lazula  +  95480 Mon, 02 May 05 02:20 PM Hi group, I was wondering if warm regards is something a male would say to a male in a post. Is this normal. Or is it just female to male or male to female kind of way to end a post. To be more specific what if the male is from the UK. P.S. My name seems to be misleading people so....I am a male.

	bvpraveen  +  96076 Wed, 04 May 05 01:31 PM During the end of a conversation, which one should be used? 1) Nice meeting you. 2) It was nice meeting you. I think we can use either of them. bvpraveen Joined on Sat, Mar 5 2005 Coimbatore, India Regular Member 507 Please feel free to correct my grammatical mistakes. Conversations

	Mister Micawber  +  96084 Wed, 04 May 05 01:55 PM You're right. #1 is just a casual, truncated form of #2. Mister Micawber

	bvpraveen  +  96389 Thu, 05 May 05 03:01 PM Thanks MrM. Meanwhile, what should the response for these expressions (The "receiver" responses are just my guesses): 1) Sender : Nice to meet you. Receiver : very nice to meet you. 2) Sender : Glad to meet you. Receiver: ????????? 3) Sender : Nice meeting you. Receiver: sth like 'pleasure is mine....', I don't remember it. bvpraveen

	Mister Micawber  +  96618 Fri, 06 May 05 06:20 AM There are no set-in-stone responses, BV. You can mix and match pretty freely: 1. R: Nice to meet you / nice to meet you too / nice meeting you too / very nice to meet you too / the pleasure's mine / good to meet you too / glad to meet you too / etc. 2. R: Glad to meet you too / the pleasure's mine / etc. as above. 3. R: Nice meeting you too / etc. as above. As you can see, the frequent keyword is 'too'. Most common initially, I think, is just to repeat the phrase and add 'too': Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. This is sufficiently polite on first meeting. If at the end of the meeting and talking, you wish to particularly express your pleasure in the new acquaintance, then you can expand and be more creative and individual: S: It was very nice indeed to meet you. (for instance) R: The pleasure was all mine! (for instance) Mister Micawber

	bvpraveen  +  98069 Tue, 10 May 05 04:09 PM 1) What about meeting people during next time? ie second time, third time..... ("How do you do?", "How are you?",etc seems fine....... ) 2) Can we use the previously discussed sentences? 3) When meeting friends. bvpraveen
