TxRedheadGuy Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I was just wondering if online chat has helped others as it has me improving social and conversational skills? Most of my life I have been shy and normally would not be the first to initiate conversations, especially with women. Online chat has helped me gain the confidence not only to approach strangers, but to keep the conversation going comfortably. Dating is much easier now that I am more comfortable around women and approaching strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insofar Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 In my experience, yes, it does help, but there are certain elements to face to face meeting that online conversations can't approximate. But it's helped me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnelianButterfly Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Not really, although it is nice that I can think at my own pace and not have to worry about people staring at me when I don't respond right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Yes I would say that is true to some degree. I've learned a few thing about dating and conversations by online interactions, however, I still usually go by email exchanges and am loathe to go on messenger.

Dako Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 No, I still stutter under pressure and feel insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I don't get to chat with girls online. I don't even know where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 For me yes. Chat forums and online chat have helped me. I am strongly introverted and require little social interaction. Yet somehow the women I have been out with recently see me as quite extroverted. Keeping a conversation going isn't difficult for me. May not be the most interesting conversation in the world, but it works. And I think doing all that I have online over the years has contributed to that. Free flowing thought and the like....
