Meeting People
The handshake is the common form of greeting.
The most common greeting upon introduction is the question, "How are you?", which is a rhetorical question and the accepted response is to repeat the question or to simply say, "Fine. And you?"
Another greeting is "Good to meet you."
When addressing someone, use their name as it was stated during the introduction.
At social gatherings, it is a good idea to allow your host to introduce you to other guests. If it is a large gathering and your host is otherwise engaged, you may introduce yourself.
