Please, I´m not a boy..., I´m a full grown woman.
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'm sorry lady, for the addressing, but it wasn't my intention.

Only I wanted to be likable with you.

Here are a couple of different ways to say this:

I'm sorry.
-or-
I'm sorry about the informality of my greeting.

It wasn't my intention to offend you.

I was only trying to be nice.
-or-
I was only trying to be friendly.

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.

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.
