Do you always kiss people to say hello and good bye?

I've always been a person that is really fueled by physical touch, but in our society, kissing is not appropriate with just anyone, it is more hugs that we use in our society and even that is not with everyone, only those people that we are the closest to. So, the short answer is that I don't ever kiss people in greeting or in parting. However, even in light of the illnesses that are going around, that has not hurt my need for physical touch.

It depends on how I feel about the person. If I enjoy their company and like them alot, am glad to see them then I will give them a hug. If they want to kiss I usually go for it. I am not a kisser, no. I appreciate people asking. If I am not comfortable I move on quickly and ignore the situation.

hi jugsjugs nope no kissing with the flu around everywhere only a few really close people I hug the rest I shake hands or just merely say hi and go on from there. I do not need either king of flu specially the swine flu .when i get the flu it always means a round of bronchitis for me and I do not need or what that thank you very much

The only people that I may kiss would be my kids or my husband. Anyone else, I hardly kiss. I know that my older aunts always kiss me when they come home to Sumter to visit. I don't just walk up and kiss a person that I have seen or know. That is not something that I normally do.

Hello Jugs. No I don't kiss anyone on the cheek except my mother in law. When my mom and dad was alive I did kiss them hello and goodbye that way. But most people these days I don't think I want to because they aren't always healthy. I think it was something that people did all the time when I was growing up I don't know anyone that still kisses people on the cheek these days.

well, here in uruguay, we often kiss people on the cheek when arrives and leave in a place, its very common,, but i remember that when uruguay caught swine flue, never give kiss on the cheek outside your family, until not give the hands! but now, its okay, not have problems, lol!

I tend to shy away from it for those reasons also. I even have gotten to the point of hugging my kids and husband instead of kissing them.

There are very few people I kiss, but those I do kiss, I kiss when I see them, like my mother, my sister, my husband (although I kiss him in a much different way than I kiss everybody else, of course). LOL

I do kiss my parents whenever I am going to school when I was young but when I was in college until now I hardly do it. i just let them know I am going out and they will say take care. I am not that type that I show my affection through hugs or kiss. I am still sweet but in words not in action. When I do that, that will be a different thing for my parents. They will feel I am having a problem that is why I am doing it.

Oh nope, that's not in our culture. Just a simple wave, a nod of acknowledgment, or a proper message telling the host that the guests are going to leave is enough. Kissing on the cheek are sometimes done by close friends or to those who would initiate it first but it's really not the norm here. Kissing is a very personal thing for most people here.

No, I don't kiss people hello ro good bye. I hug them and will put my cheek against theirs if it is an aunt or someone I know that is accustomed to that gesture. I haven't been kissing because of the germs and diseases that are out there that poeple are not even aware of. I still hug though. I like to receive hugs too. Happy Mylotting

no. it`s not our culture. we can kiss women only our mother, our wife or our sister and daughter.

why not to give a kiss or to take a kiss makeing you feel happy proud glad will left positive feeling i thinks kisses its as contact line but its under cover

never did but I do hug

For many years I was not much of a kisser when greating people. It really wasnt the way our family was brought up. I still kiss my 16 year old daughter goodnight. In the past 10 years I have come across families where kissing on the cheeks when greeting one another is aceepted practise. So I became used to it. I am still not comfortable kissing some people, I guess it depends on who it is, and prerably only family members or in laws. Your comment on being reluctant to kiss due to swine flu is very valid.

Hi jj, I happen to be one of those people that always sho affection to friends and aquaintances so yes I do give them a kiss hello and goodbye..sometimes though it is a hindrance as some take it the wrong ay but as for me it is just part of my character..but if people ask not to be becaus eof a cold etc then I don't do that..LoLo

No..I don't kiss people in greeting or for goodbyes. It would have to be someone very close to me for me to do that. I'm not much of a hugger either although I do have some close friends I may hug.

No I only kiss my husband and cats L.O.L.

the only people i do that with are my kids,mum,dad and boyfriend
