I like you


Explanation:
I don't understand why a man should write to a woman that he was pleased to get to know her/meet her. I would only imagine this situation when a man wants to get out with somebody, and given his shyness he would write to her or to some of them to say that he likes them, so that he gets the message across...

agree  Mirelluk: Previous answers are all perfect. But I think you are right: it must be in a letter/card describing how much he enjoyed meeting her.

Was nice to meet you


Explanation:
I he "wrote" it, then he had already left the bar and would have to leave the note in the past tense!!

Sorry: If he \"wrote\" it........my keyboard is getting old!!

Si, si - me falló la lógica: he could have \"written\" the note and stayed in the bar. It just sounds like he wrote it and left!! Otherwise, he could have said it personally in the present tense!!but he didn´t, did he?
The sentence is not the best English anyway. It would sound better as: A man wrote this statement to a woman in a bar.
Although \"mucho gusto\" is not much of a statement......so we should rewrite it as \"A man wrote the following to a woman in a bar: \"Mucho Gusto\"! But we would still have to know if he left after writing it and the pleasure of meeting her was in the past tense, or is he stayed in the bar and was trying to chat her up! and was talking present tense.
