When you first meet someone, regardless of gender, is it not common courtesy to offer a handshake along with your greeting?
Recently I read that some women feel that they are being too forward if they offer a handshake to a man, feeling the man may get the wrong idea. At the same time some men don’t feel right offering a handshake to women; but don’t want to neglect her all together. So what is the right thing to do?
According to Author Don Gabor you offer the handshake and leave it to the other person to accept or decline. But at the same token is it not rude to decline a handshake? What is the right thing to do?
