When you visit a friend's map, you are allowed a certain number of "handshakes" with that friend, it will be indicated by a handshake icon at the top left of the screen when you are at the friend's map. It will show how many handshakes you have left with that friend.

Right now my maximum handshakes per friend is 6 (the max handshakes changes over time as you progress... i started out with 2 or 3 handshakes per friend in the beginning of playing this game). Each handshake takes 10 purple energy.

So, for an example: if you have 120 total purple energy... you can handshake 12 times... and if your maximum handshakes per friend is 6, then, with those 12 handshakes you could handshake a total of 6 times each with 2 of your friends. Or, you could split up the handshakes, and handshake a total of 1 time each, with 12 of your friends.

If you spend some time handshaking with others, they will handshake in return sometimes, and handshaking always helps the person you are visiting and you too. For me right now, when I handshake with someone by clicking on one of their game locations such as the City Hall, it reduces the amount of game energy required for them to play the City Hall location by 3 energy (the blue lightning bolt energy) so it helps them to "play more" the more I handshake with them by clicking on locations that they play.

I hope this helps. It was not clear how this worked when I first started playing. You will get the hang of it. OH ALSO... when you visit their location and handshake, they will get a little "visitor" icon of you on their screen if they play that day, and if they click it, it gives them a reward too. So they get two bonuses because you (1) visited them and (2) did a handshake with them. And you receive a bonus for each handshake that you give them too.

So it is a WIn-Win Situation! And hopefully if you do this enough for your friends, they will start to do it back! At least this is how it seems to work.
