“Hey” is not a conversation starter. It’s the equivalent of throwing a paper ball across the room and hoping someone picks it up. But with the right comeback, you can turn even the laziest opener into a game.
When he says “hey,” you don’t reward him with effort, you flip it back with playfulness.
-
“Wow, did you rehearse that all day?”
-
“That’s it? No roses, no poems, just hey?”
-
“Hey? Groundbreaking.”
A good comeback isn’t about being mean, it’s about showing wit. You’re raising the bar, making them chase, and setting the tone: if they want your attention, they’re going to have to earn it.
