Girls Home & Away

Handshake - It's formal, polite and slightly boring. A firm handshake shows that he's assertive and intellectual. It's a very proper greeting, but hints that he is conservative and concerned about appearances. How old is he? 45?

High-five - Yeah, my man! This is a display. It's more about grabbing your attention than saying hello. Slightly cute but ultimately he'll embarrass you in front of your mates. After all, he's not in the 'hood' is he?

Secret handshake - Starts off like a handshake, ends up like a rave dance. Two people moving in sync indicates mutual understanding; he wants you to be a two-some. It'd work better if he told you the secret first!

A big hug - Could he be more pleased to see you? Ebracing evolved as a way of saying 'I love you' or 'I need you' He's trying to get closer without having to say anything. He's in touch with his emotions, Awww!

A kiss on both cheeks - Ooh la la! How French.

In France this would be the sign of respect - In England, it hints that he wants sexual intimacy.

Well he'll have to wait until he can say his 'Une deux trois...' won't he.

The bare minimum - You get a grunt or a slight nod - his hands stay in his pockets.

He wants to show he's confident and doesn't care about you, but the truth is the opposite.
