We all enjoy receiving well wishes for a great day ahead. But how do you respond when those good day greetings come from someone you’re crushing on? The usual “thanks, you too” seems so bland. You want your response to be meaningful, maybe even a bit flirty.
In this post, we’ll explore 49 fun, and some flirtatious ways to respond when your crush or romantic interest wishes you a good day. Let’s start:
49 Response To Have A Good Day
1. I Have Other Plans (Then Smile Wickedly)
They want you to have a great day. But you are naughty and bad at doing what you’re told. Why shouldn’t you have a bad day? If it annoys them, one bad day will be worth it.
Obviously, this option is a joke. Let them know you appreciate their kind words, but you have your own plans for the day, wicked or not.
2. Thanks, You Too
This quick, easy response gets right to the point. You’re happy they wished you a good day, and you genuinely want the same for them. Short, sweet, and meaningful.
3. Oh, I Plan On It!
It’s nice they wished for your day to go well. But you already have an amazing day mapped out, with or without their well-wishes. Let them know their kind thoughts are bolstering an already great plan.
4. No, I Don’t Want To
Playfully remind them there’s no law saying every day must be great. If you feel like being a bit grumpy, embrace it! One less-than-stellar day builds character.
5. Likewise
Simple and classy. This one-word response tells them you hope their day goes just as well. Short but sincere.
6. Same To You
Similar to “likewise” but a little more conversational. You wish the same great day back onto them that they wished for you. Mutual good will.
7. You Have A Great Day Too
It’s not enough that your day goes well – you hope theirs does too! A rising tide lifts all boats, so you wish them an equally great day.
8. I’ll Enjoy What’s Left Of It
If someone says “have a great day” late in the day, this playful response lets them know they missed the window for a full great day, but you’ll make the most of the time left.
9. Not Sure About Great. But I’ll Certainly Have An Okay Day
Perfection isn’t realistic. Setting the bar at “okay” is good enough – as long as nothing goes terribly wrong, you’ve met your daily goal. Under promise and over deliver!
10. And Why Would I Want To Do That?
Playfully challenge their assumption you want a great day. Does their vision for a “great day” match yours? Teasingly dig into what makes a day great in their mind.
11. I Already Did
If they wish you a great day late in the day, assure them you’re way ahead of them – you already had a fantastic day, thanks to their well-wishes coming retroactively true.
12. Take It Easy
This response is for the hard workers who don’t know how to quit. Kindly remind them to relax – they’ve earned a break. A great day for them might just mean putting their feet up.
13. Take It Sleazy
Put a humorous spin on “take it easy” by responding “take it sleazy” – a reference to the TV show The Good Place. It’s goofy but charming.
14. Have A Great Life
If you don’t know this person well or likely won’t see them again, go big picture. Wish them a lifetime of happiness and good days instead of just one.
15. Don’t Work Too Hard
For the chronically overworked, remind them gently that relaxing is important. They don’t need to prove their worth through nonstop grinding. A great day could just mean catching their breath.
16. It Was Already Great When I Woke Up To You
Let your significant other know that waking up next to them is the only ingredient you need for a great day. Starting your morning together trumps everything else.
17. I Always Do
Assure them you seize each and every day to the fullest. A great day isn’t just probable, but a guarantee thanks to your positive mindset and lust for life.
18. Right Back At You
Like a boomerang, you’re returning their good wishes right back in their direction. Whatever kindness they offer, you redirect it onto them.
19. Not Sure How. But I’ll Try.
It’s easier said than done to force a great day, but you’ll give it your best shot. Even if you’re unsure of how to guarantee a good day, you’ll put in a solid effort.
20. I Might Do. I Might Not Do. We’ll See
Play it noncommittal – you make no promises about the quality of your day. You’ll let the day unfold and see where it takes you. No expectations.
21. Let’s Hope The Universe Wishes The Same
They might want your day to go well, but the universe ultimately decides. Control what you can control, leave the rest up to the cosmic forces that be.
22. Be Careful What You Wish For
Teasingly point out that if you had a “great” day by your standards, it could be disastrous by theirs! Define great carefully when wishing it upon others.
23. Well, I’m Working. So That’s Easier Said Than Done
If you have a bad job, it’s hard to have a great day fully engrossed in it. You appreciate their optimism, but work will prevent a truly great day.
24. I’ll Have My Coffee First
A great day is simply impossible without some caffeine to start. Slow down their expectations – you can’t promise a great day until sufficiently caffeinated!
25. Not In This Economy I Won’t
In trying times, keeping expectations reasonable is key. When merely getting by is hard, “great days” aren’t realistic. But you can still make the most of it!
26. If It’s An Okay Day, I’ll Consider It A Success
When times are tough, an average day where nothing awful happens still counts as a win. Adjust definitions of success to match the circumstances.
27. I Hope You Have An Even Better Than Great Day
One up their well wishes for you and pay it forward. Wish them a day that exceeds all expectations and definitions of greatness!
28. Do You Mean Great As In Good Or Great As In Big?
Play with the two meanings of great – excellent vs enormous. Does their idea of a great day mean fantastic quality or just big and extreme? Get them to clarify.
29. You Too, King
“King” is a term of endearment used by some men when addressing each other. Wish royalty upon your bro as well!
30. Meh, I’m Calling Today a Dud. I’ll Try Again Tomorrow.
Sometimes you just know a day isn’t going to meet any definition of great. On truly crappy days, openly acknowledge it’s a bust and look ahead to tomorrow.
