I was subtly flirting. When I said I had just moved to town, I was opening the door to possibilities. When I said I liked the song, I was hoping you'd ask me to dance. When I said I was getting a drink and offered you one, I was showing you I cared about you and was hoping you'd take the cue, which you did, and came with me. Then that would put us both together in the next experience of getting drinks together, etc...
When I ask my husband how was his day, I am just showing him I care, and somewhat do care how was his day.
When I ask less intimate friends how they are. I am just being polite, but do really want to hear how they are, as it is a conversation starter.
When I run into people and ask how they are, it is common to just say fine, because we are busy and it's just a quick social nicety.
