this isn't always true.. I dated a girl for a while and she did that constantly (i got onto her case a bit for it), but it was mainly due to the fact she didn't care much for aim... she rarely goes online at all anymore..

although, you are right about the setting their friends aside.. this girl would actually log in just to talk to me, but the conversations were still pretty much one word replies...

however, you won't know this until you actually get to know the girl and realize how she acts, so I would agree with the not reading too much into any aim conversation.
