We aren't close enough for you to call me "Kimmy", bucko.
And if you weren't talking about this lady, who lives above you, and who keeps you awake at all hours ( you did say that right?) then who are you talking about?
Now kimmy you should relax & chill. The op was just asking a simple question. Hes obviousely a people person.
Wow!
I can see why I live on a street block where no one talks to one another. We have only introduced ourselves to the neighbor next to us. The neighbor on the other side is nowhere to be ever found and we have knocked on other homes nearby and nobody answers. We left a note saying hi and our phone number and that was it. If they ever need a cup of sugar, I'm not giving it to them and I'm not asking for their help either since folks want to be so private.

Yeah, tell me about it. The majority of responders to this thread automatically call a guy who wants to say hi to a single woman living above him a stalker. I think the problem is that these same responders are too influenced by the media about crime and stuff to realize there are actually good people in this world who just want to be nice to their neighbors now and then.

Well at least you tried. I guess they didn't answer because either a) they were afraid you were a solicitor, b) they live alone and are scaredy cats or c) they are "private" people who don't care about those around them.
In my case, I was thinking of leaving my number in a nice card and telling the neighbors that if they want to practice sometime, we could do an English-Spanish language exchange. Otherwise, if they wanted to say hi, here's my # and leave it up to them.

I'm thinking it is answer C. We had workout clothes on, no clipboard or anything of the sort. Ah well. Keep your head up Value and no worries, you'll find a neighbor you'll click with here or the next place you move to.
OK enough bickering ladies and gents. Now that I've collected opinions about whether or not it's a good idea to get to know your apartment neighbors, it's time to take some action. I'm planning to either drop a card with a nice message in the mailbox or mail it to her. I know her name (the LL told me) and another neighbor confirmed it. I can address it directly to her and say something like,
Hi Luisa,
My name is VAW and I'm you're new neighbor. I met your son and he seems like a great guy, you must be so proud. While I've met a few other neighbors, unfortunately you and I haven't crossed paths yet. I'd like to get to know my neighbors and practice my Spanish which I understand you're fluent in. Would you like to practice your English with me? The next time you're outside and you want to say hi, feel free to ring the bell or call me at .......
All the best and say hi to Enrique (her son) for me.
