I agree, that's like calling yourself -sama. The Japanese are really picky about respect to others and being prideful. Even if you don't intend it, it kind of gives off the underlying tone and makes them very uncomfortable (like constantly calling them あなた, it sounds like you're accusing them).

I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site here!

[Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee]
