People also ask

Does ttm mean they like me?
Not necessarily. It just means they want to talk to you. Whether they 'like' you depends entirely on the context and your relationship.
Is ttm a good or bad sign?
It's neutral. It's just an invitation to talk. The 'good' or 'bad' comes from what they want to talk about and your feelings about it.
Should I ask them what ttm means?
No, just respond as if you know. It's a common acronym, and asking can make you seem out of touch or overthinker, which you're not.
