How people greet each other varies greatly between cultures, and can be different depending on the context, relationship, age, and gender.
In Europe, however, giving kisses is a common way to greet close relatives and friends, though men-to-men interactions typically exclude kisses.
In Belgium, one kiss is customary, while in certain French regions, people greet each other with up to four kisses.
My response:
2,3, or 4??? 💋
Thanks for posting. This reminded me of my junior year of college when I lived in France. One of the greatest challenges when meeting someone for the first time was gracefully following their lead regarding how many times to kiss hello. In some places, we kissed two times like in Paris; in other places, we kissed three times such as in the southeastern France; and in the city where I lived in Normandy, we kissed four times. Sometimes you didn’t know when to stop moving your head from right to left.🤣
