I am wondering if it is possible to specify which of my contacts will see if I have read their messages. I know I can turn on "send read receipts" in iMessage but that allows everyone to see if I have read their messages. I would really like it if there was some way to just have certain of my friends see that I have read their messages.

I don't believe this is possible at this time. Read receipts in iMessage appears to be an all-on or all-off option only.

That is already very obvious, I am just wondering if there is any other info out there that would allow me to do what I am trying to do. – Stephen Dec 17 '12 at 15:29

This is core iOS functionality. Aside from looking for jailbreak-community mods (which may or may not exist) or writing your own modification (would require jailbreak) you're gonna have to wait for Apple to decide to include this feature (which they may never).
