Originally posted by Lira How common is kissing and hugging where you live? Not between lovers, but socially. For example, here in Brazil usually when two girls greet one another (or when a guy greets a girl), they give each other one, two or three kisses on the cheek. Hugging is not uncommon, and it's not hard to see good (male) friends hugging when greeting or congratulating. I know this is not the same way all around the world - kissing between friends seems very weird in the USA, meanwhile I've seen Russian girls kissing each others' lips whenever they saw one another; Japanese people don't seem to be fond of physical contact either. So, what is it like where you live?

french kiss here!

just kidding interesting thread by the way, here it is "kissing" between girls or between a girl and a guy, between 2 guys if it is family (at least me), otherwise "shake hands". I knew a girl from Lituania, in her country kissing is very rare and she was surprised coming in france, but she accustomed fast ...in fact it depends on the culture.

strange the girl from lithuania i knew didn't tell me that (maybe because she didn't want to kiss me (?))

Well, things which I've said - it's not for ALL the girls huh..
..so don't worry mate

meeting new people guy/girl - handshake
meeting up with friends - handshake (guy) / kiss on cheek (girl)

when under the influence, thigs are usually different

Depends on who it is and how well I know them. If it's a girl I've met a few times and who's company I enjoy, I will usually give them a hug. Good guy friends will get a hug, some will get the hand slap semi-hug where you don't really hug, but you do a half assed hug. Others get the hand shake only. Some girls get the side hug, which is also kind of half assed. I very rarely do the cheek kissing thing, but it depends on the girl and if she does it to me, I will likely follow suit.

i dunno about america not kissing? i always kiss my close girl friends on the cheek, sometimes my guy friends on the cheek too. my best guy friends kiss me on the head/forehead...and i always hug. if i met you that night i would hug you. maybe i'm just affectionate, but all my friends are like that too. maybe it's just a southern thing?

I think it depends on the people you hang with. Most of my girl friends get cheek kisses and big hugs, and I hug alot of my closer guy friends too usually with a good handshake.

With most of my buddies, it's just shaking hands.
The people I've met on TA are a mix, some shake hands, others give a hug, both guys and girls.
I think a lot depends on the person's background.
