Thanks for talking with me.

As I told you some time ago, you cannot use the gerund as a verbal noun.

Moreover, when you say "Grazie per/di", past infinitive tense must be used. In this case "aver parlato".

"Grazie per/di aver parlato con me"

"Aver" = "Avere"

As I said before, when you say "Grazie per/di", past infinitive tense [ never present infinitive ] must be used. That's a fixed rule.
The same appens with many other expressions, when there's "di" + verb [ always present infinitive ] and "per" + verb [ present or past infinitive, depending on when the action takes place ].

i.e.:

Penso di essere bravo a cantare
[ "I think I'm good at singing" ]

Penso di essere stato bravo a cantare
[ "I think I was good at singing" ]

Not at all, but you should avoid to overwork. ;)

lol perhaps, sorry if I complain sometimes but I really want to learn. Hey, can you please help me understand the "past infinitive tense" I looked everywhere and can't find a listing of how this verb is used in this tense. Also, the sentence "Grazie per aver parlato con me," Why no used the "Passato Prossimo" and say "hai parlato?" ok grazie

so do i necessarily have to leave off the end vocale or can I leave it as you have here. Also, can you write out the past infinitive tense for the verb "avere?" I understand the usage but need to see it. Maybe, that will help.

Can you do it with the verb "parlare?"

When you use the past infinitive, “essere” e “avere” can lose the ending vowel, but it's not mandatory.
"Aver + past participle" is more common than "Avere + past participle".
BUT
"Essere + past participle" is more common than "Esser + past participle".

Here are examples of past infinitives:

"Avere" => "Aver(e) avuto"
"Essere" => "Esser(e) stato"
"Parlare" => "Aver(e) parlato"
