Who should give the hand first?

Although in modern society it is customary to shake hands when you first meet, in some circumstances, you should not initiate a handshake. Considering that a handshake is a sign of trust and hospitality, you must first ask yourself a few questions. Are you happy for me? Is this person glad to meet me, or am I forcing him to greet me? Sellers are well aware that by shaking hands with the buyer and doing it without warning and acquaintance, they cause a negative reaction in a person. A potential buyer may refuse to buy if he feels forced to shake hands. In such circumstances, the seller is better to wait until the buyer himself wishes to shake his hand. If the buyer does not have such a desire, it would be more appropriate to confine a friendly nod. In some countries it is not customary to shake hands with women (in Muslim countries, for example, such an act is considered offensive; a light nod is quite enough). Recently, however, the number of women willing to shake hands when they meet or say goodbye is growing. A firm handshake immediately shows openness and makes a good impression.
