I thought it would be more polite to establish your preference before initiating further conversation. Was that incorrect?
Is 'how are you doing?' better to use than 'I hope you are well'?
I have always used the former as I do not want anyone to feel that I am prying, or any obligation to answer such a question, while also informing them that their state of well-being matters to me. Does it read as too disinterested and dismissive?