31. I’m Sure It’ll Be, Especially If I Get To Spend It With You
Let them know that spending time together is what will really make your day great, above all else. Time together trumps all other factors.
32. Awww, You’re The Sweetest!
Gush over how thoughtful it was for them to wish you a nice day. Compliment the kindness behind their words.
33. You Make My Day
Directly credit them as being the force that makes your days great already, just by being in your life. Skip wishing for a great day and declare they already make your days wonderful just by existing.
34. Same To You, Can’t Wait To Hear Your Voice Later.
Tell them you’re looking forward to a future call where you’ll be able to hear their voice again. End on an optimistic note looking ahead.
35. My Day Is Already a Million Times Better After Hearing From You
Hearing from them at all immediately improved your day dramatically. Even a brief message made your day exponentially better.
36. It Could Always Be Better If You Came Over
Boldly proclaim the day could reach even greater heights if they came over to hang out later. Suggest kicking the day up another notch by spending time together.
37. Thanks! How Was Your Day So Far?
Express thanks for their kind words and turn the conversation to them. Show interest in hearing how their day is unfolding so far as well.
38. Thanks. Can’t Wait To See You Though.
Gratefully accept their well wishes, but admit what you’re really excited for is an opportunity to see them again soon.
39. My Day Can Only Get Better Now That We’re Talking
Any chance to talk is guaranteed to improve your day. Hearing their voice lifts your spirits instantly.
40. I’m Thinking Of You and It’s Already a Great Day
Just having them on your mind is enough to elevate your day to great status. Simply pondering them brightens your day.
41. It’s Time To Make The Most Of It With You
Seize the day! Suggest maximizing the awesomeness of the day ahead by spending time together and creating great memories.
42. It’s Gonna Be a Good Day, No Matter What
Express your underlying optimism and positivity about the coming day. Whether you see them or not, you’re determined to make it great.
43. I’m Looking Forward To Making It Better With You
You already expect a pretty good day, but spending time together possesses the power to amplify it to spectacular heights.
44. Let’s Make Some Amazing Memories Together
Propose transforming a mundane good day into an extraordinary one full of fun times, laughter, and bonding. Make the offer!
45. That Would Make My Day If We Could Spend It Together
Directly tell them exactly what would catapult your day into fantastic status – getting to spend it with them! Lay out explicitly what you want.
46. Thanks! The Rest Of My Day Would Be a Lot Better With You In It
Thank them for the kind thoughts and directly declare you want them to be a part of the remainder of your day to maximize enjoyment.
47. I’m Already Looking Forward To How The Day Will End
You anticipate the day finishing strong, hinting at spending the evening together. End with a flirtatious undertone.
48. That Would Be Great, Let’s Make Plans For Later
Agree that spending time together would be fantastic, and suggest concretely planning to make it happen later in the day.
49. It’d Be Even Better If You Were Here With Me
Nothing enhances a day more than their presence. Admit the day would reach its full potential greatness if they could physically be with you.
Tips for Crafting the Perfect Flirty Response
When someone you’re crushing on wishes you a nice day, how you respond can really set the tone. Here are some top tips for crafting the perfect flirty, feel-good reply:
Compliment them. Return the kind words by pointing out something you find attractive about them – their smile, style, humor, etc.
Be confident. Respond without hesitation or second-guessing yourself. Confidence and decisiveness are appealing.
Suggest hanging out. If it feels natural, casually recommend grabbing coffee or seeing a movie together sometime.
Keep it light. Don’t get too heavy or make grand overt romantic gestures this early. Keep things breezy and fun.
Ask questions. Prompt further conversation by asking how their day is going so far or what they have planned.
Look to the future. Express optimism about spending more time together or speaking again soon.
Give thoughtful compliments. Go beyond platitudes and compliment something unique you appreciate about them.
Crack a joke. If it fits your relationship, throw in some light-hearted humor or a funny meme.
Flatter their kindness. Gush about how their gesture to wish you a nice day was so considerate.
Turn the focus to them. Instead of just saying thanks, ask how they’re doing and shift the convo to their day.
FAQs
Should I always give a flirty response when wished a good day?
Use good judgment based on your existing dynamic. If you hardly know them, a simple “you too!” may be better than a bold pickup line.
What if I’m not much of a flirt?
That’s ok! You can respond politely with a “thank you” until you get to know them better and feel more comfortable injecting flirtation.
How can I come up with original responses?
Observe their personality and think about what puts a smile on their face. Craft your responses around things you know they’d appreciate hearing.
Should I respond immediately or play it cool and wait?
Depends on your texting dynamic. If you frequently have long text convos, quick responses are normal. If texts are infrequent, consider waiting a bit.
What makes a good morning text flirty?
Flirty good morning texts create deeper connections and excitement. Make your morning message personal with nicknames like “good morning babe” or compliments like “good morning sunshine”. Be playful by suggesting plans to spend the day together. Ask questions about their plans to keep conversation flowing. Add flirty emojis or say you’re excited to talk to them. Flirty texts show special interest beyond a generic “good morning”. Tailor your message and use your own words to make it meaningful.
Final Thoughts
Exchanging well wishes for a great day ahead is common courtesy. But when that good will comes from someone special, it presents the perfect opportunity to respond in a way that conveys your interest.
Next time your crush or romantic interest wishes you a nice day, hopefully the creative flirty responses above will help you to say something sweet, funny, thoughtful or playful to make their day in return.
