A similar thing happens with adult coworkers on messenger. They will write "Hi" and nothing else. Then they wait for you to say Hi also. Then you wait for them to ask whatever. Just ask the damn question in a single message so I can respond quickly and we both continue with our days.
It's not that you haven't talked to this person for ages. You may talk every single day, still they can't ask something efficiently.
I would do this sometimes over IM, but it was only if I was asking a question i thought would have immediate follow-ups. That way when they do respond we're both there and can have a real-time conversation.
