In detail
During the day WYD is usually just small talk. Sent late in the evening, especially without much context, it often works like "u up?" and hints at interest in getting together.
As with most texting shorthand, tone depends on the relationship and the time stamp. If you are unsure, just ask what they have in mind.
In a sentence
- wyd this weekend? There's a food market on Saturday if you fancy it.
- A 'wyd' at 11pm from someone I barely know felt like more than a friendly question.
Common questions
Is WYD flirty?
It can be, but often it is not. In the afternoon it is usually a simple conversation starter. Late at night, especially from someone you have been intimate with, it is more likely to be an invitation.
