if not handshake, what’s the way will you greet someone?

1. Smile and wave. Although I want sassy hip bumps to start happening.

2. “Hi.” Not a fan of hugs or touch.

3. Hi 👋

4. Hi with a small wave and a smile.

8. i do a friendly 2 finger salute.

9. “Hey there” because I don’t need to touch you to acknowledge you

10. smile

11. Just say “hi”. It’s not that hard.

12. Just.. hi

13. I’ve been using covid as an excuse to finally greet everyone with the finger guns 👉🏻😎👉🏻

14. 2 kisses. I never do a handshake. In my country only men do handshake

15. Indian style Namaskar 🙏🙏🙏🙏

16. Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.

17. Fist bump

18. I’d like to put in a vote for “finger guns” for formal occasions and and a “thigh-slap knee-jerk” for casual acquaintances

19. Wave or flash a peace sign

20. Say “hi” and raise my hand

22. I usually say “Hey” and nod my head once at them. Don’t know why I nod my head, always have. My friends/family find it very funny.

23. Pull out my little member and proceed to windmill in sync with the other person. If it’s a lady then they swing their big hangers in a circular motion. Also clicking sounds with our tongues in place of hello

24. A wave and a hello

25. I will look them in the eyes and say “hello”

26. Hug the other ladies.

    Take a gentlemen’s hand and gently place my other hand on top for a second.

    (Im from the south.)

27. I shake my hand in the air really fast if I’m far away or if I know the person doesn’t like others/strangers to touch them. If not, big hug!!!

28. In my family we do fist bumps or elbow touches lol

29. Smile, wave, just say “hello, good morning etc”. The CEO of the company I work for insist on shaking my hand when he sees me, which drives me crazy. But he means well!

30. “Hi, you ok”

31. do air guns at them and say “whats crackalackin”

32. Usually “Hi” with a small wave.

33. A nod and a smile is perfectly fine. We don’t need to touch each other (:

34. Say hi and wave. I’m not a big fan of physical touch so that usually works fine

35. “Hi”

36. Depends on the person. Wave and a smile. A hug. It varies.

37. “Hey” and awkward head nod as I shove my golden retriever husband in front of me like the socialite meat shield he is

38. “Hi” with an awkward smile and half wave is my go to

39. I do the eyebrows up, big happy smile, and say “hi how are you?!” And usher then into the room or whatever

40. Depends on setting and who I’m meeting. Men always want to shake hands, in a work context I’ll shake hands, and for women I’ll just say “Hi, it’s nice to meet you”. Hugs reserved for close friends and family (although I absolutely hate the mandatory hug your relative thing, I have to be feeling it).

41. A smile and a hello 👋🏻

42. Nod of my head and ‘Hey.’

43. A nod and a smile

44. Kiss cheeks and/or a hug

45. I interviewed an applicant a few weeks ago and they tried to shake my hand. Idk if its cuz of covid and no contact we had for so long but my brain froze like I did not know what to do next. It was awkward AF. Applicant was like oh are we not shaking hands..? I kinda just laughed at my stupid brain and asked them to follow me into the office. >___<

46. wave or hug but recently with the pandemic just a “hello”

47. I give hugs😊 or when I am in Europe or LA, kisses on the cheeks, or bows when I am in Asia
