What does it mean when a guy texts me this emoji 🤗 ?

[Anonymous]

I met a guy online, and we texted and talked on the phone for about a week He then got covid and I texted him periodically inquiring after his health. Today he told me he was getting better. When I texted "cool" he sent me the 🤗 emoji. What does this mean?

It means he likes you. No man would send that to a fellow man unironically
