How do you do?
This is not a question. It is another, very formal way of saying "Hello." It is also very British.
The correct response is; "Pleased to meet you." or "How do you do." or just "Hello."
We ONLY really use it the FIRST TIME we meet someone.
How are you?
This is a question, but the person asking it doesn't really want to know the truth about your aching back or hangover.
A polite response is; "I'm fine thanks. And you?"
So, I'm not gonna say "How do you do?" but I will say "How are you?". In other word, I wish I could say "How do you do?".
If you have questions or idea please tell me. I am happy to responds them.
