Self-Introductions
What happens when there's no one around to do the introducing for you? Suppose you’re at a party and see an interesting-looking person you want to meet. The introduction might go like this:
You: Hi there. Are you enjoying the party?
- It's okay. I don't know many people here.
You: Well, let me introduce myself, and you'll know one more person.
I'm Pat Bordon. Who are you?
Girl: Natasha Wolinski. I just moved in next door. Do you live in the building?
You: Now but I have some good friends who do. I'll be glad to introduce you to them tonight.
Girl: Thanks. That would be nice.
Or what if you're supposed to pick up a business client at the airport, and you've never met him, but you know what he looks like? Here's another dialogue to illustrate how the self-introduction works:
You: Mr. Franks? I'm Jerry Kominami. It's nice to meet you finally - after all
these months of corresponding.
Client: It's good to meet you, too. (They shake hands.) Please call me George.
You: Thank. Call me Jerry.
Here are some ways to begin self-introductions. Remember that the same "rules" about background or some personal information that apply to third-party introductions apply to self-introductions. After you have introduced yourself, give the person some information about yourself or ask the person a question about himself or herself to have a basis for beginning a light conversation.
It's not usually necessary for you to ask, 'And who are you?' after you have introduced yourself because most people will naturally follow with something like
> It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. My name is ... (Formal)
> Hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm ...
> Hi, I'm ... Nice meeting you, too. .
> Good to meet you. I'm ...
1. Excuse me, I don't think we've met before. I'm Tim Brufier.
2. - You must be Ray.
- That's right. Ray Starr.
- I'm Fred Harrison. I've been looking forward to meeting you.
3. May I introduce myself, I'm Linda Monk.
4. Hi, I'm Max Butler.
Responding to Introductions
Responses to introductions don't have to be very complicated or elaborate; they are usually quite simple because there are only a few set expressions we use in responding. So, after С had introduced A and B, the responses might be as follows (from formal to informal):
> How do you do, B?
> It's a pleasure to meet you. (Formal)
> I'm delighted to meet you/to make your acquaintance.
> - (I'm) pleased to meet you.
- Yes, it's nice to meet you. too.
> - Hello. Good to meet you.
- Nice meeting you, too.
> - Hi, B. Nice to meet you.
- Same here. (Informal)
> - Nice/good to meet you.
- My pleasure.
- Delighted.
> Hi!
Note: How do you do? is not a real question and doesn't need an answer (it is not i lie same as 'How are you doing?'); it is used mostly in formal introductions.
