A late night chat — Deciphering “Hey You”
by kwongfucius on Jun.15, 2009, under Advice
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
…i’m going to remove your name and post this on fb
[…yes, guys really do have conversations like this]
