Shaking hands with your closest friends = awkward?

as long as it isn't a formal handshake like businessman style.

 

no issue with me. i am a minority and we all about the half hugs. unless it is at the office and then it is a normal handshake.

 

we generally just honk each others arses
then we go

 

We just grab each other's belly flab and shake.

 

I think 13 of those votes were misread as "closet friends"

 

I find it awkward.

 

I find it awkward when it's obvious that my friend finds it awkward. Depends on the friend.

 

I give my closest guy and girl friends hugs.

 

A simple pound of the fists works fine.

 

i hate touching other people. There I've said it.

No hugs, no handshakes. Creeps me out.

 

whatever happened to the old high five?

I'm at peace with handshakes. I like to try and break the hand of people I don't really dig...

 

The high five is what I'm talking about. Some people see it as immature, but my friends and I utilize the high five all the freaking time. I think its a little weird shaking hands with your real close friends, but the high five is good at anytime IMO.

We did the high five so much that we actually got in banned our senior year of highschool, so we used the low five for a while.

 

I laughed a little harder than i should have at this

 

After I went away to college I came back and tried to shake some of my good friend's hands. It felt weird. A side handslap and then a slide and fingersnap makes me feel cool like Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff.
Oddly enough, a circle jerk works both with close friends and business associates.

 

DUDE!

That's not cool.

 

your mom's awkward.
