[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 233956, member: 6479"] Aww, I like "No problem". I'm in agreement with some of the previous posters. To me, "You're welcome" implies I did you a favor. When I tell someone "no problem", it's saying, "It was no problem for me to do it for you, I did it gladly". It's the English equivalent of "de nada". It's nothing, it's not a problem, it's such a small thing I'm uncomfortable with you even thanking me for it. Actually, that's really it. I do say "you're welcome", but only when it's a BIG deal. I use "no problem" when it's a minor thing, something that it literally was NO problem for me to do. I usually pair "no problem" with a shy grin and a shake of my head, too. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
