Instant Messenger

Instant messenger programs are now used by millions of people worldwide. Instant messaging has taken the world by storm. And why not, it’s FUN, EASY, and CHEAP way to keep in touch with people.
If you don’t already have an Instant messenger program (or even if you do) I recommend Trillion:

… because it is compatible with all the different IM programs. That way you can avoid installing three separate software programs for the most popular IM programs – AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), Microsoft Messenger, and ICQ Chat.
It’s an all-in-one solution.
If you are confused by all of this here is a detailed, easy-to-understand explanation of instant messaging:

Why IM?
Instant messaging is a great way to transition from the online world to the offline world (phone).
As we will discuss later, women are often uncomfortable with making a leap from email to a real life date. Instant messaging is just one of the “baby steps” you will take to speed up this transition while making it more comfortable for her.
TIPS:

• Even if you already have an IM screen name create another one solely for the purpose of online dating so that you can stay organized.
• Have your IM screen name and personals username match. This way the person you are talking to will not be (as) confused about who she is talking to.

o Also, it’s a good idea to have a separate account you use for online dating so that, if you are usually online all day long, women won’t think you have no life ☺.

o IMPORTANT: Be sure to include a smiley after you tease so that the woman doesn’t take you seriously (which will happen more often than you would think).

• IM conversations should be more playful than normal conversations otherwise they will seem very boring (because it’s just text). Save the “So what do you do?” type questions for face-to-face (and even then they should be avoided).
