If you are chatting, just using a secure chat server (like Yahoo, AIM, etc.), the other person cannot find your IP address. However, if you use some peer-to-peer service in the chat program (like CTCP in IRC), they can find your IP address, because in this case you are communicating directly with each other instead of through a server, which can hide your IP address from the other person.
