Frinend introduced me to a new way of saying how are you, was wondering if there is a matching response possibly using verb andar? ando bien or something similar

Estoy bien, ando bien, bien ---they are all good responses.

¿Cómo andas? Literally means: How is it going?

I've never heard that greeting before, but I guess you could say "Estoy andando bien."

Sorry Rex --- estoy and andando together are no good. - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009
?como andas? is the same as How is it going? - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009
¿qué tal andes? es la pregunta - aloshek, Nov 10, 2009
sorry, that should be andas - aloshek, Nov 10, 2009
Is ¿como andas? acceptible, too? - aloshek, Nov 10, 2009
¿Qué tal estas? I’ve never heard ¿Qué tal andas? - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009

I guess you are kidding. Those would be answers to "¿en qué andas?" - 00e657d4, Nov 10, 2009
La verdad, era en seria mi pregunta. Gracias. - 00515f39, Nov 10, 2009
jejejej Fran, Yo ando con los pies --- There's a funny answer to that question. --- When somebody asks you ?Como andas? ---answer--- Con los pies. - 0068e2f4, Nov 10, 2009

I've never heard that greeting before, but I guess you could say "Estoy andando bien."

It's quite usual in Argentina, and I believe also in other countries. Like any form of greeting, you can answer it just saying "muy bien", "ando bien, gracias", "más o menos" (so so), etc, etc, etc.
