Now Constance, if you want to be loved...you're going to have to help Ugly Bastard help you. How can you expect a friendly message when you don't even reply to Mr. Bastard's message in the first place? This sounds like a case of someone wanting to receive the spoils of a nice friendship...without really putting her fair share of the effort into it.
Now, in order to resolve this issue, it's going to take work on both ends. Ugly Bastard, I'd like you to send Constance another greeting when you see her online (if you're not too bitter about her lack of reply before). Now, if you're really as interested in genuine hello's as you claim, I suggest that you reciprocate the greeting to Mr. Bastard, letting him know that you not only care, but that you're appreciative of his efforts.
This should eventually snowball into an online friendship that could very well warrant a message of "hello" with each logging on to the instant messenger.
