Boring pm's

[barefootgirl69]

I go braindead during IM. I always feel like I must respond no matter what. And sometimes, I just don't have a quick response on hand.

If you've gotten to know someone well enough to IM, they should know you well enough to know they can't always get an immediate response. RL happens around us, and I don't always get back to someone right away, either.
(shhhh don't tell anyone, okay?)

IMHO thinking on your fingers (in a PM or simlar) is something which comes with practice.

Granted it's a blow to your ego, but you just have to accept that to start with you'll probably struggle. Anyway, your joining date is pretty recent so the chances are that people will cut you some slack.

If need be, just fire off a quick reply to the effect of "I need to think about this one, can I get back to you later?"

Thank you. And don't worry, I wont tell anybody that you're boring.

But I'm not new to IM. I haven't spoken with anybody from this site yet. I have only met one person. But she was really nice.

Even if you're not new to IM, you're new to the people here, yes? It's going to be a bit like trying to dance (or jam) with somebody when you're not sure where they'll go next. It will get easier.

Oh I see what you mean. Yes, I hope that is true. Thank you for your advice!

I hope barefootgirl didn't think I was insulting her. I was just teasing her.

One boring pm to some maybe riveting to another.

I think you could be more considerate of others feelings who never get a pm and remain hopeful one day they'll log in to see...

Private Messages: Unread 1

and it makes their day.


A simple hi might be the word equivalent to a gateway into the continuance of a pleasurable dialogue resulting in one being in a state of disrepair with a bit of goo in your hair or a soft tissue that smells of the fragrance of sex.



Or you could dismiss the boring pm and moan about it on the gb and that is the end of the possibility that might have been momentous, climactic and so fulfilling.

Why do people send private messages when they are so bloody boring?

That is all

Don't take it personally. Eyer's posts are even more boring.

I answer all pm's. Mostly they are wanting to know more about me. That's OK.

But for the most common PM I get. No I don't want to get skull fucked by your massive moosedick.

Crap. Why does that come up so often?

 

[MichelleInAsia]

Helpful if someone says more than just 'hi', but other than that most are interesting or different

 

[glynndah]

Boring?

Really?!?

I'm crushed.
