When you greet a warm smile says it all, you do not have to say anything.

i like it when somebody gives me a good hand shake while saying how are you and with a sincere smile. i also like people who gave a tap on my shoulder. well on a festive occasion , i guess a sincere smile and hi or hello will do.

well don't mind but not everyone tries genuinely to find out how one is doing we just ask and don't care for their answers it is always the same reply that we r doing fine and we also reply saying that we r fine too this does not goes far but yes hi is the best one to start conversation

I always say hello it is nice to meet you. I usually shake their hand if I have never met them. If it is someone I know I will say hello how have you been and give them a hug.

It depends on the person and how close we are. Family and friends I greet with a smile, a hug or a handshake and a kiss on each cheek (I am of Italian background). People I meet for the first time I might shake hands and smile. If they are family of friends or someone I know from the internet then I am likely to kiss them on each cheek as well.

well this is good that u have different methods for greeting and it varies from occasion to occasion. it is better to have this. as u cant greet everyone in the same way .

No matter who I come across they always get a hi and a smile. I pay attention to their face and if it looks like they would like a chat I will try to strick up a conversation. Some people are on their way to work or on a tight schedule and for the most part that is what they let me know in a nice way. A smile most of the time brings a return smile and it makes a person feel warm inside to get a return response like that.

It depends on the person - if is a close friend - I usually say "Hey" or I have a pet or nickname I like to call them. If it is someone I work with, I usually say, "Hi (name), how are you?" I don't usually care if they answer back on how are you -- it is kind of rude, but I think most times people ask "how are you?" but they really don't expect (nor want) an answer other than, "I'm fine." It if is someone that I am just being interested to for the first time, I will say, "Hello (name), how are you today?"
