The question “How are you” reflects that the asker is considerate about you. Many people even use similar phrases to start a conversation for selfish reasons, like to extract some information. In this article, we are considering that the people asking or messaging you such phrases are your friends, crushers, or at least well-wishers at the workplace.

To them, a sincere and straightforward answer rarely requires any second thought. But when it comes to giving a smart answer, especially at the workplace and in the flirting scenario, then you may need some creativity. In this post, we are going to give you exactly that assistance. But before diving into them, let us discuss things to keep in mind when asked “How are you?”

What you should keep in mind before giving such a reply?

The reply for such phrases depends on the scenario and the sender. Do you want to give an honest reply that leads to only a short conversation or want to say something different that may lead to interesting topics to chat about?

Imagine being at the workplace and somebody asks you that phrase after you had your fight with a colleague. You may not want to give an explicit reply but rather a toned-down but funny response that expresses the feeling that your mind is going through.

Flirty replies are not recommended to be used at the workplace but funny responses can be used by choosing the right words which can reveal your honest feelings without going too much into the detail.
