Shaking Hands?

Well, I do shake hands with in Business meetings, and sometimes I would also shake with Men when I meet some strangers.

Most of the time i will just greet them by smiling or saying 'hi'. It's too formal to shake hand with friends. I only do that with business acquaintances.

In the part of the US where I live, women don't usually shake hands with each other, but will shake hands with men when first introduced. We are in business, so my husband and I both shake hands with men and women when we meet them. In Texas, where my husband is from originally, EVERYONE shakes hands... or if they are related, they hug each other. That experience taught me to hug my family members more, and it has really made us feel more open about our love for each other!
