How do you start a text?

Hey

Rarely a greeting, just straight into what I want to say.

I only put a hello if it’s to my boss and I’m going to be late for work

Yo
Yo bitches if it's the group message with my sisters.
Hey 🐣 (chick emoji) for friends

Wasssssuppppp 😛

For a message to one of my close female friends I start with "Hi my lovely"

Fit like..
NE Scottish greeting.

Most people it's "Hi [name]" possibly with a ! in certain circumstances

to H, I just launch straight in (it's usually "leaving now" or "be a bit late"). Same with his mum if I'm letting her know we're nearly there, otherwise as above. S2 usually the same.

S1 I text less frequently and usually start it with Hi Sweetie

Hello

"I am taking the liberty of writing to you, trusting that my counsel on this particular subject will prove to be of some benefit to your endeavors" 😄

When you say text, do you meant WhatsApp? That's pretty much all I use now. With family and friends, just launch straight into what I want to say. It's usually a continuing conversation anyway. If a work colleague, slightly more formal. HI Annie - then the message.

Hi or hey

Hellooooo!

Is how I start WhatsApps (nobody I know uses texts) and some work emails depending on the recipients 😁

Hiya usually. Occasionally Hey or Hi.
