tom1607307597 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I have a female friend that I used to enjoy talking to over IM because she was nice and seemed to enjoy talking to me, etc. But I'm lately she's been doing some annoying things while on IM: 1. she mainly replies with lol XD! 2. she uses one word/ one sentence replies 3. she doesn't go into detail about what she did last night, on _____ trip, etc. 4. finally she doesn't ask any questions about what I do, or what I did last weekend, that kind of thing How do I go about making her talk more? It feels annoying to have to maintain the conversation like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hint that she's not paying attention, if it's an absolute must. "Lol, sorry, you busy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Pumpkin Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I would just say to her that I'll catch her some other time when she's got time to talk to you, and then leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably bring that up; actually I've thought about telling her she needs to talk more and that it's ok to ask me questions, but I don't want to feel like I'm forcing her to during a conversation. When it comes down to it, I think she is either the type of person to not open up to other people or she really doesn't feel like talking to me (which might be why she keeps using one word responses). Arrghh, this is frustrating because I've known her for over 2 years now and she still doesn't seem comfortable talking with me. If this keeps up should I stop trying to initiate conversations with her over IM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yeah, you should. After all, if they don't want to keep in contact with you.. well, what's the point, right? Forcing them won't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgirl4 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I agree, she isn't putting herself into these conversations. If she hasn't opened up to you after 2 years, I would give up trying and look for new friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
