Am I seen as being stand-offish if I don't wave at them too, although I haven't been introduced to them and have never even seen them before?

Just smile warmly. That way when you do meet them, they will think you are a nice person already. And in the future (when you see them again) work up to a smile and nod, then a wave...ask him to introduce you to them, or take the initiative and introduce yourself...maybe he hasn't introduced you because he has forgotten their names!

I am from the South so we wave and speak to everyone. But I think it is nice to at least smile and maybe nod. I'd probably give a little wave. You won't seem stand-offish if you at least smile. But ask him to introduce you or introduce yourself to seem even more friendly.

Basically what you are asking is whether there is an etiquette issue if a person you are close to waves to a person who is a stranger to you. I think that waving at a stranger is an optional thing. People can and do wave at strangers, to show friendliness, but it is not required.
BTW: I do not know what "opp" means.

Forgive my presumption yet I experience it extremely is greater desirable than an off-the-cuff present for an off-the-cuff acquaintance. Are we actually speaking a pair of present that shows you have an pastime without being obtrusive and seeming 'person-friendly'? i do no longer think of it may be incorrect to take it to his residing house while passing (assuming it extremely is possible to be passing) despite the fact that it must be awkward. you would be putting him on the spot, with an expectation of a reaction. He ought to prefer to respond while he has time to assemble his strategies yet ought to debris it up while taken by potential of ask your self. that is embarrassing for the two considered one of you and not what you like. am i able to point posting it to him with a astonishing card (needless to say such as your call, address, cellular variety and e mail address). because it extremely is a birthday modern, are you able to devise for it to reach in time for his birthday? If he's well mannered, he will respond to thank you. This creates an risk which you may start speaking/texting (or despite you desire) yet without the awkwardness of turning up on his doorstep. possibly you need to then recommend assembly for a celebratory drink .... Sorry if I easily have examine it incorrect despite the fact that it style of feels unlikely you would be asking this question till you like the courting to be a splash much less informal. it extremely is stable. Politeness is in no way incorrect. stable success.

You don't have to wave to anyone you don't know. However, I know a man who sits out front to relax and waves to all the cars that go by and they all wave back..

If you don't know them and don't feel any inclination to wave at them, a curt nod or quick smile is the polite thing to do.

What harm would it do to give a small wave and a big smile?
