I have listed some of the most common ways to say βNice to meet youβ below and included the responses from the other person, so you know what to say, no matter whether you speak first or second!

- 4) Itβs great connecting with you.
- 5) Iβve heard great things about you.
Formal:
- 1) Itβs a pleasure to meet you
- 2) Pleasure to meet you too
Formal (This is regarded as somewhat archaic by many people nowadays, as the question isnβt answered with the reciprocal same question, but it used to be spoken as a statement, not a question (without the raised intonation at the end):
- 1) How do you do?
- 2) How do you do?Β

Question from our student:
for greetings;
person a) βNice to meet youβ
responding person 2) βNice to be metβ
is this response polite, inappropriate, rude, unknown?
Answer:
In response to your question (person a) βNice to meet youβ
responding person 2) βNice to be metβ
is this response polite, inappropriate, rude, unknown?), I would say that it is unknown, and if ever used would probably come across as quite rudeβ¦
It is better to say that you are also happy to meet the other person. If you say you are glad that the other person is happy to meet you, it could make you seem quite arrogant!
I hope that answers your question.
