What does this mean when people say it. It's really annoying. Do you think people mean it literally when they say it if your being introduced and stuff??

I say it to wind people up :)

They always wonder whether it is good or bad ;)

Could be worse - they could say
"I've read a lot about you on the Internet" :Yikes:

Yeah that would be bad.....or something like "I know alot about you as I've been stalking you".

I normally say "I've heard a lot about you" when other people have talked to me about that person and I'm interested to find out more about them.

well take it this way, you must be an interesting character if they`ve heard a lot about you.

Let's say the phrase has connotations. Good ones, bad ones; who knows!

It's what people say when they haven't a clue who you are but you look like someone they should know

It is also a post that comes up on different forums under different handles. A cynic might argue it is an attempt to lend credence to a spamming account.

This is the 21st thread you have started, and you haven't posted again in any of them, why is that ?

and his website (business) doesn't have any contact details except eMail - no phone or address. I was always warned not to deal with any online business that would not give a phone number or address.

A little dig in the whois reveals that this maybe a one man band operation, hence the lack of address and phone details.

I get very wary when someone says that to me. I immediately assume it is something bad. Must have a guilty conscience about something. :Yikes:

If I dislike someone after a first conversation*, I like to say (with a smile on my face) "I've heard a lot about you, and I now know that not all of it is true. Nice to have met you - bye!"**




* Doesn't happen often, actually.
