Hi there.
How are you doing?


What if I don't care how you are?

"How do you do?" is the "correct" response when meeting someone. "Nice to meet you" is more informal.

This. I say this all the time. It's formal and polite.

Is it about the individual person, or their profession (or other station in life that is not their fault). I've said 'wish we were meeting under different circumstances' if it's someone like a medical specialist or repair person - and they usually totally get it.

If it's personal, just 'hello' It's okay to be a little cold.

(Super confusing-I read it in old books but don't really get what it's trying to say. I'm charmed, you're charmed...who is charmed and why am I so sure?)

Just say, very slowly, "Well, well, well."
