   A plain old “hi” is usually just a friendly, casual greeting. “Hi” over text generally means the same thing as saying “hi” to someone in person. This is the sender’s way of starting up a conversation.

   • The tone of a simple “hi” message may change if an emoji follows it. For instance, a 😉 can suggest a flirtatious convo, while a 🙂 is universally friendly.

   A “hii” could be a typo. If you receive this text from someone, don’t read into it too much. The sender could’ve accidentally hit the i too many times before hitting send. It happens, so just roll with the conversation as you normally would.

3. 3

   A “hiii” means they totally like you. Generally speaking, the more i’s in the message, the more they’re into you. They’re drawing out their message to say, “Hey! I’m feeling flirty!”

   • If you get a “hiii” message, shoot your shot! Who knows? You may find yourself in a relationship.
