Do you kiss goodbye to relatives and friends?

[motownguy]

Particularly when I'm saying goodbye to them forever because I'm through with their bullshit, I give them a hard and passionate kiss alla' Michael Corleone. Then I take them fishing at a cold, deep lake.

No... I don't even like giving hugs. I have a nice personal bubble.

Its the number one way people contract herpes.

if you have kanker soars you can blame aunt "so and so" for smooching you as a child.

This is why 1/3 of the population has a form of herpes. Stop kissing people, especially children.

Im sure the cheek is safe.

I see most of my friends every day if not 4+ times a week. So the only friends who get hello/bye kisses are ones who i havent seen in a few weeks/ones visiting from out of town.
Family, i never kiss my sister and i rarely see her, kiss my older family (aunt/uncle/mom) every time no matter how often i see them and my brother because i see im maybe once a year.

No one gets kisses on the lips aside from the bf. Seeing people kiss family on the lips grosses me out.

Really it depends on the relative or friend. Guys generally the closest we get when saying hello or goodbye is a hug. Girls generally it's also a hug but closer friends or elders might get a peck on the cheek.

I hug and kiss some of my friends and not others. Same with family. It just depends on what they are comfortable with.

Personally, I am a big hugger. I used to NOT be into it at all, but years of practice has made it seem normal.

Yeah, I guess I hug a lot. I never think of myself as a hugger, but I suppose I have become one. Not usually the big bear hug, but I'll embrace.

When I was younger, even up through high school, I was always directed to give aunts and uncles a kiss. I had an aunt I called Fish Lips because kissing her was always a messy affair....ick. I went through a no kissing phase, but have reverted back to the goodbye kiss when leaving (Fish Lips has since passed on).

With the goodbye kiss I generally do the cheek, but I kiss my bff on the lips.
