I am wondering what is the 1st question you ask someone when you talk to the online! I am wondering because it seems a lot of the time people seem to forget to ask someone's name first or they aren't interested in their name!

When first talking with someone online I keep it simple and more directed towards their profile and/or forum comments. I don't usually get into "names" later until there is a continued conversation or a certain level of comfort on my part.

I find most do not seem to know how to carry on a conversation and only want to write 1 sentence or less. I'm not inclined to bother conversing in any great depth as the conversation is limited and completed ie. great post etc. as there is no further intentions involved.

I think when its "right" between two people it simply flows back and forth and you get the point that you truly want to share more about yourself with them. There are others as well, when you don't always chat but its like the conversation picked up where it left off.
