Talking to a girl through IM:
Girl: Ugh, I'm sick.
Me: Really? What's the matter?
Girl: I have a cold and my tonsils are swollen.
Me: Really? How swollen exactly?
I would -never- ask that in person. Why would I ask that over the internet? I think the problem is I have way too much time to think about what I say on the web - and I end up thinking it to death.
Ugh.

You should have asked her to take a picture of her swollen tonsils and then send it to you.
it is amazing how the net fucks with traditional communication... the lack of voice inflection, non-verbal cues, etc. it all seems so fake...and so easy to misinterpret a situation... same with text messages... one more reason why i HATE when that is the only way guys communicate.
When it comes to women, the lack of tone and inflection text messages allow can be a saving grace.
You women seem more than capable of imagining far worse possibilities by yourselves than our tones would imply!
