how fast do you give out your messenger info? (if you use it)?

i don't

messenger is for people i actually know and can vouch for the fact that they're not random axe murderers.

don't use...
I don't like to IM at all.

ahhh..

i use yahoo and google talk. i hate aim with a passion unbridled by any other.

i hate it with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

no sir, i just don't like it.

LOL

I don't like to use IM. I prefer messaging through e-mail.

I only IM with one person

Nobody else

Don't really like it

I believe Mingle2 has a messenger service that you can use. It's the same as using aim or yahoo unless you want to use a webcam or send pictures ...ahem...

I don't. I let people know that I chat here first until I get to know someone. It amazes me that there are some people out there that keep trying and can't seem to grasp the concept of why I don't give out info

i hate the mingle2 chatbox. its horrible. it auto opens its own ads, it glitches and wont load, its a pain.

but its been used in a pinch.

i don't like giving my messenger info out at all to strangers

but i do like having them becuase its easy to speak to my sisters that way. :p

depends how good looking she is

only after we chat for a little while....

hmm yes very true..but im my case i had a asked ask for my number so i opted to use yahoo instead and then i blocked him after posting his number on here....by mistake..or was it?

It depends, my messenger accounts don't have any personal info on them- yeah I'm paranoid about having my info online. If I think I click with someone, I don't mind talking to them through messenger, but most of the time, I prefer email, especially if I'm doing something else at the time; IM can be restricting.

I dated a guy for about three months, 90% of our none face to face communication was IMing on yahoo. I hated it! I didn't have my laptop then so was tied to the computer in my bedroom for hours sometimes. I could tell he wasnt' reading half of what I wrote (which was actually probably good info to have) I can talk on the phone and do other things, knit, cook, light cleaning etc but can't do anything else while IMing...not a big fan of it! E-mail offers more freedom, much less restrictive.

As for giving out that info, no, nope, notta till I really feel I know someone and even then I might give out my alternate info...

Never

I will not give out my messenger info....

If someone is interesting I do. I can cook and do whatever when I am chatting. It's just like email but it arrives a little quicker with more functionality.

Don't they get upset when you don't answer back right away? Feels like I'm ignoring someone if I try to IM and do other stuff too.

Only 2 friends and the rest family.

are you by any chance a fan of the movie 10 things I hate about you??
