Will you say hello to your friend if you see him/her online?

yes i do, why not? just like when you are home you say I AM HOME to your family.

do you mean see people on web camera, or just noticed that they are on line?

I don't have a messenger anymore so I'm not able to. When I did I usually waited until they said something to me. It's hard for me to concentrate on what I'm doing and message back and forth to someone too.

I will only say hello if I have something more to say, because I hate generic conversations: Person 1: Hi Person 2: Hi Person 1: How are you? Person 2: Fine you? Person 1: Fine =D -silence-

Ya I'll surely do it. Usually i do it but you are right, sometimes I feel that maybe am disturbing them too much as they dont come to say hello sometimes.

hey wassup!!!! dats wat i say.............

Of course I will say hello to my friends when I see them on line. If they are busy, they can tell me "Hi, can I call you back?" and I'll be able to take it. I'm not so insecure as to be bothered because they may be busy, just as they are not worried that I might be busy. We are friends, and we will all get back to eachother soon enough.

Hey yl, Yes I always say hey if I see a friend online & sometimes w/ my IM I'll send hey there messages even if they're off line. +'s :)

yes,i will say hello or send a to them on QQ.

I don't usually to that either. I am not always a active person even online. If I don't have something to talk with my friends, I prefer just leave it there.

I do just to say hi.if thay are not busy then thay will talk.or just say hi back.

I almost always do, I just say hi. if they dont say anything back then i know they are busy and usaually dont say anything else, sometimes they will say they are busy.

as i am not very sociable, i will just talk to those who i am really close to.. i feel that i will have nothing to talk to the about and when it does....the awakard scilence.... *shudder*

I don't usually say hello to my online friends because I know that most of them are at work and I try not to disturb them. Some instances that I may pop a hello first would be when I have something important to say to them, I haven't chatted with a friend for a long time and just want to say hi, or when I am down and needs to chat with a friend. Usually, if my chat would be something important and might take longer than a usual hi/hello, I ask my friend beforehand if he/she has some time to spare. Then, I make sure that I can engage in our conversation so that I will not bore my friend and waste his/her time.

Hello youless!:-) I, much like you are, don't feel like bothering my friends even if I have something to say. Especially when they have busy sign on as their status. Even if busy sign is not on, I feel that I might be bothering them by saying hello and they will reply back just out of courtesy. So, I normally wait for them to initialize. I guess, I am not very good at socializing. I'll always reply back though, if they say hello to me and will never abandon them or like them to feel that they aren't welcome. I really like to talk to my friends online. But, I also like that they feel comfortable with me and one possible way to know is, if they start the conversation. But, if I have something really important to talk to, especially about them or something of concern to them, I'll say hello and try to finish my part as quickly and shortly as possible, just to ensure that they have what they should.

I usually don't say hi first...not knowing if my friend is busy....or well, one in particular it could be her hubby or kids getting on the computer and not her. She always asks if it's me first when she gets online. LOL Marsha

Hi youless! Sometimes, I would say hello to them but most of the time, I really don't. Usually when my friends and I want to chat online, we set up a schedule because everyone is busy at home and in their work. So, if I see them online, I will just say hi because I do not want to bother them for they maybe busy chatting about business or things that I am not really involved with. Take Care and God Bless! Have a smile in your heart always!

I do send them smileys.I sometimes moved to tears if they are a long time friend

i do not always say hello to them coz partly because i'm afraid to bother them,partly i may be busy then.

I do. Even if i am in the middle of something else, i will still say hi and catch you later!
