Question

DEAR ABBY:
I'm a 17-year-old girl who was raised to be polite. When I meet someone, I offer a
handshake and a smile and make eye contact. However, I have found that because I'm female,
adults -- especially men -- will go in for a hug even when I offer my hand to shake. This is
followed by comments like, "You're too sweet to just shake hands," or, "Girls don't shake
hands."
I like hugs, but they make me uncomfortable when they're from someone I don't know
well, and I find the comments insulting. What should I do?
