“What are you doing?” is such a simple question, but it’s easy to feel like a deer caught in headlights when it’s your crush that wants to know. Do you respond honestly? Do you make up something funny or cool? Why do they want to know? Whether you share exactly what you’re doing or not, it’s easy to still be yourself and have a great, flirty conversation. We’ve put together the best responses to “What are you doing?” to help you have fun with your crush over text (and maybe even secure that first date). So, what are you doing? Reading this article, that’s what!
Things You Should Know
- Get flirty by making jokes about how you’re not doing anything, using flirtatious emojis like the winky face, or telling the person you’re thinking about them.
- If you’re feeling bold and you’re certain they like you, reply with something like “I was just wondering when you were going to ask me out” to make a move.
- If you’re not close with the person or you’re unsure what they want, keep things polite and vague with phrases like “I’m not up to much, thanks! How are you?”
Steps
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat should I answer when someone (my crush) types "k" as an answer and I wasn't expecting that? How should I keep the chat going?
EggyolkCommunity AnswerDo not respond to “k”. That is desperate. Responding to “k” is pretty embarrassing. Sometimes you need to know when to end the conversation.
Tips
- Consider who’s asking you “What are you doing?” when you answer. You might want to be coy and flirty if it’s a crush, but weird and funny if it’s a close friend. It all depends on your relationship with the person.Thanks
- Share as much or as little about what you’re doing as you like. If you’d rather not tell someone exactly what you’re doing at that very moment, you have no obligation to.Thanks
- Remember, most people ask “What are you doing?” as a simple conversation starter. There’s no right or wrong answer, and maybe you could simply state what you're doing to keep the conversation going.Thanks
Warnings
- Make sure your partner or crush is comfortable with and consents to receive suggestive texts before sending one out of the blue. If they don’t enjoy it, it might end your chances of getting to know them better or eventually having a physical relationship.Thanks
