What does ''rate-limited'' mean when talking to your friends on aim?

It means that you have been sending too many ims at the same time so you would have to wait 10 minutes or if it doesn't work than you will have to make a new account.

It usually means you have sent too many IMs in a short amount of time. This will usually stop in a few seconds.

It depends on what he's talking about. It could be good or bad. If it's good. He probably likes you. If it's bad, he doesn't like you.

He's probably proud of you, he likes you and wants to share that with his friends

Means he's not ready for something, or thathe's found another gal. :D Sorry about that...if this guy is a friend, i would say take things slow. get to know him first before just asking him out right...
