Politeness
Hi everyone , I would ask to you all a question about politeness . I'm a subscriber of as site almost like italki , without professional teachers .
When I did my research the site proposed me a series of names . One of them seemed perfect based on my search criteria .
In her answer I read that she did not use neither whatsapp nor skype . I wrote back that it's a shame because those apps are very usefull for language learners . She replyed angrily : "you better be carefull in your email .... bla bla bla " . Basically she said that I was rude and asked me to not contact her in the future . Well , I'm not a stalker and I will not contact her but it would be nice receive a feedback from other people .
Thanks for reading my broken english . Any suggestions will be appreciated .

It's hard to say anything without seeing what you wrote, except that this person obviously felt you were rude. Perhaps what you thought was a polite suggestion she felt was bossy and rude. She obviously could use other apps if she wanted to, so the fact that she will not use these for language learning suggests perhaps she has had bad experiences before, or is cautious about who she gives her contact details to (I am too). So why not cut her some slack, and approach other possible people more carefully :)
