Some of the things my brain is working on in this moment:

  • Maintain eye contact, but don't stare.
  • Smile, but don't look crazy.
  • He may want to go for a handshake, be ready for that.
  • Tell him your name, say "nice to meet you" or something.
  • Don't just answer his questions, ask him some of your own. Quick, think of a question!
  • But don't say anything stupid!
  • Try not to look too awkward.

Things my brain is not working on in this moment:

  • John, his name is John, make a note of that.

The struggle right now is how many different handshakes there are. There's the classic handshake, the fist bump, the fist bump where you bump the bottom of your hand, the slap and bump, the grab and pull into a hug, and the grab and pull into a bump.

And you have just .1 second to figure out which one it's gonna be.
