What do you do when a friend IM's you TOO MUCH?
I have a friend, and whenever I go online, she almost always Instant Messages me. I was cool with it for a while, but no it's just irritating. I've put an away message up, but I always eventually come back. What can I do (It has to be nice)?

I think you should be honest with her.Tell her that she is IMing you a littel to much.But try not to sound so mean.Or you could do what other people said and tell her your not able to talk.Hopefully things work out!!!!!!
*Good luck*

I say be completely honest w/ her. That's what I would want. I am generally the one to start convos w/ ppl and I don't know if I get annoying. So, if it were me, I'd say tell her cause she may not know it bothers you. I'd want to know the truth anyway. Just don't lie to her about it. That wouldn't be pretty, especially if she is your friend. Then once she starts backing down, show her that you still want to talk and don't completely avoid her by actually starting a conversation eventually and not just saying that you will and never do. And I don't mean in a few months eventually. Good luck and I hope I helped!

If have many of them...anyways you should just tell her your busy, or its not you on your screen name. Good Luck =)

Tell her you are busy with something when she IMs you, pretend it isn't you on your name, tell her BRB and don't come back, tell her you can't talk right then.

well the best thing to do is just tell her the truth. I have the some problems with one of my friends but i have AIM and you can go away oon aim and still talk to people so i just go away and only talk to the people i want to. So the only thing you can realy do is tell her the truth or whne she comes on just say ur really busy and cant talk.
hope i helped

I don't have the "low down" on AOL, since I don't have it. But if she's really bothering you... why don't you tell her that sometimes you just want to be online, not talk to someone? Or ask her if you can start the conversation next time.
I don't know if AOL has this feature, but with AIM, you can go invisible (click the eye on your buddy list. You're still signed on, but you look signed off). That way you only talk to the people you want to talk to. This is just a temporary fix.
AIM also lets you talk to people with your away message up. I practically live with mine up, only taking it down when there's someone I really want to talk to.
You could make a new SN, and "forget" to tell her... but then the confrontation wouldn't be pretty.
Basically, your best bet is to ask her to cool her guns.

Well, if you get really annyoyed, tell her that you have to be right back. But, don't put your away messege up. Just say, brb.

If she's bothering you, why can't you just tell her the truth? She is more likley to leave you alone by being honest then by going away. You could just tell her you're busy or your computer is freezing up or that you're mom wants to get online but I still think you should tell her to stop IMing you as much and for you to be honest.

have you considered being honest with her? if you dont feel like talking, tell her "i cant talk right now, i'll msg you later". being honest is easier than you think.

Well AIM does have that new feature where you are able to talk to people even though your away message is up. I've had some of the best conversations with people with my away message up :-P. I know that's not your question, but it can be a temporary solution. I have the same problem with this one girl, that is why my away message is constantly up. So what I'm saying can be a temporary solution until other people answer. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, I'm going through the same thing so I don't have the best answer. Maybe you can tell her that you appreciate she wants to talk but it gets kind of irritating when the second you sign on she sends you something. It's okay every once in a while, or if it's mildly important, but if all she wants to do is say "hey, what up" and just chit chat, then to give you a few seconds or to wait for you to IM her first. I know nobody actually talks to their friends that way, which is why I offered the temporary solution. Anyway, I hope you get some help from one of my answers :)!!
