Will you be offline even when you're online?

Hi godmom I never had any g/f or even a dedicated friend when I had started chatting online using those apps. So I never had to check. Today, I have my wife and have somehow got her to use skype though owing to the fact that we stay at different places in different cities. Whenever she is online and I am offline, she gives me a call and I go online. And the same for me, if she is offline and I do need to chat with her, I ask her to come online so that we can chat - most of the time she obliges and that makes me happy. Today, I dont have many friends on my list at skype - mostly official clients and one myLot friend - Jlyn - but she remains offline most of the time. I had conversated with her once and I hope that she wont set her status to offline when she is online and on chat. That said, yes, there have been times when I have gone into the offline modes (mostly to avoid business talks on Sundays and other National - Indian holidays when I want to chat with my wife only)

I did with my husband but I just leave him alone, I didn't mind. This is what I'm doing too, staying invisible. There are times that I don't like to talk and also if I stay visible, messages are coming up and I cannot keep up and focus on the conversation if I'm talking to many persons at one time.

i have done the same. And it is because I have avoided some people who would just be sending messages which are either off or I am not really interested. In Facebook, my chat is always offline because somebody just pops and ask for their pages to be liked or there are former classmates who would be asking questions about other classmates and they just tend to gossip.

hi en, This happened to me a year ago a friend is avoiding me because she can't pay me back every time I am online suddenly she will be offline but if you visit her home page you will see the updated status and activity she did this many times until I was pissed off so I messaged her and said that I am going to delete her so she doesn't need to hide every time I am online after that we never talk. happy mylotting

I am always offline to all those people who are not good friends to me. It is not like I do not like them and all, It is just that, I am not interested in speaking to them simply because there is nothing at all to speak to them At the end of a small hi and how are you, there will be another question rising up, "Then, what else?" This is the toughest question for me as well as the other person. So, I would rather prefer to stay offline to every one except for my close friends with whom, obviously the conversations never end.

I'm not really interested with chatting online, that I never pay attention if my close friend is stay online or not. but if I knew my friend choose to stay offline for me only, it's not a big deal. may be she's busy and don't want to give her focus to many thing or something else. instead, most of time, I always stay offline

Some people do that maybe because they are busy and don't wanted to be disturb at that time.but if they do it always invisible,that's another story.maybe they are hiding from somebody.

Hi En, In facebook, I try to staf offline always as I try to avoid any conversation I don't like chat that much anymore since I am only online for five minuetes maybe and chatting used to need times more than that so I just check on my frineds status and give comments whenever I can

sometimes, i did that if i do not want to be disturbed. but i experienced when someones is furious at me and he used to hide and did not answer my calling. but it is okay. i respected his decision and decided not to bother him anymore. i want to unfriend this guy but radically, i want to stay calm and calmer and calmest before i can do anything that is not good or that will hurt us both. so that is what is it. thanks for bringing this thing here ;)

There could be lots of reasons why someone will hide from you on a messenger. Unless they tell us, we will not really know for sure. If something is amiss, you will feel if there really is a nasty reason for this. If not, then I usually just ignore it and if they try to contact me I will still be sociable. I might even ask them about it but I am not going to pry if they don't want to tell me. For me it is such a small thing to get stressed about.

I used to do that I mean being on line but invisible because I did not like friend to catch me and start chat as I did not have time. that is it . that was all because I did not have time for chat and appear invisible just to read messages and reply them.

I'm often offline to everyone. I like to control my contacts with friends and other people and I prefer to talk to people myself then wait for them to write. I never tried to be offline to particular someone. I guess I ignore everyone equally.
