A suggestion, when dealing with those whom you've just met:
Manners are a must. If one wishes contact, then courtesy and politeness are necessary to reach that goal. But it is dangerous to use manners too much- extreme manners aren't colorful. Also, synthetic manners won't do. Unless you've gone through forty years of employing copies of the real thing, your code of politeness is still just a copy. But that's no reason not to; if something is copied enough times, it will begin to remember the original so well that it could end up mimicking it perfectly. Look to camoflogued butterflies as your example.
