At a party when you have to introduce a gentleman and a lady to one another whom do you introduce first?

Answer 1

It depends on the circumstances, but generally, you do both at once, "Mary, meet John."

You can say the lady's name first if you want, but there is only a second between names. So, that detail is actually irrelevant.

You DON'T say, "Mary this is John, John, this is Mary." That is obviously ridiculous and a waste of words.

You also don't say, "This is Mary Jacobs from Finance. We have worked together for three years and we both belong to Toastmasters. . . " and then finally introduce John. THAT is rude. You do both together.

Answer 2

You introduce the person you know first. If they both happen to be friends of yours,then you introduce the lady first.

Answer 3

The right manner is introduce the first whom you know later than the person you know before.

and if you know man first than that man would be introcued to lady first.

Answer 4
