Quick answer
Boys vs girls: finding each other in a crowd
When you can't find someone in a crowd, ask "Where are you?" and describe where you are, for example "I'm by the entrance." If you want the other person to wait, say "Stay right there." When you finally see them, say "There you are." It sounds warm and relieved.

Each line explained
-
There you are. Tone: Warm and relieved
Say it when you finally find someone you were looking for. It works with friends, family and coworkers. Don't use it when you're just meeting a stranger for the first time.
“There you are.”
-
Where are you? Tone: Casual, a bit worried
Use it on the phone or by message when you can't see the person. If you say it in person, it can sound like you're worried or a little annoyed.
“Where are you? Well,”
-
Stay right there. Tone: Firm and clear
It means "Don't move, I'm coming." Use it once you know where the other person is. With a soft voice it sounds kind. If you say it sharply, it can sound like an order.
“Stay right there.”
-
I'm by the entrance. Tone: Neutral and helpful
Use it to give your position. Here "by" means "next to." Change the place to fit your situation: "I'm by the stage" or "I'm by the exit."
-
What are you wearing? Tone: Practical, friendly
Ask this when the place is busy and you need a clue to spot the person. In a crowd it's a normal question. Outside that kind of situation it can sound personal, so think about the context.
-
Can you see me? I'm waving. Tone: Light and hopeful
Use it on the phone when you think the other person is close. It's casual, so keep it for friends and family.
Common mistakes
-
Not quite
Here you are. (when you find a friend)Better There you are.
"Here you are" usually goes with handing something to someone, like a ticket or a coffee. When you finally find a person, say "There you are."
-
Not quite
Where you are?Better Where are you?
In a question, the verb comes before the subject: "Where are you?" Keep "where you are" for statements, such as "Tell me where you are."
-
Not quite
Stay there right.Better Stay right there.
"Right" goes before "there" and means "exactly in that place." Saying "there right" isn't natural English.
