People communicate in different situations. But no matter how popular it is to meet in cafes, restaurants and other public places, the most common form of communication is visiting friends, relatives or friends at their home. How correctly to go on a visit on etiquette?
Ethics: how to go to visit?
The unexpected guest not only will not please owners, but also will take them by surprise. Therefore, it is unethical to go to visit without warning and invitation. If you need to go to a friend to solve a question, it is better to ask him by phone or in person, at what time it is convenient for you to come. By tradition, guests do not go late at night and early in the morning. According to the etiquette, guests go to the guests from 12 hours to 20 hours. An exception for very close people or for relatives. They may go on a visit without an invitation.
At the entrance to the apartment feet need to wipe on the rug and shortly call the door. You can come to visit with a change of shoes. A woman, if she came for a little while, may not undress. Children can be taken with them if the owners have their children.
If the guest was led and left alone for a while, then he stands waiting for the hosts. But it is not customary to throw curious glances through the open door, look at things and the situation in the room, walk from corner to corner.
If the visit coincides with dinner or dinner, and the hostess invites you out of politeness to you at the table, you need to thank and refuse, to refer to what you have not eaten so long ago. But if the hostess insists, and puts the instruments, then it is not necessary to persist, but after dinner it is not proper to jump up and leave.
It is not proper to leave immediately when you get up from the table, but also being a guest, you do not need to lose the sense of time. When the master as though casually will tell about any unfinished work and will look at hours, means, it is time for the visitor to leave, he has stayed too long. You probably heard such a proverb "Do not be afraid of a guest sitting, but be afraid of a guest standing up." This applies to all those who like to say goodbye to their owners for a long time.
There are many nuances of how to go to visit. Take, for example, a young man, he is going to get married and wants to get acquainted with the parents of the bride. At the appointed time, he must come with a bouquet of flowers for his future mother-in-law. Most likely, he will be offered a glass of wine or a cup of tea. But the visit does not need to be delayed. At the right time, the groom should say goodbye. If the bride's parents did not go to see the groom, the bride does it for them. She also goes with him to visit the groom's parents.
Acquaintance with the parents of the groom or the bride can also be arranged outside the walls of the house. For example, when you visit a concert or a theater together. The atmosphere of the meeting can be less stressful.
It is worth noting that a man who respects himself and the owner, will never come to the house in a drunken state, with a cigarette in his mouth or unshaven.
In conclusion, let's add that in order to walk properly, you need to know the rules of etiquette, since a visit is a sign of respect and courtesy to the owners of the house.
