No offence taken.

Crotalito, you cannot translate gustoso into likeble. I don't think this last word means what you meant in English. Am I right, native English speakers?

You should say: I only wanted to be nice with you.

Good luck.

Besides, I think that´s a very informal way of addressing someone you don´t know, it doesn´t sound very nice.
Thanks all for the warm welcome.

I didn't think Crotalito's post wasn't nice. I only thought Crotalito changed the sex (which, on the other hand, was impossible to know beforehand).

If Crotalito's post was informal and not nice, what's Elaina's post?

Anyway, I think formality is a cultural knowledge that varies from country to country, from town to town, from person to person.

Welcome to the forums!

It really doesn´t matter, at least not to me... I was only pointing out what I thought looked a bit out of line.
I´ve been told I´m still too set in the old ways.

You're right Alfonso.

Likeable is a word meaning amable, simpático.

OK, David, thanks a lot! I didn't know this word.
