If you can pull off the right balance of relaxed, confident, friendly yet blatantly uninterested — almost can’t go wrong with that approach. :)
Didn't teach ya that one in lawr schrewel did they? (maybe cause it doesn't work?)
Old news. Written long ago by I.Levin & M.Shafer
He touched me,
He put his hand near mine
And then he touched me
I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
A sparkle, a glow
He knew it...
It wasn’t accidental, no,
He knew it
He smiled and seem to tell me so all through it
He knew it, I know...
He’s real, and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward valentining
He touched me, I simply have to face the fact
He touched me...
Control myself and try to act
As if I remember my name
But he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly nothing is the same!
‘Cause he touched me...
He touched me...
And suddenly... nothing, nothing, nothing is the same!

Great minds. I too want to know but am not going to ask.

Dating Secrets of the FLDS: when courting a new woman exfoliate and bring your current wives.

LOL!
Also probably the reason you’ve escaped STDs and creepy guys and single motherhood. Good for you for having basic standards for guys.
Touching on the arm can be culturally awkward, whereas introducing yourself with a firm handshake, a warm smile and deep eye contact can have the same effect without the creepiness factor.
As for the handshake: firm, but don’t squeeze tight enough to even approach discomfort, and continue the handshake a bit longer than a normal one. Not so long as to cause anxiety, but long enough to indicate that you are assertive and enjoy touching the woman.
Women do respond to confident, assertive men, as long as they don’t overdo it.
Caveat: I haven’t actually practiced my art on anyone other than Mrs. Chandler for 33 years.
Strange...
Good grooming is primary. As for "faking" a smile, why wouldn't a man smile naturally when talking to a woman he is interested in?
