What is the first thing you usually do or say when you meet a person for the first time?

[Ginger]

I like to shake hands and in our culture, we Say " Sat Sri Akal" which means God is truth or truth is God. If I like the person then I don't mind start talking about different things like movies or cricket.

That depends why I am meeting that particular person and in what context and that's where I need to behave differently

If it's a business client, good morning and how do you do is enough that I can tell the person. But when it's a family member, loved one or relative, I will make sure to know if all is well and how life is treating them.

I don't. I wait for them to make the first move. I don't trust strangers.

I don't have a specific answer to this though. There are lots of factors to consider such as my reason for meeting the person or when and where I am meeting them.

No matter who I am meeting for the first time, I tend to feel free and let the conversation flow. There is no point being rigid unless they end up acting that way towards me.

Maybe, a hello is the right thing to say. Also, it depends on what brought us together. If we had an arrangement to meet for the first time, then I will be open to the meeting.

What was so funny about my comment, our Damien?

Howdy is basically what I say to anyone whom I'm meeting for the first time. What they reply will determine how our conversation is going to hold up.
