Online conversations - At what point are they annoying?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, here's my story: I was on facebook a few days ago, browsing through some of my old high school friends, and I came across this girl that went to my same school, but was three years behind me. I recognized her, but we never knew each other. I'm really big into music, mainly college rock and post-punk, and I noticed this girl had nearly identical taste in music as myself. We both came from a small town where everyone listens to either top 40 or honky-tonk country, so I was so amazed that she liked college rock that I had to strike a conversation with her on the subject. She's very attractive, beautiful really, but I wasn't trying to flirt with her or anything like that, just making conversation with someone who also likes the same music, especially since it's so rare in this area.

 

My message was well-received, and we have been sending a message a day to each other for about a week, now, changing the subject here and there. Neither one of us have been short with the other, and I really enjoy talking to her, but ya know, I don't want to become annoying after a while. I mean, I'm pretty much still just a stranger sending messages, as we didn't know each other in high school. I guess my question is when should I bring the current conversation to an end, or should I?

 

She's at university right now, and I have already graduated, but she'll be back in town in the spring. She seems really cool so far, and I was thinking of inviting her with some friends to a good concert sometime this spring, not as a date, but just to hang out. I'm sure no one believes that :), but friendship is the only thing on my mind right now.

 

So what do you think? The conversation hasn't become stale yet, but it can't just go on forever. When do you know a good stopping point, and how do you end it without sounding annoyed/frustrated? Thanks, all! :)

You are already starting to sound too insecure.

 

But it's nice to find someone to share many things in common, so this has potential. Good luck there.

Lol your lucky to find a girl with the same music tastes as you. Im a huge music fan too and i doubt ill ever find a girl in my town, or a matter of fact in my whole country that likes the same music as me (Westcoast Gangsta rap/G-funk, Funk & thrash metal) :p

 

 

 

I suggest keep talking to her but dont be too consistent like everyday or something cuz it might get annoying for her, but keep sending messages and eventually try to get her number or ask her out or something.

I'm calling your serious bluff here. If friendship was really the only thing on your mind you wouldn't be so pre occupied and concerned about these little things.

If you two are enjoying each other's conversation and it's going well then I see no reason to stop talking. Keep it goin man!
