blech...can't believe I'm agreeing with Nik :beer:

The truth shall set you free, but first it will make you miserable. Think about that and then act on it, get closure, then move on to bigger and better things. You are in college, you should be focusing on getting a good education, getting some good beer, and finally, getting some good pvssy, not being bent up on some girl who isn't talking to you.

Actually, let me fix that last part: getting whatever pvssy is good for you at this point. It's sort of like pizza. When it's bad, it's still kind of good. When it's good, it's really really good ;)

away messages are sent to people regardless of whether they're on the buddylist or not

A "mentally and psychologically mature college sophomore" is one of the world's biggest oxymorons :p

wait until she has a away message up, IM her. if it auto replys with her away message then you're on her list.

dammit!

No I think you have to be on their list. It depends I guess. If they have it set to not immediately accept messages, where you get that message "would you like to accept message from", then you won't get their auto response. That's the way it is by default.

Yup, depends on the software apparently. I haven't used the AIM software in years. That default option sucks.

Wow, OP, have you even tried listening to yourself or reading what you posted?

It's really confusing/conflicting.

You and this chick apparently hate each other very much. And you don't want anything to do with her so why do you want to know so badly whether or not you are on her AIM list? Me thinks that you hope you are on her AIM list b/c in the off chance that it is, you will miscontrue that as another chance that you and her will get together or something.

Nik is right, you have feelings for this girl yet you consistenly deny it. However, your ultra defensive, hostile attitude clearly shows that you want exactly the opposite of what you're posting here.

Either forget about this girl and stop saying "im curious if i'm on her AIM", or just confess that you have feelings for her and IM her or call her to talk to her.

And you two are 18 and 21 in college? LOL you sure act like 14 year olds. I can't believe you take AIM so seriously.

Go To Privacy - Simply change the option to "Only people on my list can see me" and then remove her name from your list.

After this - you can be sure that you are NOT on her list.
