Etiquette for girls: rules and culture of communication

To become a real lady, it is not enough to look well-groomed and dress tastefully. The main thing is to be a diversified and cultured person, whose communication manners and behavior in society do not cause any complaints. And even if you are a “rebel” in life, it is simply necessary to know the rules of female decency and etiquette. After all, each of us would like to have the respect of others, feel authority at work, fully communicate with friends and have an impeccable reputation in society. In fact, behind the success of every woman is a lot of work on herself.

Agree, there are situations when a beautiful girl is not at all interesting as an interlocutor, or, conversely, an ugly girl attracts everyone's attention with her intellect, the ability to present herself and keep up a conversation in society.

The elementary rules of good manners are based primarily on internal culture and restraint. This means that you need to monitor your emotions and sometimes keep silent where you want to throw out anger.If someone accidentally pushes or hits you in public transport, the easiest way is to be indignant. However, a real lady will not pay attention to this or will politely turn to the passenger with a request to be careful.

As you know, modesty adorns any girl, so do not get involved in disputes or showdown, especially if the issue does not concern you. Do not try to show your superiority in dialogue and do not humiliate the interlocutor.

Let's start with the form of greeting, when you need to show your attitude towards a person. The method of greeting will depend on who it is addressed to and what kind of relationship you have with a particular person. You can greet distant acquaintances simply in words, kiss a close friend or relative on the cheek or hug. And remember: the one who is better brought up is the first to greet, so do not be afraid to greet the interlocutor first. At the same time, avoid too violent emotions so as not to attract the attention of others.

Remember that going to visit without a prior call or invitation is extremely impolite. Try to avoid visiting too early or too late to be out of place. The time from 12 to 18 hours will be optimal, of course, if you were not invited for a certain reason and at a certain time. Don't show up empty-handed. This rule is especially true if the owners of the house have children. As a sign of attention, be sure to buy sweets for them.

Remember that a well-mannered person is never late, and if something delays you on the way, be sure to call the owners and warn them. When entering the house, say hello to all guests. The extreme manifestation of lack of culture and disrespect for the interlocutor is talking on the phone and reading messages, so it’s better to forget about the phone at the table. And if the incoming call is important, just apologize and step aside to ask the interlocutor to call back later.

In the company of guests, you should not discuss negative points or pressing problems - this, in principle, is of no interest to anyone, and the atmosphere will be hopelessly spoiled. Try to start a casual conversation and charge those around you with exceptionally positive emotions.

If a man invited you to a restaurant, this does not mean at all that he should pay. The phrase "I invite ...", of course, implies that he will pay. If such an invitation was not followed, then everyone pays his own bill. If you go to a restaurant with your boyfriend, remember that a real gentleman will always let the lady go first. He will first give you the menu, and at the end he will make an order.

Before the start of the meal, a cotton napkin is placed on your knees. It is worth starting a meal when all the guests already have dishes. An exception is if the interlocutor himself offers you not to wait for the others and start the meal. When you are finished with your meal, place the cutlery parallel on the plate - this will be a sign for the waiter that you can clean the table. If you want to pause and exit, for example, to the restroom, put the appliances crosswise.

You should also not rush too much, even if you are hungry, talk while chewing food or put your elbows on the table. Yes, and “digging” in your boyfriend’s plate, choosing the best pieces, is also very uncivilized - this is advice for those girls who think that such behavior is acceptable and even somewhat pretty. Nothing of the kind - a real lady will never allow herself frivolities at the table.

If it happens that you spill or spill something on the tablecloth, wipe off excess liquid with a napkin until the waiter replaces your cutlery and tablecloth.

The rules of conduct in relations between a woman and a man are not at all a relic of society, but the basis of long-term relationships between partners. Of course, every man would like to see in his chosen one, first of all, sincerity, feminine and refined manners and understanding in everything. Beauty is an absolutely secondary concept, more precisely, inner beauty is much more important than outer beauty. Guys appreciate the ease of behavior, while they need to feel stronger next to you - your protector.

If a girl is a little late for a date, this should not be considered a violation of etiquette, this is just an unspoken rule of all girls so that the partner is a little worried and has the opportunity to mentally think about your relationship again. But one thing is to be late for 5 minutes, and the other for half an hour, so draw conclusions about whether the guy will wait for you.He can easily interpret being late as a neglect of him, which, in principle, is not so far from the truth.

A man, contrary to outdated rules, should not carry a woman's handbag at all, but helping with heavy things is his duty. If it is raining outside, a man wears an umbrella, of course, if he is taller than a woman or the same height as her.

Learn to properly respond to gifts and say not just “thank you” - express gratitude with warm words and pay attention to the delicate taste when choosing a present.

The rules and culture of communication at work are especially important, because they are a kind of pass to the "business" world. Business success and career growth often depend on the ability to communicate and build the right relationships with colleagues and partners. At the workplace, be punctual, avoiding lateness and neglect of working time. Competent speech is the basis of the basics: in this way you will show the interlocutor not only the intellectual level of development, but also business acumen. It is unacceptable to use colloquial phrases and so-called parasitic words - this applies to written business speech.

Dress code at work is an important component of success. Take care of a neat hairstyle, discreet classic style in clothes and tastefully selected jewelry. Business etiquette provides for the ability to listen to your opponent, leading the most constructive dialogue.

So, the most important thing in everyday communication of every woman is modesty, femininity and a sense of tact in communication.No need to be intrusive or put yourself above others - you should always weigh your words and do wise deeds inherent in a real lady. In any situation, do not show selfishness and put yourself in the place of the interlocutor. Know the measure in everything, do not play "in public" and do not pretend to be someone you are not.

In a word, Be yourself, while trying not to take everything too emotionally. Leave your feelings and your opinion about the situation or a particular person to yourself, because even with a glance you can show how you feel about this or that situation, and there is no need for empty talk.
