Default Re: How many kisses?

I guess I like handshakes, and I use them all the time. I'm not opposed to hugs, either, but it'd be weird in a business environment. I suppose in a lot of communities I've been involved in, hugs were the norm, even hugs between men. Hugs are par for the course in the lindy hop community, but yeah, that's not exactly a community with personal space issues. I was introduced to the kissing thing when I was up dancing in Montreal. It was a little weird at first, but given that much of my instruction on the custom came from a girl I'd like to "share a crotch with," I put up with it. I have the a tendency to kiss right-left rather than the usual left-right, since if I give a hug, I tend to end up on the right cheek side rather than the left cheek side. That's the side you dance on, too. If people started doing this in places I hung out outside of Montreal, I could dig it, but not with men, and only in a social setting, not a business setting.
