It depends on why they are saying Thank You.
If you open a door for someone, saying your welcome is polite.
If you have just made someone very happy, saying my pleasure is because you were happy to be doing what ever it was you did.
Hope this helps.

Generally you're welcome is sufficient although I've been known to say no problem! with a smile, depends on what the situation is. Helping someone across a street, no problem, opening a door for someone ,no problem, after giving someone a gift and hopefully they say thank you, then it's a you're welcome.

"You're welcome" or "You are welcome" are the traditional replies.

Some more "current" or "trendy" replies are:
1. No problem, happy to help.
2. No worries.
3. Glad to be of service.
4. Have a nice day.
5. Don't mention it.

Your very welcome.

Your welcome.

It's common social courtesy that communicates appreciation and acknowledgment in reply to "thank you". Is also the result of the understanding of value in friendship and respect for exchanging good manners.

My kids always say " No Prob"& its fine with me.I don't think there is any set rule to follow here.I mean the BOOK tells you to say Thant You- You're Welcome. Butdon't you thine we have come further than that.We shouldwrite another book.But I think as long as you are sincere in how you answer than that should be O.K.

You're welcome:) Of course; you say this in the expectation that down the road that same person will say the same when you say thank you to them. Spread the cheer and cheer is spread.

You're welcome or my pleasure depends on the situation or the person. Someyimes I even say - no problems if I helped someone and they say that you.

"You are welcome"
"My pleasure"
"It was a delight to serve you"


It really depends on the situation

I say "thank you" because that's what my parents and teachers taught me in school. "Mention not" may sound kinda snippy although "don't mention it" sounds just a bit more polite.
