How to Say Thank You

from wikiHow

Have you ever been complimented by someone, then just stood in an uncomfortable silence because you don't know how to say 'Thank you'? Wanted to show your gratitude for something but don't know how?

STEPS
  • Recognize that there are multiple ways to express your thankfulness. If you have been complimented, you can just
smile, say those two little words sincerely and compliment them back: E.G: (smile) 'Thank you! I like your top, it's really flattering.

  • Remember that if you have been taken out for a meal or to a restaurant by a family member, friend or even a potential partner, make sure you are in conversation while you quickly add in a little "Oh and thank you so much for the meal. It has been really great of you. You just need to tell the truth. For instance, if your mom has just taken you to a day spa and it was really relaxing and you feel really good, then say: "Hey mom, thank you for taking me to the day spa, it was really relaxing and I feel really good now!" Simple!

  • Know that if you are trying to say thank you for a present or a gift that you have received, repeat step one, just saying that you liked the present and give a reason why.

TIPS

  • Remember to always smile! Tell the truth (unless the truth isn't actually saying thank you) and make sure that you compliment or tell the person how happy it has made you!
