Reading thought

Sometimes I wish I could read minds. Not like in the movie and know each and every thought the people have but, being able to have some hint, to ears some whisper from targeted people thought.
I would like to understand body language with a small extra mind reading.
I'm sure it would help me to understand the people that are around me and I'm interested in. I would understand quickly if I pissed off people around me, if the next joke I will do will be too much, I would know where and when to go or stay, would know if someone is interested in me or not and would not stuck around thinking I still have a chance (worst case that happen in high school ages ago)
This morning I saw that Garfield cartoon in the journal about John meeting his... I'll say "new girlfriend" for the first time and he was able to chat with her only on the phone. Too shy i guess.
I found that funny because I was asking my self, why is it easier to write (chat) than speak when meeting someone?

FA+

Chat is more artifical and less of reality but easier to communicate so, the real meeting* of someone is often therefore more complex and hard.
Especially because it happens that you have nothing to say suddenly, not necessary by intention.
And the fact that chat is anonymous, so especially shy people are than sometimes much more brave and open minded... this can altough create a distorted picture of each other.
However, chat is not the same than the reality outside.
*telephone calls can be already definate so for some people
