Default Re: How many kisses?

In Mexico it is common to greet women with a kiss on the cheek, even when meeting someone, i.e "hi, I am Enrique" kiss "nice to meet you".

When I started High School I was very bothered by this and I would only do a handshake. Some girls thought I was rude because of it. Now I alternate between handshake and kiss when meeting new people depending on my mood (although I do greet my Mexican female friends with a kiss).

In my family we do two kisses (with my sister, my mom and my father) because my mother is Spaniard and the custom over there is 2 kisses instead of one.
