haha oh. i understand. thats really awkward

Yeah it was strange
I'd hug you anytime but

And the guy/girl handshake is really really weird, I think it'd make it more awkward if anything

i dont hug people ive just met, instead of a handshake i usually just sort of hold hands for a bit with girls. also i dont shake guys hands much. just a wave. or if i havent seen someone for ages a hug.

When meeting girls for the first time I will usually shake their hand just like they were a dude. Girls I've met before, kiss on the cheek and girls I know really well probably hug.

naw thanks guys. you guys dont fit into protocol. its pretty much "do whatever to show that you love these cats"

what about a hand kiss?? i've hand one of those before. incredibly suave. but takes alot of courage

So fucking tryhard, I hate guys who do that. Seriously, for male/female kiss on the cheek is always a safe bet.

Also there is the dude hug but thats a tricky one. It's gotta be the one shoulder, pat on the back then move apart.

I would never go a hand kiss unless I was incredibly drunk or had the personality to back it up

the fact that he was gay and we had met before a few times probably made it okay. if it was meeting for the first time i'd be incredibly wierded out..that is unless they were hot, in which case they probably couldnt do anything wrong bar an ass-slap

also on this note, hows the handshake-hug thing. a bit too testosterone for girls

man i wish i had a y chromosome. so much less social awkwardness

guys/guys shake hands
guys/girls, duno depends on how much i know them, usually just a hey hows it going or whatever. if theyre really close friends just a semi kiss on the cheek and yeah. but shaking hands with a girl is awkward and hugging is too gay (ironically) hehe

 

[jemsta]

guy/guy- usually a handshake, or a hug if i havent seen them in ages
guy/girl- either a wave, hug or kiss on the cheek, but more likely the latter....unless theyre asian, which means theyre so frigid they move away when you attempt to kiss/hug them :/

so last night i had an extremely awkward greeting with a person who i maybe am in love with but as yet don't know very well

so, as i understand it, if you don't know the person very well:

men + men = handshake (easy)
women + women = hug? kiss on cheek? (here im lacking a little. hug is maybe too forward. kiss maybe? but thats heaps fake and shit...anyway i seem to navigate around this one somehow)

men + women = ????????? hug? kiss on cheek? handshake (surely not!)

it ended up being an awkward hug/kiss combo.
i hate awkward. whats your protocol?

heheh ive had this before, she went in for a kiss on the cheek, i went in for a hug

well if it's going to be a hug make sure you like indicate well before you two are close enough to kiss on cheek, like put your arms out and be like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG [INSERT NAMEEEEEEEE] YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and hug him

or something

i reckon hug if you two are good friends.

Greetings/goodbyes I'll tend to follow the girl's lead, which is usually a hug if I know them well, otherwise just a wave or something.
