Thanks a ton masaegu. I'm still a little confused regarding sounding cold using dictionary forms... (I already sent the revised version but I haven't got response yet) What should I do to avoid sounding cold? End every sentence with ね?
But seriously, now I'm paranoid. I had no idea using dictionary forms and だ/だった sounded robotic. I don't really know how to put this in question form but, can you give me some tips? I'm so inexperienced in Japanese conversation. >< Maybe I should go back and look at manga and drama dialogues...
