Hm, i'm kinda in the middle about this.

Yes, it is a lot easier to tell someone how you feel in an IM, but that person might like it better if you told them face to face. I guess it all really depends on the type of person.. if you say it face to face they'll be able to tell that you really mean it... if you tell them in an IM then they might not know what to think.

Belladonna answered Thursday June 15 2006, 3:09 am:
I agree with you that it feels much easier. Online you're not face-to-face.. so it's a lot less confrontational. I am a lot more comfortable speaking about my feelings and such online, rather than in real life.
I don't see anything wrong with it per se. Yes, it's more personal to do it in real life but there are many people who aren't comfortable with that. For really important things.. like asking someone out, I think it's better to do that in real life or at least over the phone. I've never had to do that though, lol.

WEll, i've had an online relationship, it's not tacky to tell someone your feelings for them. Although, be carefull in online dating, there are many bad things that can happen.

If you don't know them in person, then yes, it's tacky, but if you do, it's fine.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I've always been able to explain myself better on the computer rather then in person, especially about stuff like that. It's just easier to get everything out at once, like on the phone you might forget to say something, and then you'll look back on it & be like dammmn. I wish I would've told him this or this. On the internet is MUCH better. :]

HardxcorePunkLover answered Wednesday June 14 2006, 10:24 pm:
It may seem easier but it will be better & more respectable in person. People like people that are confident [most of the time] & I think that it would be better for you & the person if you told them in person if anything. It may seem easier but you will feel so much better after being confident enough & doing it. Hope I helped, good luck, & please rate.

xxsima answered Wednesday June 14 2006, 10:11 pm:
Nope. I don't think its tacky. It can actually be easier because if you're someone who is shy, then AIM is someone that you can go to. [lol] xDD. When I was 13, I used to always do that. Don't worry about it. Just don't keep doing that when you're in college, of course. Then you want to actually meet people face to face.

Hope I helped!

I don't think it is tacky. It is a lot easier especially because then they don't see you blush or anything like that. I say go for it! Hope for the best!

betterthanyou_X3 answered Wednesday June 14 2006, 9:58 pm:
It really depends on how old you are. If you're still in middle school, then no biggie. I remember alot of people used to ask out or get asked out on AIM back in middle school, too. But, once you get into high school and you really like this person, then it's better to tell them in person.

PunkieFreak4690 answered Wednesday June 14 2006, 9:57 pm:
That's not tacky at all -- most people I know express their feelings over the internet; some by phone. Doing it by internet just makes things easier to express feelings and emotions rather than telling them in person. It's normal to do that and it's very common.
