    both online and offline. would you rather talk with a single person, or talk with many people at once?
     
    One on one. It's just more personal that way. Though group conversations have the potential to last longer, on average I would think.
     
    One on one, like Drakow. It's more personable and makes me feel closer to the person I'm talking to. Confidence issues as well as my desire to understand people more in-depth than on the surface are also contributing factors.
     
    While I like one-on-one a lot, I prefer group. You get to hear many different opinions about a topic all at once and it's really interesting how it always turns out, rather than two people who agree on one subject, you can have five people with four people agreeing and one person objecting, making the conversation go where it normally would not have gone.
     
    It really depends; I like both of them the same amount. If I have something I specifically like to talk about with one person or want to have some one-on-one time with them then i'll go the one-on-one route. I also love group chats (I can't even think of the last time I had one on msn) and group hangouts because you get to see more of your friends. It just depends on whether or not I want that one-on-one time (irl or online).
     
    I rather talk to a group. It's way more fun that way. Both irl and online. Never happens to me much online though.
     
    One on one, only because, if it's a group conversation, I'll likely fade into the background, and never really get to say anything.
     
    I prefer one on one as the convo's not as watered down with light humor as it is with group convos for me, I prefer a more serious discussion when conversing with someone anyways which is something I don't get as much of in a conversation with 4 to 8 other people sadly so one on one for me thank you.
     
    One-on-one, for sure. tbh sometimes I barely can keep focus in a one-on-one chat. Forget it for bigger convos. A smaller one of 2-4 other people, I can handle somewhat. After 4, though, I just can't follow. It's fun to watch, but I won't participate, because by the time I think of something, they've moved on already.
     
    It depends on the person tbh. Some people I can talk to for ages one on one and for it to not be weird/awkward at all, while there's others where I just... can't. Those people I prefer to get in group conversations, etc. THEN as for the former people, either works, though one on one is probably easier. I can do both though so ya.
     
    Even if we are many people together, I'd rather just have one-on-ones. It's easier to concentrate on a topic, and my social skills are better in short distances XD
     
    Wow many people prefer one-on-one! But anyway, offline I definitely find one-on-one more comfortable, I'm not really a group person etc you know the drill. Online though I love group convos (like on MSN or IRC), it's a bit chaotic but it's FUN. I like one-on-one convos too though.
     
    One-on-one definitely, because I think you get a much better feel for who the person is that you're talking to when they're alone as opposed to when they're in a group. Groups bring expectations of how you should be, it's harder to be yourself in a group.
     
    Online, I prefer one-on-one. It's less confusing that way. IRL, I'm fine with either, though I still do prefer one-on-one since in my experience, when too many people are involved in conversation, someone's voice gets drowned out. And often times, that someone is me :/
     
    The ideal conversation for me would be participating in a small group convo of about 3-5 people. It's large enough to get a lot of ideas flowing without being too large to become intimidating. If forced to choose between the binary options above, however, I'd have to go with a one-on-one. Large groups can intimidate me, especially if I don't know a lot of the people.
     
    I guess one on one if it's someone I'm meeting for the first time. I find it difficult to get to know someone when I'm around other people. It makes me very self concious about what I'm saying and I might not ask something I normally would because of fear of being judged.
    If it's with friends though, or people I know pretty well I don't mind the odd group conversation. I think there's a maximum of four people in there though because otherwise I tend to get lost in the conversation.
     
    Online = One on one. I find group chats to be annoying and too fast paced so no one can get a word in edgeways and people just end up having their own chats in the big chat.

    RL = one on one and group. Much different and I don't mind either.​

    Offline, doesn't matter. Single person because it's more intimate and personable. Unless it's like a situation where I formed a close clique-like / tight friendship or something of the sort with a few people that developed as a tight friendship between a group of people (like my most recent set of friends). Then I'd prefer to be in a group setting with the two of them and myself doing things together. But those two got together and I'm the third wheel and we haven't gone out in soooo long. :[

    Online, I tend to only talk to three people. I think group conversation are easier because I tend to tell them all mostly the same things anyway (if we're talking about me).
