Young people often avoid communication with the opposite sex, not because they do not feel self-confidence, but because of a banal lack of knowledge of etiquette. How to say hello to a girl? Strange as it may seem, not everyone can answer such a question.

Of course, if the girl is an old acquaintance, for example, a classmate or a neighbor, then such a question is irrelevant. But when it comes to a pretty stranger who you want to make a good impression on, the rules of etiquette become important.

What should I do?

The main points of the rules on how to greet a girl do not depend on the proximity of the relationship. When greeting a young woman, one should:

• look into her eyes;
• raise the headgear, if any;
• say after "hello" a general phrase, for example, about good weather or "good to see you";
• smile.

These are the basic rules to follow when greeting a girl.

What not to do?

As a rule, when a guy greets a girl, he makes the following mistakes:

• violates her privacy by getting too close;
• shows familiarity in speech or uses obscene, slang words, slang;
• grabs her by the arms or tries to hug her shoulders, waist;
• looks away or at the ground;
• not smiling;
• speak through his teeth, speak too quietly or, conversely, loudly;
• says something unintelligible.

All this happens because of anxiety and lack of a clear understanding of how to behave. But not every girl will understand this. Most young women will come to the logical conclusion: before them is “some kind of jerk”, an ill-mannered boor or a bore. If a guy doesn't make eye contact and doesn't smile, then the girl immediately decides that she's not interested, and, of course, she won't seek to communicate.

Should we shake hands?

You should only greet a girl by the hand if she initiates this action. The handshake ritual itself is significantly different from the male. In the event that a young woman extends her hand, the man has two options for how to respond to this action.

The first option is to shake your fingers. It is the fingers, and not the whole palm, as is customary for a handshake between men.

The second option is to kiss the hand. As a rule, middle-aged men resort to kissing, among young people such a gesture is rare. But he impresses girls. Of course, you don’t need to slobber your fingers to a young woman or makesmacking sounds. A kiss from a distant man should be on the outer part of the hand, just above the bones of the base of the fingers. From a loved one - on the back of the hand or wrist. If a young man caring for a girl kisses the hand, then it is appropriate to touch your fingers with your lips.

What to talk about?

The concept of how to greet a girl properly implies not only the greeting itself, but also a couple of general, non-binding phrases. This is an important point that should not be neglected.

For example, if you say "hello" and nothing else, then there will be no reason for further communication. In response, the same short “hello” usually sounds, the girl continues to go about her business, or, if the meeting happened on the street, she goes further. Guys tend to sigh and also continue the activities that were interrupted by the meeting.

But the situation can completely change if you add the same banal “how are you” to the stereotyped “hello” and at the same time look the girl in the eyes, waiting for an answer. Usually young women say that they are doing well and ask a similar question. You can answer whatever you like, because the dialogue has already begun.

That is, the meaning in any phrase that complements the greeting. This is the chance for communication. These phrases may not lead to a long conversation, but in any case they will contribute to establishing contact. And this means that after a couple of such greetings, the girl will begin to perceive the guy as a good friend or even a friend.

What to consider?

Modern etiquette is not particularlyrestricts a young man in how to greet a girl. It was much more difficult for young gentlemen of the century before last, because there were much more various conventions in life.

When thinking about how best to say hello to a young woman, you should clearly understand who she is. You need to greet a friend or neighbor differently than with a lover or a girl for whom there is sympathy. The greeting said for a colleague should be different from how you greet a friend's girlfriend or your own girlfriend. And, of course, the degree of intimacy and age of acquaintance affects the greeting.

What to focus on?

There is a little psychological trick in how to greet a girl so that she is pleased and communication develops. It consists in the perception and repetition of her communication style, the so-called mirroring.

This means that you need to greet a young woman in the same way as she does herself. For example, if a girl hugs or kisses her on the cheek when meeting, then one should not assume that this is a sign of a manifestation of feelings. Most likely, this is how it is customary to greet people in her family or company. No need to be embarrassed or push the young woman away, on the contrary, you should behave in a similar way, but without crossing the line. That is, do not squeeze the girl hard and for a long time.

The same can be attributed to the manner of speaking, and much more. However, this style of greetings, that is, duplication of the girl's behavior, is only suitable for communicating with relaxed and active people.women. Shy women should be greeted according to the traditional rules of etiquette.
