Can I Call You?
Instant messenger kills me. I’ve met a number of people online and it’s always interesting when they’re so stoked to get on to messenger. I have a problem with instant messaging in that I find it’s a sub-standard way to communicate when you’re meeting local people. It takes longer to type, you can’t express emotions and if you’re sarcastic, watch out!
Sarcasm never reads well over the wires. There are also those that just don’t understand that there are times to chat and times when you need to work or be left alone. My last pet peeve is that some just don’t seem to get that it’s a two way street. I am a firm believer that conversation, like anything else in a new or lasting relationship, falls to people with equal responsibility. If you hit me up a couple of times on instant messaging, I need to hit you up. If it’s always one person doing the initiating, it just isn’t fair – and it speaks volumes. Yes, technology had made dating a heck of lot easier. It’s just too bad it isn’t flawless. In the meantime, would it be okay if we skipped instant messaging and I called you?

Seriously. I'm in total agreement. I refuse to chat. Why do that when you can just as easily call one another?? IM is lame.
