Am I supposed to wait for a woman to extend her hand before I initiate the handshake in introductions?
In a business setting, no. In a social setting, use your best judgment. Shake hands or do as the English by nodding a "How do you do?" with your head.
No matter what gender you are, you are to STAND UP and then your hand is to be extended promptly when you meet another person. If you extend your hand to meet a woman and she does not offer her hand, then nonchalantly put your hand back down. And then go buy her an etiquette book (just kidding....sort of.)
