Instant Messaging....it is pretty awesome...I am not use to it at all...never have done it before...but there he was...someone I really felt an attraction for...distance around eight hundred miles away....He is the first person I have ever conversed with on an IM....may be the last....I didn't really care for it...in the fact that you cannot see expressions or hear expressions...and much can be left open to speculation if not worded just right....I really found that I like him very much in the two weeks we conversed...and we did have two conversations on the telephone....I prefer the telephone or in person...anyway the IM just made me frustrated so I broke away from it....now I regret that I did not handle it right...I finally e-mailed after almost two weeks an apologized...and asked his forgiveness.....he said I am forgiven...I really wish we could converse again someday....only on the phone....guess this is one modern tech. in relationships that I don't care for at all...or perhaps I just wanted it to be at the next level....phone

Yes I have learned much from this and do not regret it at all...except the saddness that I may never hear from him again....

I like IM because you can have more than one person in on the conversation and also have a private conversation if you want to. You can say whatever you want, and not be worried about it being public or being zapped. It's fun to have all my friends in one place expressing themselves and just hanging out.

i like im too. its a great way to talk to friends or people who live far from you.
sometimes you have to be flexible in means of communicating. While you may prefer the phone, he might not. Discuss it with him and find out if he has a preference. Some men can express themselves better on text than threw voice. dunno

That was one of the reasons I didn't like it...we were suppose to be having private conversations....and I felt he was conversing with some others at the same time....If I would have been in a chat room fine....but I just began to get frustrated w/ the length of time inbetween responses....at times I could see when he was typing messages but took forever to appear...so I'm asssuming that is what was happening...I found he also had multiple handles....atleast three...

Well Nina, that's a whole different thread. His behavior has little to do with IM itself. I don't like it when people keep ALL their options open and cannot converse with just one person they are interested in. The multiple handles leads me to believe he may have been having private conversations with more than just you, I hope not, you're sweet.

Heh Butterfly...just what I started to feel...then the last Saturday before I deleted him I noticed both handles were busy all morning...I don't think he realized I had him in my messanger as two different handles...and then somehow I found out about the third...

Hi special lady.

Instant messaging stinks.

Like all of the other machines, inventions and gadgets that take away face to face, human contact and communication.

Give it a few more years and we will never leave our abodes to interact with each other.

Just another opinion.
