This is tough! I notice phone calls isn't really the thing to do anymore, so it's all about texting and messaging.

Texting/Messaging is a little less personal at first and easier to engage in by both parties. Kind of like the anonymity of the internet, in a way it is like a mask for people, possibly people like me who take some time to open up or are a bit shy at first.

Kind of fits here.

My friend and his wife went to Times Square for NYE and are playing long distance match-maker for me apparently.

Wouldn't be too bad of a thing if the girl was coming back home to Arizona, but she lives in Atlanta.

Still, texting it is.

Which I'm grateful for, because my buddy and this girl text me at like 11:45-midnight and I'd have been pissed if my phone range, because someone was calling me.

The anonymity of the internet is amazing for meeting new people.

Texting is ok. I prefer texts to phone calls any day for small snippets. Some women prefer voice calls, though, so I just have to change as needed.

Actual messaging is still king amongst non-face-to-face conversation (Skype/web cam chat is a strange hybrid) for me. I love talking in IM to someone, though I do it far less than I used to. You can really get close to people by talking online and sharing feelings/thoughts/interests. It's far easier for almost everyone than in person.

The exception being someone who can't write very well at all, and thus can't properly communicate via written words. Granted, that is plenty of people, but those aren't people I tend to be around even in person...

I can usually tell when I'm not going to get along with someone in person by some extended conversations via IM.
