Do you message your friends here?

April 30, 2007 7:44pm CST
Do you message your friends here? I'm talking about getting to know them etc. I've never really been someone who does this, although at times I do. (sadly not as often as I'd like) but recently I've been overwhelmed by the response after asking those I highly appreciate. This something I'm going to focus on doing more, so I can get to know my friends. ~Joey P.s To those friends I've recently messaged thanks. (I honestly mean this) =)

No, I never had time to go through all of my friends list and e-mail them. There are so many of them and I don't think I'd get through them all in one day. But, if someone e-mails me, I always reply back.

I use the messaging system as it is supposed to be used lol. That is, to communicate privately with friends. I have messages quite regularly.

Yes, I am always messaging my friends, if they haven't been around I'm always checking up to make sure they are alright, it is great to be able to chat and just to let them know I am thinking about them and to let them know I'm ok and vice versa. I never spam my friends because I hate to be spammed myself, when I went through a bad time my friends all rallied around with the support, hugs etc which was most welcome indeed, shows just what a great community Mylot is! Respect

Yes Joey, I do message some of my friends here on Mylot frequently. We do chat about personal and also discuss about some particular issues or problems. I like my friends so much, they really care to respond when you sen them a message.

I don't do this too often. But you make a good point about the possibilities. Getting to know people from here is a risk for many. I think some have been able to forge great friendships and have even met in person. I think meeting someone in person would be a bit different than just talking to them on a site like this. At least, that is my experience.

I actually wished sometimes I had the bottle to approach people on here more often, It's somewhat harder for me to send a message rather than responding. I've made some great online friendships in the past, so many here could and are included in a long list in which I'm truly glad to have known. (even if it only online) I'd love to meet some of the members here, I remember when I was on another site the brits all met up and I would of gone but nobody invited me. (still think it would of been interesting to do) Thanks sigma =)

You know, I don't do it very often. I guess I feel like I don't have anything to say really? I come on a few times a day to answer discussions, but not much else. I've been swamped with packing to move into a new house and just don't have anything to say. Sad, I know...

Hi joey, I've been exchanging private messages with a few close friends almost everyday. You can say that I'm learning to multitask. While replying to some discussion here, I'm also sending messages at the same time. It helps to get me to inspire more to stay here. Its a good way of getting to know your virtual friends better. I honestly didn't believe that we can gained new friends through the internet when I first joined mylot. Its incredible and I like it. PS: I'm "IN", my username is Charms.

I'm to shy I guess to just out of the blue send them a message to get to know them, but if you'd like to drop a line anytime, feel free to :)

Hello,joeymatthews,i used to message to some of my friends to get know with them,i might have send message to them twice a week to see how they were going,now,those friends i used i sent message to had gone already,also i am not able to send message most of the time because of the glitch.Sometimes,it will be quite embarassing because people may think that i have ignored their messages,i have to try few times or more to make the messages get through.

Yes I do message friends in mylot. I usually message them if it is a message of personal message or if there is something that I need to dicuss but not with everyone watching. I also message my views once a while when I feel a topic is too hot and will get flamed mostly, it is better in such situations to message than put your thoughts on board. Yes I have come to meet and know some very nice people here in mylot and though I wish I could message them more but the very fact that we interact everday is like talking to each other with our views and thoughts.

Yes I have messaged some of my friends here. I have even talked on the phone several times to one of them. We are hoping to be able to meet in person this summer. I have a few friends that I have exchanged email addresses with and also I IM a lady from the Philapines. I have met some great people here on mylot. Its a great site and I hope its around for a long time. Even if its not, I will stay in touch with a few people I have met.
