What does it mean when a guy says hit me up?
On its own it simply means contact me — it is an open invitation to message rather than a declaration of interest. Read it from context: hit me up sometime after a date is flirtatious, while hit me up if you need the file is purely practical.
What is the difference between hit me up and hit up?
Hit me up means contact me. Hit someone up, with a different object, means approach them to ask for something, as in I'll hit him up for a loan. Hit up a place means go there: we hit up three bars.
Is hit me up rude?
No, but it is casual. It is fine among friends, on social media and in relaxed work chat, and out of place in a formal email or a first message to a client.
