La réponse en bref
Boys vs girls: greeting an old friend
When you meet an old friend, start with a greeting such as "Long time no see!" or "It's good to see you." Then ask "How have you been?" to show you care about their life since you last met. If you forgot their name, it's fine to say so politely and ask again.

Comprendre chaque réplique
-
Long time no see! Ton: Casual and playful
Use it with friends you haven't seen lately, usually as the first thing you say. It's very informal, so avoid it in a job interview or with someone you barely know.
“Long time no see.”
-
It's good to see you. Ton: Warm and polite
This works with friends and coworkers, in casual or more formal places. Use it for people you already know. For someone you are meeting for the first time, say "It's nice to meet you" instead.
“It's good to see you.”
-
How have you been? Ton: Caring and sincere
Ask this to learn about someone's life since the last time you met. It invites a longer answer than "How are you?", so use it when you have time to listen.
“How have you been?”
-
It's been ages! Ton: Friendly and surprised
Say this when a lot of time has passed since you last met. "Ages" means a very long time, not an exact number of years. It's informal, like "Long time no see!"
-
Look who it is! Ton: Cheerful and informal
Use it when you suddenly see a friend you know well. It sounds happy and a little loud, so it can feel strange with a manager or a stranger.
-
What have you been up to? Ton: Relaxed and curious
Ask this after the greeting to hear about work, hobbies, or plans. "Up to" means "doing." It's friendly and casual, so in a formal meeting "How has work been?" may fit better.

À corriger
How are you been?Formulation conseillée How have you been?
The question asks about the time from your last meeting until now, so it uses the present perfect: have + been. "Are" and "been" don't go together.
-
À corriger
Long time no see you!Formulation conseillée Long time no see!
This is a fixed expression. Native speakers don't add "you" or change the words, even though the grammar looks unusual.
-
À corriger
It's nice to meet you. (to an old friend)Formulation conseillée It's good to see you.
Use "meet" for the first time you meet someone. With a person you already know, use "see" or "see you again."
