Thank you .
But please don't repeat it. I won't entertain. It is rude to comment on the stranger? |
Normally in a forum I would not comment on the way someone chose to express themselves beyond what was relevant to the question. However, this is a forum for people learning English, and, as I say, non-native speakers can sometimes pick up odd expressions and continue using them inappropriately for a long time because everyone is too polite to correct them. Therefore, I thought I was potentially helping you in case you didn't understand the sort of situations to which "love you" is normally restricted. I didn't mean to offend you, and I'm sorry if it came across in that way. |
No need to say sorry, Dozy!!! He is the one who should be sorry!!!
Ok, I have something that I've always wanted to say to you.
Ok, here goes:
I LOVE YOU! :P
Cheer up! |

I'd like to share a proverb with Mr. Kyaw:
Unpleasant advice is a good medicine.
To me, I am here to learn English and the way native speakers use words and phrases. If I were you, I would appreciate it because Dozy said something you have never ever questioned about. |

| Hi Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin, being so defensive when someone trying to make constructive advice toward you is quite unreasonable, don't you think so? You may probably think that Dozy is rude, BUT I'd be more happier to label him as one of the most obliging friend that is very, very dear to my heart. |

Right - that's it. I thought we had something special, but no, it turns out that you are enamoured with Dozy. We're through! :P
