Treat ‘How are you?’ texts as a greeting
Although it’s a question, “How are you?” means something other than the literal words. It’s an idiom. So what does the phrase mean?
Mostly, it just means: “Hey.”
Over time, “How are you?” has turned into a phrase that starts a conversation.
Just the other day I passed an acquaintance in the gym and our entire conversation went:
“Hey, how are you?”
“Hey, what’s up?”
That was all we said. We didn’t even break stride. We just kept walking.
My point?
“How are you” is a greeting and part of simple chit-chat. It’s not about the words but about the intention behind it.
So don’t overthink your answer.
Holy Tip:
Have you never considered what your photos may be saying about you?
Then you’re missing out on high-quality matches.
After all, every photo has its own vibe. So you may look: nerdy, confident, sweet, masculine, and so on.
Give the wrong idea about yourself and you might be scaring off women that are your perfect type.

The worst reply to “How are you?”
We just found out that “How are you?” means something different than its words.
The stranger who tosses that question your way usually has little interest in knowing how you are.
This means that the worst response is…
Sharing your feelings.
If the person asking you how you are doesn’t know you, she could care less about how you feel.
She’s just being polite.
So when a stranger on Tinder asks you:
Never answer:
Or:
That’s a terrible reply.
After all, the goal behind a dating app is to create some kind of fun and flirty vibe.
And if you find that vibe, the next goal becomes meeting up in person.
So 9/10 texts that you send on a dating app, should help you reach one of those goals. Otherwise, you’re wasting each other’s time.
More importantly, boring replies kill attraction and get your matches to fall asleep because of you… not sleep with you.
That’s why you always want your texts to add value to the conversation.
You usually can’t go wrong with emotionally stimulating texts. Like the 10 replies from earlier.

So whenever you’re thinking of an answer to “How are you?”
Make sure that it has one of the following traits:
- Interesting.
- Unexpected.
- Flirty.
- Funny.
Does your answer have at least one of the above traits?
Your answer will highly likely trigger her emotions and might even arouse her over text.
When your reply to “How are you?” is meh
Sometimes your reply to “How are you?” will be lackluster.
Unless, of course, you’re using my lines.
In which case your answers will be dynamite!
But still… Sometimes they won’t get you an answer.
Why? Because as you may have already noticed, some of the above lines don’t really lead to a clear reply.
Take this example:
What can a girl on Tinder realistically answer here?
“Haha” is probably the best you can expect.
Does that mean the wine-line is bad?
No. It’s still unique and interesting enough to set you apart from the rest. And make her interested in you.
So if you don’t need to replace the line with something else, what should you do?
Add another text to lead the conversation down a different path.
Which could be anything.
The possibilities are seriously endless.
That’s why I made an article with over 70+ questions to ask your crush, and another article with 103 things to talk about on Tinder and Whatsapp.
Not in the mood to read? No problem.
