    Default Preference for SO meeting a friend of yours

    Okay, we assume your friend is the opposite sex of your SO. Also I'm excluding the option of "handshake" from your choices.

    How would you rather your SO greet a friend of yours for the first time? (And why this way rather than the other way?)

    HUG

    KISS ON THE CHEEK

    Why is handshake excluded from the list?

    I guess I'll pick hug, because I don't think I've ever seen him kiss anyone on the cheek. Not even his mom.

    Hardkandee, I excluded "handshake" because the other two are more intimate, and I'm curious to see how people react to that.

    For instance, I vote for cheek kiss because it involves less surface area and, okay, I don't want her evaluating his powerful back muscles....

    Chicagoeditor, women have eyes too.
    I pick kiss on the cheek, it's common in other countries.

    This is why I only date blind women. If you met me, you'd understand.

    Lol. My SO isn't very intimate in public. At least not with other people.

    As for the back muscles... I would be ok with that, just as long as nobody's evaluating any glutes.

    I prefer HUG...

    I don't like being too buddy-buddy until they know them well.

    I must admit I have a jealous streak.

    Yeah, is this a really big issue in your life right now, CE?

    If I met a friend's SO and he tried to either hug me or kiss me on the cheek, he'd better be from Spain or France, because I'd be just a wee bit put off.

    ^^Youre so funny!

    I dont like either. The ol' smile and nod works best. Or wave...Im not super affectionate to people I dont know so I dont expect others to do the same.

    A bear hug, for all I care?

    It's funny you brought greeting protocol up, this ruined a job lead for me. I greeted a possible boss' wife with a wave and a "hi" instead of anything else, and she got mad about it. But I was walking through the room!
    My ex-boyfriend also made fun of me for hugging his whole family at Thanksgiving dinner. ??? We had been together for a couple years by then.
    I think the handshake is a way to pass germs around, but you can tell a bit about a person by their handshake.

    Personally, I think a handshake is the most appropriate. It extends a respect for both parties. I have girlfriends that hug Scorpio...some do the cheek kiss...but we've all been friends for a while, and so it doesn't bother me a bit.

    No fair, VG. I excluded the handshake option, and the question is about "first meeting" between Scorpio and one of your girlfriends. Try again?

    No. While a hug is fine and a kiss on the cheek is fine...I think the most appropriate first introduction meeting would be a handshake.

    Lady Z is big on hugs with friends. I'm not. She doesn't hug on first meetings. Her hugging doesn't bother me at all. If I swapped a big hug at a first meeting, it would probably make her wonder because it's not my style. If she swapped a big hug at a first meeting, then I'd assume she's in a hug mood today. Neither of us are much for a kiss on the cheek, unless we get kissed first.

    For a first meeting, we're the handshake kind of people, and if I can't choose that option, then my answer won't be very relevant to my life.
