I think one thing we forget as a Sunnah of Rasullulah (S.a.w) is his kindness and his politness. As we are in a non Muslim area sometimes we will be forced to do things that we do not find correct, but we must remember that politeness is something very important, so if you choose not to shake hands with the girl, find the most polite and most kind way to approach it. Remember to tell her its to protect her that you do not shake her hand, or if shes so inclined to shake your hand, tell her you cant touch the skin, but you can put some cloth or something on your hand and shake it without touching her and without making her feel bad.
