Trust your intuition on the feel of that brushing finger. It's a technique known as "sentics". The feel cannot lie.
For a woman, to accept a man's hand for shaking can be an act of courage. One never knows which man is going to crush the fingers and knuckles. Back in early January, I accepted the proffered hand of an acquaintance of my husband. His grip was so powerful that I screamed in the midst of the supermarket mall. He let go but didn't apologise. The physical pain continued for another ten minutes. After that, I decided that I'd never again allow any man to shake my hand.
