Flirty Responses to How Was Your Day

How to Tell if Your Flirting Is Working

Flirting is fun and almost always well received when done correctly – even if the other person isn’t interested in you.

Everyone (most people) feel flattered when someone flirts and shows an interest in them. There is a line, of course, that you don’t want to cross if someone is not interested.

So, how do you tell if the person you’re flirting with is interested in you and willing to take things further?

Generally speaking, there are a few ways you can tell if someone is enjoying your flirting and even flirting back, these are:

They blush or get flustered – When you make a flirty comment, if the other person stumbles a bit, blushes, etc, it means they’re flattered and even a little embarrassed.

People only feel this way when they care. If you see the other person getting flustered, it’s a strong sign that they’re enjoying your flirting!

They make physical contact – Physical contact is not something that happens by accident, and not unless someone is very comfortable with you.

If the person you’re flirting with leans in and touches you, just something like on the arm, they’re flirting back.

They show a personal interest – Asking how someone’s day was is just polite, for the most part, so don’t take that as a sign someone is interested in you.

If something you say piques their interest and they ask more personal questions about you, however, that’s a sign they’re interested in getting to know you better.

Things like asking specifically what you’ve been doing, what plans you have for the evening, what kind of stuff you’re into, etc.

Wrapping Up

Flirting isn’t easy, and the more excited and anxious you feel the better, as it’s a sign that you care about the person you’re talking with.

Using “how was your day” is a great way to flirt with someone. They’ve already opened up the conversation and are showing an interest in how you’re feeling.

It’s up to you to read the situation, so pay attention to how the other person is responding.

Pick a flirty route that’s being well received, make eye contact, try and put on a confident front, and see where it leads – good luck!

25 of the Best Responses to “How Was You Weekend”

Posted on Published: January 25, 2021

Every now and again, your colleagues or managers will approach you with small talk as a way of being polite or to pass the sometimes-daunting hours at work.

So, they’ll ask questions like how was your weekend to get a conversation going.

Only you know how your weekend was, but we’ve compiled a list of responses to how was your weekend so it can be easier to come up with one, especially for the introverts among us.

Here are 25 of the top responses to how was your weekend to describe your time:

10 responses to “how was your weekend?” when you just stayed at home and did nothing special

Some weekends, it’s understandable to want to just stay home and have time to yourself.

After all, the hustle and bustle of the work week is draining sometimes, so people need to take time to recharge in preparation for another week of work.

Saying “nothing” or giving an answer that seemingly brushes off the person who asked can be taken offensively and can jeopardize your working relationship when the conversation turns awkward.

So, here are examples of what you can say when you are asked “how was your weekend?” when you spent it at home:

01 “I bet it wasn’t as interesting as yours! I caught up on my favorite series and did a bit of cleaning, so pretty uneventful.”

This is a good response if you’re someone who takes the weekend to binge-watch your favorite shows and just laze about in bed.

02 “I just stayed at home this weekend. I was feeling a bit under the weather.”

This is a good response if you are someone who is known for going out on the weekends.

This says you took it easy this week and provides an optional reason for doing so.

03 “It was good. I got some much-needed sleep and I’m ready to tackle this week!”

It is a good idea to use this response with a new boss or your manager. It shows that you are enthusiastic about your job.

04 “It’s been so busy around here lately I decided to take this weekend to unwind, you know?”

Use this response with a co-worker or colleague with a similar workload who will understand exactly what you mean.

It’s a way of relating to and building a stronger relationship with your co-worker.

05 “I finally got myself some overdue beauty sleep and cheated on my diet! I deserved it after closing that big deal.”

This is a good response when something good happened at work worth celebrating and a co-worker is curious about how you spent the weekend.

06 “It was okay. I had some weird dreams, but that’s about it.”

Dreams in this sentence can be substituted with any regular or uneventful activity that happened, but the point is that this response says nothing out of the ordinary happened.

07 “Same old, nothing special, you?”

Use this response when you aren’t in the mood to talk about your boring weekend but wouldn’t mind listening to your colleague talk about his/her weekend.

