Instant messaging is weird though. I never know when to leave a conversation. Sometimes I think it's like a conversation is just dropped in the middle, but then we'll chat then next day. I only ever initiate an instant chat if I need to ask something specific, but a casual conversation freaks me out a bit. I've got one friend who regularly IM's me on Facebook and it's a bit like a month long rambling conversation. Most of the time it's me that just drops the conversation because I have things to do like the dishes or have a bath. What do I say, "ok bye, things to do."
If he is your crush and you want him to like you back, then hell yes hurtloam, dropping the conversation would send the opposite message: That you don't care that much about him; better to say something like "I have things to do, we talk later

".
Yeah, this isn't the crush. I guess I might behave differently if the crush actually bothered messaging me.
