I need to know if I've been embarrassing myself totally for years and years and years.
I'm a bit of a kisser. I like to do the hello-kissy-kiss-kiss thing when it's someone I know reasonably well. It's nice. See, that's me in the picture above saying 'oh, hello, nice to make your acquaintance.' Ha! Not really, we're talking a little peck at most. Occasionally it's a double-job as I'm influenced by the Italians, but generally it's a fleeting peck.
But when I do the kiss, I do make actual lip to cheek contact.
Someone has mentioned that this is majorly embarrassing and you're supposed to kiss the air next to the cheek, not the cheek itself.
Who knew?
Anyway, I tried out the air-kiss and I felt like a total air-head kissing into space like that with the little 'mwah' sound. Man, what an idiot. So I went back to making actual cheek contact.
Now, what I need to know is: is this social suicide?
Am I turning what is meant to be a warm, welcoming thing into a horrifying
experience for all I make overly-intimate contact with?
Does anyone else out there make contact?
Does anyone else out there make contact?
