Casual friendliness is characteristic for Americans and should not be mistaken for closed friendship, which is usually developed over a period of time. Americans call each other by their first names much sooner and more often than do people of most other countries. It may take you a little time to learn some of the American small manners and customs. Americans usually shake hands when they meet, but a man does not shake a woman’s hand unless she offers it to him. Introductions are simple: “Mr. Smith, Mr. Crown”, or “Bob Smith, John Crown,” or “Bob, John”. For a more formal introduction, you may say, “Mr. Smith, may I introduce Mr. Crown?” When you are introduced to someone you usually say “How do you do?” or “It’s nice to meet you”. You can say a simple “Hello” to an informal introduction. When you introduce a man to a woman, say the woman’s name first. |
