Hug and a kiss Options

[ley]

Idk if its because i am Mexican but i was always taught to greet people with a hug and a kiss. My bf seems to be bothered by this becuase he says its kissing alot of guys even if it is just a kiss on the cheek. So my questions are...

1. Is this weird? (some ppl seem to think its a little to affectionate)

2. If it was ur gf or bf would you be mad?

3. Does anyone else do this?

[Maccabee]

I don't but i'd love to start. Does your boyfriend just find it odd, or is he serious about it. If he is being protective and controlling over you, dump him now.

[ley]

Hes pretty serious. He acts like a kiss on the cheek is a huge deal.

[shanaynay]

well I wouldn't mind it, especially since it's customary. Sounds like your bf is a little extreme

[-DressYourEyelid...]

i'm italian, so it is customary to kiss someone three times on each cheek as a greeting and goodbye.
i don't think it'd weird at all and my boyfriend doesn't mind as he is french and it is a french custom as well.

If he's white or black, that's your problem.

I'm italian & dominican and from both sides of my family thats just how we do it. I think thats a silly thing to get mad over.

1. Is this weird? (some ppl seem to think its a little to affectionate)

Not at all. Tons of people misspell the word "too."

2. If it was ur gf or bf would you be mad?

No, but I would seriously question their intelligence.

3. Does anyone else do this?

Of course. Tons of people misspell it.

My bf seems to be bothered by this

It bothers me, too.

1. Not weird at all. Well to me, at least. I'm Hispanic too and that's how I greet people.

2. Nope.

3. I do. But I only do it with family or friends. If I'm meeting someone new, I'll shake their hand.

[transcendentalis...]

1. Is this weird? No. Customs are customs... and it's quite a common one, too.

2. If it was ur gf or bf would you be mad? No. Though I would be a little confused as to why he would start, but it's not a big deal.

3. Does anyone else do this? I don't. Some friends do.

He's Puerto Rican.

I do. But I only do it with family or friends. If I'm meeting someone new, I'll shake their hand.

Thats part of the problem. I meet new people but since they are with people i know they try to say hi the same way.

[illriginal]

He's Puerto Rican.

Oh... Puerto Ricans are typically jealous. Nothin to worry about (even though it's odd.. because even Puerto Ricans give a hug and kiss on the cheek out of respect).

hmmmm anything else i should know about Puerto Ricans?

[illriginal]

Eh... nothing else. I'm not saying all Boricuas are the same.. but majority, ya, especially the females (and serious Drama Queens). I live in South Florida and this is how it is down here.

1. Well to me, no, because I'm Colombian and it's a custom for me too.

2. Nah, I'd be cool with it. I respect that it's a custom and it's not really a big deal.

3. I do, but with only my family and some of my parent's friends. I just usually say "what's up" to my friends and shake a person's hand when I meet them for the first time.

I have noticed his sisters tend to be very dramatic. Im from Texas they are the only Puerto Ricans i have ever met.

Im starting to think its a Latin thing.

[Mikeplyts]

Im starting to think its a Latin thing.

Mostly, but other countries like Italy and France also do the same thing, as mentioned earlier in this thread.

When did you become the ambassador for black people? I wouldn't have a prob with this at all, just as long as she don't hop in the guy's bed.

[SweetBride202]

I think doing hugs and kisses to a person is just normal without even thinking bad.maybe your bf is a jealous person that's why he wanted only you to do some hugs and kisses.

I agree with it...

[Rachhbabee]

It is Normal in schools anywhere itso k if you say hi on the cheek i do it everyday and its not like your flirting its just greeting also i would not be mad if my bf did that and 3 of all it is totally normal that you so that hope i helped[:

[LittleMissSunshi...]

i always give hugs to everyone. if it was my boyfriend, and girls gave him kisses on the cheek, i wouldn't mind. cause some girls do greet everyone, including girls this way. i think your boyfriend should not mind, because honestly, he gets way more than just a kiss on the cheek. haha

[iExquisite]

1. Is this weird? (some ppl seem to think its a little to affectionate)

it is a little weird because i haven't actually been in the mist of a person who does it
&& in general no that many people do it


2. If it was ur gf or bf would you be mad?

i would be mad because my gf should me hugging and kissing me not others
but if my gf explains to me that she was thought to greet people like
that && it is sort of a tradition, then its cool

3. Does anyone else do this?
rarely..

I wouldn't be mad,that's ok, as for me- I don't do that all the time,only sometimes: if the person is really a close friend or someone special to me,,but don't worry your case is ok

[nosylilme]

1. Not weird at all.

2. He wouldn't be mad if I explained that it was a custom.

3. I do the same thing with family.

[DGXIV]
