When you ask someone "How are you?", do you really care how they are?

I don't really actually care how they are, but it's a way to start a conversation if you wanna talk to them.

I only ask if I care. I don't see the logic behind asking then zoning out. It wastes everyones time.

Not really, just being polite. If I new that a person was sick or something then yes I would care.

Most of the time, no I don't care, it's just polite to ask.

:P

No wayy..I dont really care I just start a conversation that way...always works =PP

LOL I always wonder this...

I don't even ask this question because I think it's stupid. Hardly anyone is going to be honest when they answer this question soo I don't ask.

I could have sworn i asked this before!

Thats why i tell the check out chicks at coles im suicidal...they never listen

No...I dont care..I just try to say something, so the conversation starts.

You just say it to be polite , but i guess i care ??

good question :P

When it's my dearest best friend, I ask because I want to know if she's alright.
