, he’s just being friendly. A high five is definitely not a sign of flirting.
Absolutely NO meaning to that at all. you're overthinking
Nothing. Most of the time it means literally nothing.
It means he felt like slapping your hand in the highest degree.

There always have to be a reason. Where did this happen at? If it was at a sports contest there was a reason for it because the team won or scored and people High five strangers over that who ever is close by him or her.
It was probably nothing, do you like this particular guy?
In my experience I was just his friend, now if he starts hugging then maybe he wants more
A high five is a high five lol
It probably means he wants to have your babiesIt could mean he's just saying Hi or whatever, but if it transforms into hugs then he might be into you.
Means nothing, really. The same thing as giving high five to a guy.
Did you just score a touchdown? Did you just make a 3 pointer? Did you chug 3 beers back to back in under 45 seconds? If not then I have no clue unless you were both bowling.
It means he wanted to give you a high five and he did
He clearly wants you. Clearly...
I don't thing it has any meaning in it
I'd like to know this too.
Guys help us out!He means u should suck his dick.
That he was giving you a high 5... lol.
dudette! i think you're overthinking on this
Just sees you as a friend.
