The answer to your question is
Answer:
The first is the phatic stage (from the Greek "phases" meaning 'utterance'). it begins with a "Hi!" or a "Hello! how are you?", good morning or even a simple 'namaste' or 'vanakkam'. the accompanying gestures are the meeting of the eyes, a smile, perhaps a handshake, and moving in closer to a talking distance whereas in formal encounter the distance is greater.
The conversation may continue with further queries about the weather or like 'how is life' , 'how are things with the news', etc., the phatic stage is therefore a warming up stage.
The second is the 'personal stage' which introduces a more personal element into the convo. having moved to this stage we are likely to be willing to talk about our family, profession, health problems. most business communication takes place at this level beacuse professional discussions involves personal interests.
The third stage is the "intimate stage" which is reserved for friends and relatives, the degree of intimacy depending upon the closeness of the people.
Interpersonal communication achieves it greatest form at this stage as the social barrier falls and people tend to open out their hearts completely.
