Handshake etiquette dictates shaking hands when being introduced to someone in a business or social setting, when greeting or saying goodbye to hosts or guests, and when offering congratulations or condolences. A firm handshake is appropriate, while being careful not to shake too hard or pull the other person's arm. In social situations, men typically wait for women to extend their hand first, especially in Europe.
