Is it etiquette....or just being polite..... (10)
Definitely not necessary or even traditional I don't think but nice. We are a very kissy, huggy family I guess and don't find it uncomfortable at all. The norm for us.

I'm more of a hugging-type person.
Hugs before they enter my home and
hugs before they leave.

In response to: Holidays are coming up and guests will be coming to your home.
Whether for a party or for dinner, when they leave your home, do you like to kiss everybody on the cheek (men and women) and say thank you for coming?
Or, do you feel you HAVE to kiss them to show that you are glad they came to your home???
Would you pull away if they leaned in to give you a kiss??
Are there countries where kissing everyone is traditional??
I personally am not a kissy person except for my daughter, her husband and my partner. I can usually tell by body language that the person leaving my home wants to say "thank you" with a kiss.
I don't like it but I also don't want to make anyone uncomfortable so I go along with the kiss.

Both Nottoo and Polarbutterfly are from Canada and both are huggy, kissy people. Personally, even though I'm not into that, I think its a warm way to show your guests how much you like them.
Good for you guys <--------- I do hugs in the forums
and I like to get hugs but I'm not comfortable giving kisses to people other then those I mentioned.

Cripes...
I can only speak for myself..
Kiss..??
Hug..??
warm embrace..??
I ONLY allow/do with those I like/love/sincerely care about/for..
With "others"...
I will pull away with a "polite".. "no thanks"..
If it is someone I am concerned about their "feelings"..
I just lie and say...
"excuse me but, I have a cold, swine flu, bird flu, etc.."
I'm way too old, been around way too much,
and seen all I want to see..
Now..
I just "throw the dice"..
"let em come up as they will"..
and lay MY feelings on the table...
"Politically Correctness" is for those whom
either no longer NEED to.. or HAVE to..
care...!!
Just my way of dealing with unwanted "pawing" and "licking"..

That's a good idea and I hope I remember it the next time an unwanted kiss starts coming my way.
I do care about being politically correct because it also encompasses peoples feelings. I've seen way too many times on CS when someones feelings got hurt, including mine, because of what someone said. It's easier to be nice than to be insulting.
Thanks for the good idea.
Now don't pull away -------------->
