A kiss a hug that is pefectly acceptable. If that is who you are, go for it. People will know that and it eill be okay. Now if they shrink away that is their problem and you may have to approach them differently afterwards. But I think everyone needs affection.

I generally do something in between, and more of a cheek side thing, rather than a full blow lips on cheek, unless I know them really well. But I am not a fan of kissing air either, And I never know how long you need to know someone before you should greet them with a kiss, rather than just saying hello! I think I overthink things, I like your attitude of just diving in because that feels right to you. Sometimes I wish our society had more definte rules about these things, so that I just knew what was right.Sannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802344259857914538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-43938555617813520712011-08-10T10:25:00.136+10:002011-08-10T10:25:00.136+10:00Oh, what a great topic.

I love the whole kissy thing, but tend to just touch cheeks and kiss into the air. Though a couple of his rellies do the peck on the cheek. When it happens, it certainly doesn't embarrass me. However, if I do it, I feel slightly weird! Not helping, am I? ;)Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690280722837578327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-52321538335089914632011-08-10T08:54:16.172+10:002011-08-10T08:54:16.172+10:00Gosh, another faux pas to look out for.

I mean, what's the point?<br /><br />I'm a big kisser, hugger, hand-holder, cuddle-snuggler, neck-nuzzler, and arm-linker (when walking or standing around chatting). <br />Obviously, most of these do not apply to strangers (I'm laughing at the idea of me nuzzling into the neck of some random on the street - ha!). But I do kiss strangers on the cheek if I'm meeting them for the first time, and I always hug and (cheek) kiss older people on a first meeting. <br /><br />Lucky for me, my friends and family are very affectionate too. It seriously takes more than 30 minutes to leave a family gathering, with all that kissing and hugging going on...<br /><br />Great post, as always xQuill and Ink Handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018173384573228280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-80258079252796364522011-08-10T06:52:24.798+10:002011-08-10T06:52:24.798+10:00I'm a fan of the air kiss with a big ***Mwah**...I'm a fan of the air kiss with a big ***Mwah*** So tacky I know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651116248452404269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550579703997672879.post-45660109934040040212011-08-10T06:01:34.812+10:002011-08-10T06:01:34.812+10:00I think I make contact - I've never thought ab...I think I make contact - I've never thought about it before!

Even my own family only does the "cheek press" (not really a kiss, not really a hug) with each other. Kisses are reserved for significant others and, sometimes, small children (if related or of a close friend).<br /><br />I think your warm greeting is a wonderful practice.
