TIP OF THE DAY ** Using the Hand Kiss **mr.uk said:when you first meet them?
to me it seems to be a man thing shaking hands...
and if you do shake hands with a girl do you shake with abit of force like you do with your bro's?
In a social setting, even a casual "Happy Hour", kissing the woman'shand instead of shaking it on that first introduction can earn youOODLES of Romance Points in her book.
I do this as a matter of habit, if the lady is at all charming and gives me any hint at all that she won't freak about it. Many years ago, talking with a female friend, the topic came upsomehow. She stated that she'd been talking with several girlfriendsnot too long previously, and they had UNANIMOUSLY agreed thatkissing the lady's hand was the single most romantic gesture that aman could make, and it ALWAYS got their attention when a guy did it.
My personal experience: I have NEVER had a negative reaction froma lady on this. NEVER. You don't have to do the deep bow you see in the movies. You actuallydon't have to bow at all, although a LITTLE bit of one won't hurt. I find it works even better if you can make eye contact at themoment or instantly after. And you get a very quick reading on whether she is used to having her hand kissed or not, based on how quickly she reads the cue that this is your intent and how she rides it.
