Personally, I like to shake hands right away on a first date. It immediately establishes a touch-contact and says "We're on the same page here."
With COVID, this has been harder. I'm just going to have to go with some other approach to get ESIs to like me. Throwing money, maybe. Or a picture of an ILI crypto machine pasted on my forehead.
