    Sadly I broke up with my boyfriend 3 months ago. But, on the bright side I met my new boyfriend while I was working on painting my kitchen, helped me pick out colors and everything! Amazing what one frim, friendly, and sweet handshake can do!!

    Today I met someone face to face that I have been in contact with in the past. I met him with a smile and handshake. I was expecting his shake to be strong but was far from it. I am now wondering if my handshake may have actually been less firm then I thought due to his initial lack of firmness. I don’t know. I am over it but I agree a firm handshake is a good thing. I think the firm handshake may be going out of style, however it could be a gender issue.

    People are sometimes taken back by my friendly and firm handshake. That is the first connection you make with someone and I try to start it positive with a firm shake!

    I have always agreed with this. A firm handshake shows that you are confidence.

    I try to shake every person’s hand with a firm handshake.

    I really want to work on my “people skills”, especially since I graduate from college in May. A strong handshake will be a great first impression on possible employers.
