Why do people IM you then not say anything. If you IM me, you better have something to say. Don't expect me to do all the talking.

I answer some of these IM's and they never say anything but "Hi." I think they have more than one conversation going on at the time and that just makes me ill.

Don't IM me if you don't plan to just talk to me.

How many other people have this problem?

I think they are checking out other pics while they are IM'ing and if someone comes up better, they close their window and try the next in line.

I have that problem too. conversing But mostly happens when IM crashes, which it does alot. Sometimes it's just a hit and run.

My problem is when some people IM me and I very nicely let them know that I am a little busy they still go on and on and then I have to cut them off and I hate doing that.

They are still there because I ask,"You still there?" They answer yes. THEN WHY DON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING!

I turn mine off occasionally, but sometimes I turn it back on unless someone wants to chat. I don't mind chatting with people, but just say something. You know.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate people that IM me. I will take the time to talk with anyone that IM's unless they are being disrespectful.

But it cannot be a one-sided conversation. If I IM somebody I have questions in mind that I want to ask to get to know them. I would expect that whoever IM's me would be the same way.

I have been having a problem lately with people that IM me then never say anything else. So to stimulate the conversation, I will ask a question. They will answer and say nothing else. That's what is so irritating. I can't be the one talking all the time, especially if I didn't even IM them.

When you IM somebody you want to talk with them and get to know them for whatever reasons....dating, friends, penpal, so on. So I just don't understand why people IM you in the first place if they have no intentions of talking with you. Just send an email and say "HI" if that is what you want to do. I'll usually respond to that too.

The men that IM me don't say anything. They just pull out their tiny hotdogs and start wrapping it in their buns. Quite shy they are in the conversation department, yet oh so verbal down below.....

No way! You must love that.laugh I get some perverted ones,but I haven't used the web cam yet, and really I'm afraid to. Remember the woman that posted and said that some man was exposing himself with the web cam and she was out of the room. While she was out, her small child came in and saw the man on the computer and asked her mother what the man was doing.doh

The chances of me cold instant messaging anyone is none.
I think that it is very intrusive and presumtious of me to Im someone without getting there approval first and I very rarely ask.
