It's like hanging up the phone. Actually, I find that guys do it more. The worst is that post-chat email, the one where they are basking in the afterglow, that says "hey, I just really want you to know that I really enjoyed chatting with you tonight, I really did and I hope we can chat again really soon." Guy, it's over. Go to sleep. -WG Here’s an idea…log off the minute you say bye and she responds. It’s like hanging up the phone.

IM'ing just isn't a great method of serious communication. imho. oh - and the how-to-end deal is about the last word power struggle. happens in all interactions between two last-worders. eh. once shmoozed with a girl who i never knew when she was done talking. i kept interrupting and feeling like a jerk. eventually i started waiting like a minute to see if she was going to write anymore. then she probably thought i WAS a jerk – “where did he go while i was talking?”

Convo is over, right? Maybe not. I was never good with Internet protocol. Maybe he's just bored for now. Hey! I'm not boring! Of course not. If you thought of something interesting to say, the convo would restart. Umm.... Okay, thinking of something. I hope he doesn't think I'm ignoring him? Maybe he thinks I'm giving him the cold shoulder. Maybe he's waiting for me to to restart conversation? I don't want him to think I'm a snob. I'm not a snob! I'm not judgemental like that! I'm a perfectly friendly person. Great, now he'll never want to IM me again. Sample thought process:
