The awkward hug or kiss.

I like hugs now, but I don't want a kiss, or to kiss, anyone I'm not sleeping with.
I always found kisses on the cheek to be awkward and an imposition.:: Especially because I never know if I'm supposed to return the cheek kiss.
I used to kiss my parents on the check but then I somehow ended up associating it with sexual things and have never done so since. I kind of regret this since it is silly.
I don't really have to hug anyone outside of my family, so it is not really a problem for me, but I have had some awkward situations with handshakes, wondering whether it is expected of me or not, whether the other person actually was going to shake my hand.
OMG, well I'm so glad I found this forum. I signed up just to reply to this thread because, I did this yesterday and I cannot get over it. So glad I'm not the only one even though we're with few. It was a person I just met, everything went great, great conversation about deep stuff and then when we said goodbye, this happened and now I'm afraid I made a horrible impression and I scared her away. My friends, who saw it happen! say they didn't notice any freaked out 'vibe' coming from the new friend after this incident but I just know this didn't go over well. I would be freaked out. OOOOh HOW to get over this.

I don't like touching people generally, but my relatives always feel they have to hug me as a greeting and a farewell.
My grandma always turns her head when she goes to kiss me, so I end up kissing her on the lips.
It's not really awkward anymore since it happens every time.
My dad used to give my boyfriend hugs whenever we'd be leaving-- which was awkward for him because the men in his family don't hug.
The men in my family do, though. Kiss, too.
I prefer that over the macho-don't touch eachother or people will think we're gay- type families.
If you're secure in your sexuality it shouldn't be a big deal-- can be awkward, yeah; but there's nothing wrong with it.
(especially if you like hugging and kissing... which I don't- but some people find it comforting.)

never had that happen because most people know i dont like any sort of pysical contact with most people. so i dont like hugging people, not particularly fond of handshakes.
not that im a cold hearted person, i just feel uncomfortable hugging people other than like my bf and family/friends. though i still dont really like hugging family.. im not close with any of them

I dislike the huggy kissy greetings and goodbyes with near strangers. When did that start? I was living in Ontario where hardly anyone shook hands and moved back to Quebec and suddenly I was having faces coming in for the 2 cheek kiss (not an air kiss) and arms outstretched towards me. I am not a prude, but I think you should keep your hands and lips to yourself until you know the person longer than one time. It's unsanitary too! I guess I must be one cold b****!
