Greeting is relative,The distance also matters, if the person he's greeting is close by,just a hi from you would do,not, ehen how's the family,did you go shopping,I lost your number could you give it to me again" kind of greeting, nahhh. Then if greeting is such a herculian task for you could just gently slide ur hand away from his when you see a potential greeter at 12'o clock, remember the key word is gently, maybe with a stroke from your other hand. |

@poster HELL YEAH!!!! doesnt he introduce you to these people anyway?! if he already has introduced you to them in the past then you SHOULD greet them. |
| Re: Is It Compulsory by Nobody: 4:46pm On May 17, 2011 |
if he introduces you to the person or you're also acquainted with that person. If not, you just walk on. |

Not necessarily. IF, they speak, then of course, out of common courtesy, I would speak back. But far as speaking to everyone he speaks too, it's not your duty too. I would politely smile at them and THEN if they say, hello, how are you, then I would say it back. Just because you are a "couple" doesn't mean you have to lose yourself completely. A smile should be sufficient and if you want to speak, then speak if not, then don't. I love my husband to death, Lord knows I would do nearly anything for that man, but when we are out and he greet people and talking to them. I don't trip over my foot trying to run and greet them. Now if my husband introduces me or whomever he speaks with introduce themselves to me, then livedit greets back. Other than that, a genuine pearle white smile is okay enough. |

^And yours was very helpful?Imagine if you would have used that space to say something useful other than jolly riding to that part of the screen that has insert quote. |

| Re: Is It Compulsory by 1one: 4:39am On May 18, 2011 |
Oh that's true, Sorry about that,went back to read it,at first it sounded as if you were replying to, "pls i need clear replies" and ur answer was Not at all(i.e nobody will give you clear answers). Sorry for the misread.Bonjour! |

[color=indigo]@topic: it depends. At times, a simple smile or nod of the head is good enough. If it is just a pass and go type of thing btn your guy and them then simply saying "hi/hello" or nodding your head to them is fine enough. If they stop and talk then that is different. You may not need to chime into the conversation but you could say 'hello'. At the end of the day it's just as KGDavid said "it depends on you". Simple. off topic: [size=4pt]Hmmmm. I might be tripping but I get the feeling 190 is not talking about the poster  but rather using this SIMPLE question to vent. [/size][/color] |

Well, for the sake of courtesy, you should I always do. A simple smile and hi/good-morning/afternoon/evening is enough. |

Yes if the person is someone known to you both Yes if the person is not known to you but your bf introduces you No if the person is not known to you and your bf can't be bothered to do the introduction |
