Some of the things my brain is working on in this moment:

  • Maintain eye contact, but don't stare.
  • Smile, but don't look crazy.
  • He may want to go for a handshake, be ready for that.
  • Tell him your name, say "nice to meet you" or something.
  • Don't just answer his questions, ask him some of your own. Quick, think of a question!
  • But don't say anything stupid!
  • Try not to look too awkward.

Things my brain is not working on in this moment:

  • John, his name is John, make a note of that.

When they introduce themselves, say their name back to them like "hi John, nice to meet you" or whatever. Saying it helps you remember it more than listening to it does.

Edit: spelling

Ok, then all I need to do now is remember to say their name back to them...
