Do you ever have the feeling of...
 
Adding random people on your MSN or Instant Messenger? I feel like doing that but at the same time, I don't want to be rude and just add. The conversation would be really awkward, no? I'll just look at people on MENE and see a MSN icon and click it and wonder how our conversation will go by. "Hello...who are you? Why did you add me?" and I would just respond with "..To be...friends, maybe?". Is it weird? I'm not the only one with these thoughts? I feel like I need more virtual friends, I feel quite pathetic.

I have the feeling once and a while, normally when I'm bored out of my mind and no one wants to chat with me----
Something about be getting distracted, them getting distracted, or I get into a Yaoi mood---- ^^;;
I haven't actually gone as far as adding people I don't know--- xD but anyone I like from seeing a few times-- well be warned ;3

db8ann: I get this way because every one my list are either sleeping or doing something important to talk to me. So I get quite bored and I just want someone to talk too. I seriously want to add someone on Mene but that's a little too much. I once did add someone on a Bleach forum and we're best friends. It has been three years and we still talk and stuff, we're best buds. I want to add someone but it could be a fake and things could turn out to be the worst. Outcomes are quite scary but without taking risks we would never know. >>; Though since this is different I'm not sure how someone will react. At this very moment, I don't mind if people add me, even if I am ready to go to bed. ><

This happens every once in awhile to me and I get really excited to make a new friend (:
I never add people myself, because I don't want to scare them away.

I made my best friends that way when I was on Gaia. But we're getting older and they aren't online as much as they use to.

If it's someone I talk to regularly, I don't care. A complete stranger? I would probably become aggressive.

Rukia Kuchiki- 08-25-2011 03:54 PM

Yeah, same as the person above. If someone added me who I've never talked to, I'd press the delete button in a heartbeat :-/

Mystic 08-25-2011 05:00 PM

If someone displays their messenger name on a public site where anyone can see it then they really can't get mad when some random person adds them. The way I see it at least.

I honestly don't care if someone IMs me as long as they're not a jerk. I'd ask if it was a SN I didn't know IMing me but I'm okay with meeting new people. Isn't the IMing thing there for that anyway?

lightkanna 08-25-2011 06:11 PM

The Real Nikki: I understand what you meant. So does that mean if I added you, you wouldn't mind? I'm asking because I don't want to just straight away add you and have you act like a complete jerk to me, even though I asked for you but you have it up, I'm just wondering. ><

Vix: It's understandable. I wouldn't be that way unless the person that added me is acting as a complete asshole, then I will also act that way. ^^

Mystic: You are absolutely right. They have it up there and if a random person wants to add them, they can but the outcome can be good or bad. So they shouldn't be that mad but they should ask first. It's what I think would be a considerate thing to do. ^^ So I'm just asking people if I could add them, I get quite bored at night and if you are up as well, we could talk. ><

Navii 08-25-2011 06:27 PM

I have the feeling all the time because I really want to meet new people, but I'm too scared to approach random people on the internet, haha.

Vix Viral 08-25-2011 08:41 PM

I have mine showing in case someone really needs to reach me. Not that I'm on much anyway. I don't care for most people I meet in general so I don't feel bad about being a bitch.

Himalia 08-27-2011 10:58 AM

I get random adds a lot of the time, but I accept and then they never speak to me, and often it's Indian men that will propose marriage. I need to clear through my MSN list and only keep those that I'll speak to on there. xD

But I do like to get adds from people that are not creepy and weird, making friends is awesome. Usually I'll wait until I've spoken to someone and then ask for their MSN, so it's an add that's random but not. ;D

lightkanna 08-27-2011 03:37 PM

Himalia: I do that too especially on Gaia. If I feel the need that they are quite an amazing person, I then take the conversation onto MSN. I mean, who stays in town and talk away? .-. I can't do it, so I rather have you on MSN. XD I did that recently, two weeks ago and we are still talking. ^^ I'm sorry you get men proposing to you on the net, I feel quite sorry for you. Though I think it'd be a funny experience, no? ^^

Nacara 08-29-2011 07:54 AM

Haha, I'd do it just for the sake of being random!
You never know what kind of fun can come from a little mischief.
:angel:

Haha it certainly makes for some funny stories. I do fell bad that it has sort of tainted my view of all Indian men now though... D;

I love it when you meet someone great and spend ages talking on MSN, that makes my day!

Nacara 08-29-2011 04:34 PM

Woah, I am definitely interested in the Indian proposal story Himalia! What happened??

lightkanna 08-29-2011 07:33 PM

Himalia: I understand that as well. ^^ It's great when you can talk to someone and have the conversation not become dull at all. :)
I'm also interested in the Indian conversation that went on. If you are willing to tell.

Nacara 08-29-2011 07:48 PM

Aww, that is the cutest little panda on your umbrella Light - I hadn't noticed it until now ;3

lightkanna 08-29-2011 08:11 PM

Nacara: Aw! Thank you! ^^ Your avatar is really nice though. ^^

Nacara 08-29-2011 08:18 PM

Thank you! I'm working on getting Sleepy Time so my avi will be a little more unique. I love stars, the galaxy, and the study of space. It is just so fascinating! Just knowing that you can see Andromeda, an entirely different galaxy than our own is just mind blowing!

lightkanna 08-29-2011 08:48 PM

Ah, so when you go into college you're going to major in Astronomy?

takohako 08-29-2011 09:14 PM

I do not use either AIM or MSN but whenever a random person (random person = I have no idea who it is, never spoken anywhere online or in real life) adds me, I assume it is a spambot and ignore them

Ashlyn Mae 08-29-2011 09:45 PM

I don't, since I don't know them at all. I get a lot of random friend requests on other sites and wouldn't want to do that to someone else 'cause I find it annoying when someone else does it.

Superga 08-30-2011 12:04 AM

I generally don't do that. Based on my MMO experience, sending someone a friend request or party invite out of the blue comes off as rude to me. (Well, rude to send a party invite, just weird to send a friend request.) It's like, I don't even know you? I know nothing about you. How should I know if you're someone I want as a friend?The other possibility is that I will assume it's a spambot and ignore/delete right away.

Nacara 08-30-2011 02:44 AM

@Light - I have very recently dropped my nursing major and am unsure of what I'd like to get as a degree. As fascinating as space is, I still dont like the math portion (which is a major part)

lightkanna 08-30-2011 05:47 AM

Nacara: Ah... That's fine. To some people it'd come in time. ^^; I still don't know what I want to do. >< I hope you find something though!

@SuperGa: That is a very understandable thing. Though I wouldn't do that but seeing as it's you and not me, I get it. ><
