* A girl would normally mean a female in her teens up to her mid twenties.
* A woman would mean an ordinary female after her mid twenties.
* A lady would mean a married female. In England, a lady would mean a female with some status above a commoner. Example the wife of a nobleman.

How should you greet her when you can't be sure she is a girl, a woman or a lady?
To avoid receiving angry looks and unpleasant rebuke, the best is to greet her as a &quot;lady&quot;.
