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

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

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

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

Why is going on a date today so much different than it was when I was young?

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

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

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Do liberals realise that God, who is much more powerful than them, is on the side of Trump?

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