08 “It was nice and peaceful. My wife/husband and the kids were away for the weekend, so I had a lot of time to myself.”

This is a good response when you just spent the weekend in your own company, not doing anything special.

09 “Watched the game, did some chores, and took it pretty easy. How about you?”

Again, you can substitute the game for another event, such as a series finale or premiere.

It is a good response that gives enough detail to show the other person you are interested in the conversation.

How to respond to “How was your weekend?”

Weekends are a terrific topic for small talk. Americans may ask you about your weekend plans starting from Thursday – even as early as Wednesday.

Maybe you’ve already heard questions like “What are you doing this weekend?”, “What do you have going on this weekend?”, or “Do you have any big plans for the weekend?”,

And when you return to work or school on Monday, what is the most common question you’ll hear?
“How was your weekend?”

Weekends are a great subject for making small talk. Especially if you did something fun over the weekend and want to share.

However, if you didn’t do anything special over the weekend, this question may make you feel like you don’t have anything to say, like you’re going to kill the conversation.

Don’t worry – I feel you. In this episode, you’ll learn some responses for when people ask, “How was your weekend?” when you actually did something.

In the second half of the episode, you’ll learn how to respond in a friendly way – without killing the conversation – even if you didn’t do anything at all over the weekend.

The Upcoming Weekend

When Wednesday rolls around, your colleagues may ask, “Do you have any plans this weekend?”, or a similar question.

A good format is to respond with: 1). What you’re going to do. 2). “Because…”

Your plans may be anything from seeing a movie, going out of town, or even reading a new book. For example, you could say:

“Yes, I’m gonna go see the new Star Trek movie….”
And then describe the activity with “because…”

“Yes, I’m gonna go see the new Star Trek movie because I’m a big fan.”

Here’s another example:
“Do you have any plans this weekend?”
“Yes, I’m going to bake a cake because it’s my best friend’s birthday. She loves chocolate and I thought it’d be a nice surprise!”

How was your Weekend? (You did stuff!)

It’s Monday morning and you can expect about 5 people at work to all ask you: “What did you do over the weekend?” or “Did you have a good weekend?” or “How was your weekend?”

It’s okay, you’re feeling pretty good about this question today because you did stuff over the weekend. Maybe you went on a trip, did a wine-tasting, or worked on your English!

Again, it’s best to respond with an activity you did over the weekend and something about it.

This could be a reason why you did the activity or whether you enjoyed it.

“How was your weekend?”
“It was good! I saw the new Star Trek movie. I dressed up as my favorite character and everything! But the movie itself wasn’t very good and I feel asleep. And I don’t think I was the only one!”

“It was great! I went shopping with my sister and I picked up a new dress. It fits like a glove.”
(“Fits like a glove” is an expression that means fits very well.”)

Or if you want to be a bit funny:
“I took a flight to London Friday evening and had dinner with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Yes, I saw their baby and he’s even cuter in person. They offered to fly me to Pamplona for the running of the bulls. Unfortunately, I had to decline their invitation because I had already committed to the opera with Ryan Reynolds. Anyway, how was your weekend?”

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter what you say in response. The important thing is to make an effort to participate in the conversation in English. It shows that you “play the game” of small talk. This is important if you want to give a positive impression of yourself.

How was your weekend? (You did nothing…)

Uh oh, it’s Monday morning and…does it seem like twice as many people are asking you “How was your weekend?”

Yes, you’re sure at least 10 people have asked you… but you didn’t do anything over the weekend. You feel like a lazy, boring, person.

Don’t worry – you’re still your charming self! You can still respond in a friendly way even though you didn’t do anything over the weekend.

But first – here’s a tip: it’s best not to respond with: “I just stayed home.” “I didn’t do anything” or simply, “Nothing,” and give no additional details. *Awkward silence*

In fact, this is one of the biggest mistakes I see students make when I ask them “How was your weekend?” They say “Oh, I didn’t do anything”, and then stop talking, so it seems like they don’t want to talk to me!

If you’d like to engage in friendly small talk, we’ll need a more personable response. The key here is to show enthusiasm when making small talk, even if you didn’t do anything special.

