After a concertgoer in Detroit held up a sign asking if they should text a potential romantic partner , the former One Direction member went viral for his  Notebook -esque response. “I have a question: Is he nice to you?” the England native asked during the September tour stop. “In my opinion, if you should [text him], this isn’t even a question.” Styles continued, “If you’re wondering, ‘Are we’re playing games?
