Sounds like a nice guy who's more sociable than the norm.
However, 15 years ago I got mugged when walking toward my hotel by making the very big mistake of shaking hands with somebody who stopped in front of me to ask a question and then held me there while I got flanked by his buddy.
Being polite with your fellow man? Absolutely. Shaking hands with a stranger? Nope. A firm "Sorry, I gotta go" gets you out of there without looking like a jerk.
