Reflecting on the words "hey there" I first think of when I was younger and some spoke to me not knowing my name or perhaps they were flirting. Today I hear those same words "Hey There" as if There was my first name LOL but I then remember that man is no longer a boy that is saying Hey you over there Lady can I get some of your attention. I guess it is better say "hey" back since I am single and welcome the flintiness.
