Is the hey scale real?

[Anonymous]

Is the “hey scale” a real thing? And if so how and when do girls learn about this?

I don't use the heyyyy thing when texting people whether I like them or not. For my friends I might use "hi friendo!" but if I like them I might use more emojis like this one 😊

... then again I use that for some friends too lmao. It's complicated.

lol nope… also hate when people send just ‘hey’ lol

[Asker]

Well it doesn’t relate to just saying hey. The hey can be followed by a longer message. It’s just about the first word sent in a message and how many letters are on the word which represents how enthusiastic she is to talk to you (it usually applies to female responses not to guys messages)

[septemberintherain]

Hm I personally don’t go by that rule, but maybe it’s a gen z thing or something!

I try not to write hey or hi.

If I do that I may ask hey there how are you 😂

Or what's going on.

It’s mainly referring to women’s texts to men

I think this really depends on the woman nothing is universal.

[Asker]

Definitely. Though I have noticed it with some women. A girl I’ve been talking to lately started out beginning her messages with “hey!” and I sent her a supportive message about something and she also broke up with her boyfriend and now her messages to me have “heyy” or “heyy!”

[Summeroflove]

Well if you like her asker just express it and
See if she wants to go out. If you don’t then you don’t have to and keep things as friendly as possible

[Asker]

Yes, we have plans to see each other for a date. I’m just surprised by how many people have never heard of this hey code. I’ve noticed it with lots of messages from women but I guess a lot of people here have never heard about this being a thing

[Summeroflove]

A lot of people are subtle because they’re nervous and feel awkward. But at the same time some people take things as flirting that’s not. Because to another girl she may communicate with everyone that way

[Nikki1989]

Typically, if someone I don't know or barely know sends the “hey” or “hi” message, I don't even reply. Why would I bother?

[Asker]

That’s not what the question was. I’m referring to the theory that women will text a different amount of y’s on the hey they send in a text message to reflect, in a subtle way, how interested they are in a guy and just hope that men also understand this secret code (most aren’t aware of it)

I've never done the hey one but I will say hi to mean nothing and hii to mean I could be interested in this particular moment.

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope
