What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

What does success really mean to you? Is it about happiness, money, or something else?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
