What is a good response? What is a bad response?

Markness

Good response: An ongoing conversation and maybe ending with an exchange of contact info.

Bad response: Stern or uninterested looks and little to no talking or outright hostility.

By greet, do you mean greet people you already know? Or people with whom you are unacquainted?

Markness

Both.

It may be that your observation is not so 'black vs white' as it feels, as far as *everybody else* getting "good responses."

I went and, keeping Markness' results in mind, experimented with this after church. Felt about 75% invisible to most people. I think to actually greet people & it be friendly, I need to find places that the outsiders already are at. Will report if any success.

Markness

That’s partly why I stopped attending church altogether. Even the Unitarian fellowship was like that.

I don't really understand. You expect people to immediately, upon one meeting, to offer phone numbers and suggest outings together?
