The ability to correctly represent people to each other in society is due to the rules of etiquette. It is important to know who and how to introduce, the rules of procedure. Thus, the impression is created about the upbringing of a person as a whole and his behavior in society.
Instructions
Step 1
Introduce a man to a woman, a younger person to an older person, and an employee to a manager. If you are introducing peers or people of equal status to each other, you should introduce the person closer to you first, for example, your brother, to your acquaintance. A well-known, honored person, representing people, is called their names unilaterally (it is assumed that the name of a person is already known to everyone).
Step 2
Introduce your sister, wife, husband, children with the words "my wife", "my brother", etc. An exception to the rule is acquaintance with the mother or father, all people are introduced to their parents, and not vice versa.
Step 3
Pronounce the person's first and last name clearly when introducing or introducing them to someone. If you are not sure in your memory about the personal data of other people, you are afraid that you will pronounce them incorrectly, it is advisable to suggest: "Please meet …".
Step 4
Ask the person's first and last name, if you did not hear them, this is permissible. When addressing, you must not distort the name. Refine the data tactfully and that's it.
Step 5
Shake your hand to the person after being introduced to you. The woman holds out her palm to the man, the elder gives it to the younger, the leader - to the subordinate. If you have been introduced to someone, wait until a new acquaintance initiates a handshake.
Step 6
Please note that the man who was introduced, in case he is sitting, must stand up. A woman does this if she is introduced to an older woman or an older man. Young girls are advised to get up when meeting adults.
Step 7
Introduce in a large society, introduce a person at once to all the guests or those present, calling his name, patronymic and surname. The hostess or host introduces guests to each other. The new arrivals are waiting to be introduced.
Step 8
Observe street etiquette. If you are walking with someone and suddenly meet a friend, you do not need to introduce your companion unless the meeting is long. The satellite should step aside and wait. If the conversation drags on, you need to introduce strangers to each other. If you do not want to do this, just end the conversation so as not to keep yourself waiting long.
Step 9
You may not introduce yourself to people or neighbors in a compartment or seat if you are on the road (on a train, on an airplane, on a steamer, etc.). You should only do this if the conversation reveals identical interests, hobbies, etc.
Step 10
Being a guest in a hotel or being on vacation in a sanatorium and meeting strangers at a common table, it is not necessary to get to know each other. Here you can restrict yourself to a slight bow while greeting your fellow diners. This gesture is enough for people to draw conclusions about the respect shown.
