    You know that is common to greet other people in office? If you want more you ask if they want to go to lunch or ask if they are busy or just send an mail

    lol that's true~ the lonesome hi is weird. I suppose maybe people don't know what to say so they start with hi and hope the other person carries on the conversation

    *nod nod nod* Saying only Hi is bad! >.<
    Well, yeah? But going out of your way to just say hi and then disappear is not exactly the most normal thing to do.

    What this guy is doing is awkward, but I'm not much better... I say hey, then a sentence. I'm really lacking in conversation skills.

    In my mind
    *What should I say????*

    Drifts off into silence until person thinks its strange and leaves...

    Hm. Depends. If the way of communication/interaction is a direct chat or a private message.

    If it's a direct message, I'd say 'Hi' (or something similar). Why? Because I want to see the disponibility/if that person replies back.

    In some cases you can verify the authenthicity of a person by looking at his/her profile - to see if it's a spambot or not.

    There is a case when I've gave way on my impulses and tested something and kinda spammed someone with some emoticons. Why? Because I've could and the person didn't even bother to, dunno.. React. It was interesting. It happened only once and I doubt that I'll repeat that again.
    We came from the same forum and interacted a bit, the person was active, but didn't really bother to reply. So, well, I did what I did. I can't say that I'm proud of that, but I don't regret it. Why? Hm. The context allowed me to do that.

    Usually, when I receive a 'Hi!', I reply back in a way or another. Why? Because I can and choose to do that. Few people contact me withouth a reason.

    Hm. This topic reminded me of this: - heard of him from the first time from @Judgecutioner ..

    This is better IMO, a sentence is already a start, it's something for you to work with...

    It's just plain strange if you don't say anything save from "hi" when talking to a total stranger IMHO.

    Well...... Perhaps the internet generation just hardly ever talk to 'real' people this day?

    Perhaps they should write it like this?
    "Good day to you and good tiding to your family and work.
    I happened to see your status and it fancied me to meet with someone like you. Hence, I took this opportunity to write this message.
    Recently I am fascinated in bubble drinks. You can easily buy some bubble drink from streetside vendors with cheap price. Though I am concerned for the drink hygiene, well, there an old saying: "Too clean, and your white blood cell will languish from any use", so I think my leucocytes need some training. It's laughable.
    Then what about you? Something fascinating happened in your daily life?

    Sincerely, from a random forum user who finds it fascinating writing a message using some 19th Century how to write a letter advice."

    Yeah...... I think the new generations should read how to write a letter...... They still teach that in school right?

    Oh, they do they do! I never wrote a letter myself, but I learned how to in school! \(^^)/

    I'd laugh quite a bit if I received this kind of thing in a dating site! I'd definitely start talking with the person in question!!!

    I don't even say hi
    Am I rude??
    but it's just that I don't care about them plus laziness
    If I see someone walking down the road whom I know I just nod my head and walk off
    People may think I am rude but I am actually very KIND it's just that I don't want them to waste their time in an awkward conversation with someone who isn't even a bit interested in them
    So instead of making them feel annoyed or sad i do this ain't I kind

    I don't know!!!! >.<

    I mean, are you actively trying to seek someone? Considering how busy you are with your work, it might be hard to get into a relationship... orz

    Ganbatte!!!! I'm sure Onii-san will find a lovely girl to go out with!!!

    Hmmmmm... Well, we don't have this culture on my country, so I don't know if it really works or not, but... Perhaps it might help? At the very least you might meet someone that is also interested on a serious relationship, it might be worth the shot IMO.

    It's a bit weird for me to go to a first meeting as a marriage interview of sorts (at least that's what I think an omiai is?), but at the same time I wonder if I'd be willing to marry that person since the first day of dating, so... Maybe it's actually a healthy thing.

    I think you could consider it Onii-san!
    <.<

    Some people started dating for real after meeting in NUF... >.>

    Oh no, NUF is yet to reach 2 years old, Riajii-san has grandchildren already, he and his wives were married long before NU was a thing.
