    You said "Hey, what's up?"

    What were you expecting in return? War and Peace?

    If you like him, tell him you like him. Don't expect him to be a mind reader.

    He was saying hello. In some regions "Hey" is used as a greeting or a response to a greeting.

    Men are a mystery! He probably is busy, i hope. Or trying to tell you he is not really interested...he would have more enthousiast otherwise. Give him some space, let him come to you instead :)

    If you are a girl, it could mean a lot. But if you are a guy, you understand that the guy is drowsy but has still been courteous enough to send you his last message of the day.

    Maybe he just doesn't have good communication skills.

    It could be he's not a big talker or he's in the middle of 6 other online conversations.

    Don't be discouraged by this alone. "What's Up" is pretty casual. "What are you doing?" or "What are your plans for the day/weekend?" is much more likely to get a real response.

    He's probably like you, doesn't know what to say, and you didn't give him anything to work with. You girls expect a huge novel from a guy if he sends you the first message, but don't think you have to do the same, atleast say something to spark some conversation, we aren't gods.

    That could just be his way of responding; some guys aren't big on texting, and if he's preoccupied with something else, he's not going to get into a big conversation then and there. Perhaps he likes you and wants you to make the first big move. And maybe he's cute, but doesn't have much substance in other regards. But assuming that isn't the case, the ball is in his court to get back to you at some point. You made the initial contact with him; if he's interested, he'll respond back later with something more than just 'hey'. And some guys are a little clueless about communicating with women, so if he responds, give him a chance to prove himself.

    What you said could just be a greeting, he's just acknowledging you. If you want him to answer just say "so, what's up?".
