Ur right, first impressions are important!...I've always gave a "firm" handshake" and look directly into that person's eyes and said "How do you do"?

I believe making the "first gesture" is important when being introduced.....rather than stand back and wait for the introduction to become awkward (as some hearies do that)....being self-confident is important also...don't be "meek"!....Most all people feel a little "uncomfortable" upon meeting someone new, or even meeting a deaf person for the first time....
