Most popular at the top level since the top level existed has been the Ruy Lopez. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 and black will often respond 3. ... a6 where white has two very viable options in Ba4 (most popular) and Bxc6 which is also interesting.

I said not involving the move Nf3 and the Move Bc4 and alternatives

Which is why I said Bb5 instead of Bc4 :) ... if you don't want 2. Nf3 you're gonna need to 1. Reword the question, and 2. play f4 :).

No name 1.e4 e5 2.d4
That's a lot of information you can use to determine your next move.
i like e4 e5
That is a normal opening for me
That is what happens usally with me
There is nothing wrong with the very quiet game, you should probaly keep playing it
The Latvian Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f5 is great fun for Black.
Beware in CC though, as there are several lines which easily maintain a solid plus for White.
this is just an idea so don't say anything was bad
Anybody got an opinion what to play against e4 e5 apart from Nf3 Bc4
Or any white ideas
