I find a swift forward motion of the forehead into the bridge of the nose most effective.

On the lips and only for the Mrs. Can't be doing with all that over familiarity. Hello or goodbye is enough I don't need a hug or kisses ffs.

I'd never kiss someone (even if on the cheek!) that I'd only just met!
A hug is okay but not prolonged.
It's probably just me though

Social kissing is just plain wrong in all its forms, I don't like hugging much either, and I'm not too keen on hand shaking.
It's my body, my space, so go away!
In no way am I socially retarded

The Poles at work do the same, but without the pastries.

Oh yes. It's refreshing at first and then it wears off. Still, if you ever need to find a colleague and they're not at their desk, they'll be by the coffee machine smoking or keeping the smokers company.

When I first met Hover fly's ex-wife I found it a bit disconcerting, especially after Hover had told me the reason for them splitting up, ("...she would crawl over me to get to you...") however when I understood it means nothing more than friendship and acceptance I realized it is a better way of greeting than some I saw and heard in my past. But once only, right cheeks, no noise and definitely no lip contact.

Me neither but I have Aspergers and strangers touching me in an over familiar manner, makes me really anxious.Social kissing is just plain wrong in all its forms, I don't like hugging much either, and I'm not too keen on hand shaking.

I once had a woman, who had never met me (and knew I had AS) , and who claimed to work with people with disabilities, grab me and bear hug me.
