    Don't shake her hand anyway! You shouldn't preplan how things will go, just be yourself and that will be enough.

    no full on hug just a cheek to cheek no lips, if at the end of the night ur not feeling it do the same again, and then she gets the idea thats ur way of treating everyone

    if you are too embarrassed just touch the arm above the elbow (depending on height) and cheek to cheek peck,

    shaking hands way too formal imo

    Now the quick answer is..

    do whatever feels right at the time, and follow the other persons signals, if they are going for a peck on the cheek, work away, same goes for a hand shake.. but just to have a rant on the subject..


    i would go for a quick "hey, how are you" while giving a half hug and peck on the cheek, now in reality a peck on the cheek, is really you briefly touching the others cheek and making a kissing sound into the other persons ear..

    now this sounds weird, but think about it.. you dont want the other person having to wipe a wet cheek afterwards.

    all of this is done very quickly of course,, and neither really makes a big deal out of the situation.

    Best of luck

    dont forget your wallet and keep the farts and burbs to a minimum...

    i know saw that after! wear a really warm jumper and a nice scarf and offer it to her, if she knows her stuff she will shiver which is your cue to offer your scarf (and ur coat?depending on what...) and put ur arm around her. personally i would be very impressed if my first date with a guy and he showed up with a small umbrella for me, and offered it to me
