brahman Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Every time I think to use it all I can think about is how it sounds. Like if I wanted to bring up something about someone, like, "I noticed you said this the other day," or, "I noticed you were wearing this...." It just seems like an impersonal word. Does anyone have any suggested alternative words to sound more personal? Link to comment
offplanet Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think it IS a personal type of word. Can you explain more what you don't like about it? Link to comment
brahman Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 No, I'm just a crazy that doesn't know why he feels the way he does, lol. I'm sure I am just freaking slightly because I'm writing a letter to a girl I like. Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Erm you could say 'I remember the other day' But I dont think its impersonal really. Link to comment
offplanet Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 yes, saying 'I remember...' would be a good alternative, then. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 "It seemed that you were" "It appeared that you were" "It came to my attention that you were" "Based on this I thought" "I was alerted that you were" Really, any phrase that shows that the person has recognized something subtle is the beginning to a personal conversation. You have to know someone enough to "notice" that something is off. Link to comment

mfan Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 How about "I couldn't help noticing that..."? Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 "I noticed (HEARD?) you said this the other day," or, "I noticed (SAW?) you were wearing this...." Link to comment
mca1975 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 How about "I gathered..." ! or "I reckoned..." Link to comment
dr_styles Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 You might want to be careful about the "memory" ones if it looks like the girl isn't into you at all - she'll be wondering why you looked and remembered the first occasion Link to comment
TasmineFr Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 how about....when you said that.....I wanted to say that..... Link to comment
