What does it mean when a guy says what's up to a girl?

Answer 1

Since the last time I've answered this question through experience, I've found that there is a deeper meaning in the simple two-word sentence: 'What's up'.

The phrase 'what's up' may be used when a guy is bored, has nothing else to say, or just wants to start a conversation since you're the only person with them and things are looking awkward. But this doesn't mean there's no meaning involved. They may be shy, and will blurt out 'what's up' to start a conversation, and especially if he walks up to her first, there is probably something going on. Unless they're just good friends.

I've personally used it as an excuse to start a conversation, so that it doesn't die and I don't look boring. You can often tell how outgoing and social a guy is, depending on they start conversations, or continue them, and is a good indicator to see how well two people will get along together.

"What's up Doc?" is a Bugs Bunny catch phrase. Guys who say, "What Up?" have been watching too many Cartoons.
