“Hey there! How are you?” When a text like that lights up your phone screen, your response to it can mean more than you might think. In person, a question like that is generally considered little more than a standard greeting, one that doesn’t require more than a “I’m well, and you?” But over text, the context changes, and your answer needs a bit more thought before you text back. So, whether you want your response to be funny, flirty, sincere, professional, or you remain undecided, we’ll show you the best way to reply to a “How are you?” text.To shorten your writing you must use abbreviations. A list of abbreviations are: LOL-laughing out loud, U-you, OK-okay, R-are, Y-why. Here is an example of some of them being used in a sentence. "I saw U fall down yesterday, LOL, also R U OK?"