Let’s learn some terrific responses so you can respond in a fun way, even if you didn’t have any fun over the weekend.

Me-time and beauty sleep

Let’s say all you did over the weekend was hang around in your pajamas and sleep. What might sound boring to you may sound like a dream to someone else.

“How was your weekend?
“It was good! I stayed home and caught up on sleep. I’ve been so busy lately, so it was good to finally have some me-time and get my beauty sleep.”

As you may have guessed, “me-time” is time for me! Or for you rather. It’s basically time for yourself, to rest, relax, and refresh your energy.

“Beauty sleep” means restful sleep that may give a more youthful appearance. Sounds like something worth doing over the weekend, don’t you agree?

I cleaned my apartment

Maybe you cleaned all weekend. Well that isn’t nothing – it’s something!

Again, other people may wish they had that luxury to have the time to clean their house all weekend, instead of letting everything pile up because they don’t have time to clean..

“How was your weekend?”
“It was okay. I cleaned my apartment from top to bottom. I’ve been traveling for work and haven’t had time to keep it tidy.”

I had a strange dream…

Even though you didn’t do anything over the weekend, perhaps you had an interesting dream?

You could say, “My weekend was okay. I didn’t do much, but I had a strange dream. I dreamt that I was chimpanzee on a rollercoaster! What about you, do you remember your dreams?”

Are you seeing a pattern here? Small talk doesn’t have to be super intelligent or philosophical.

Friendly conversation can be made about anything – even a strange dream.

And if you’re afraid to ask questions because you’re not sure that you will understand what your colleague says in return, be sure to improve your comprehension skills for fast-spoken English!

To recap, if you feel like you didn’t do anything over the weekend and still want to have a friendly conversation, don’t despair!

As long as you’re enthusiastic and provide a detail or two, you can still participate in small talk.

And remember – what may seem boring to you – such as sleeping or cleaning – could be a dream come true for your colleague. So feel free to share!

«Good, thanks!»

«How’s your day» means «How is your day going»

“How’s your day?” Is a way asking how your day is going. Americans tend to ask this as a greeting.

Appropriate response: “Good, thanks, yours?”

When someone asks about your day, it is commonly polite to return the question.

65+ Funny Responses to Everyday Questions!

Looking for funny responses to everyday questions? I don’t blame you, I’ve had it up to my neck with annoying, repetitive, shallow everyday questions – and I often respond with something funny, silly, or sarcastic to make it known.

There is nothing wrong with responding with a funny or witty remark if you’re getting annoyed with repetitive questions.

If someone is going to ask you the same old everyday questions, I don’t think I’m being unreasonable when I say they’re probably just going through the motions and not really interested in your answer.

Firing back with something a little funny or witty will make them take notice!

Here are some funny, witty, snarky, smart, and sarcastic responses to some of those annoying everyday questions it’s hard to avoid:

Some Funny Responses to Everyday Questions

I couldn’t possibly cover all of the annoying everyday questions that are probably chipping away at you, but here are some of the most popular:

Funny Responses to ”What’s Up?”

Funny Responses to ”What Are You Doing?”

Funny Responses to ”How Are You?”

Funny Responses to ”How Was Your Day?”

Funny Responses to ”Have a Good Day”

Why Give a Funny Response to an Everyday Question?

Everyone has a different sense of humor. Some people are going to find your witty responses funny, and some people aren’t.

Is this your problem?

No, not really. But it does help if you ‘know your audience’ when responding to someone. You’re not going to use the same response to your dad as you would your best friend, right?

I guess what I’m trying to say is, pick your response carefully based on who you’re talking to.

But if you’re getting fed up with always being asked the same questions, you shouldn’t feel bad about giving a funny or witty reply.

Otherwise, how are people going to get the message that you don’t want to keep answering the same questions with the same half-hearted answers?

On the plus side, a little humor injected into someone’s day can have a positive impact on their otherwise average day!

Good luck – feel free to drop me a comment below if you have any funny responses I should add to the list, and do let me know if you get any memorable responses back.
