A: yo
B: yeah
A: when you say hi to a girl and she responds “hey you” what do you think that means?
B: in what con­text?
on aim?
in real life?
do you know her?
A: hmm tex­ting
B: just hol­lar­ing?
A: i do
like we talked for a bit
B: play­ful
but non com­mit­tal
A: and recently
say­ing that do you think it’s play­ful?
B: casual
A: i feel it’s more dis­tant
B: depends on the girl
like she’s not being for­mal
so maybe shows a level of com­fort
or it could be dis­tant
A: ahaha
B: but depends on your feel­ing
A: but going from “hey” to “hey you” seems weird no?
B: going from hi to hey you
or hey to hey you
cause hey to hey you seems nat­ural
A: but why add the “you”?
i mean obvi­ously the hey is directed at me
im try­ing to decide if it’s a flirty response or a keep my dis­tance response
B: flirty
A: really?
B: yeah
i think so
A: would you respond to a girl with “hey you”?
B: yeah
i have before
it’s casual, play­ful
A: it’s an odd response
i’ve never had a girl really say that
haha
B: i don’t think so
i think it’s fairly com­mon
A: haha damn i need to get out more
B: yeah you do

So I’ve been MIA for awhile. But it’s been for a good rea­son. I had a girl­friend and she was tak­ing up most of my time. But now I’ve been cured of that. She broke up with me the other night. Below is a list of things peo­ple have told me to try and help me get over it. Some are bet­ter than others…

i can say you’ll every­thing will be ok. but what ever i say isn’t going to make you feel bet­ter. it’s just gonna have to take time to get over it. — PT

OMG. DONT BE SO GAY. — LC

and how does this make you feel? — JC

that sucks man — YK

so you’re gonna be sin­gle this week­end then. nice. — JS

maybe the story isn’t fin­ished. let her go. and she will real­ize that u were the best. and u should try to move on too. and in the guture when she real­izes that u are the best. she will come back — JL
