When someones comes up to you to give you a hug and a kiss on the cheek ,which cheek do you kiss? What if they are a person who kisses both cheeks, how can you tell? How do you know what to do so that you dont bump each others faces?

I had to think about this one. If I am being kissed, I try to get my lips into the action (just kidding) If I am being kissed I let the kisser take the lead while I stay still. If I am the kisser, I kiss the right cheek, most of the time, I think. Or whichever one is the most handy. I seldom kiss both unless both are offered.
I have been known to cause noses to collide.
Another piece of etiquette. If you do not want to be hugged or kissed, you are under no obligation to let it happen. Extend a hand for a handshake, or a palm out. If they walk into it, push.

Where I come from we always kiss both cheeks and strangely enough we don't bump into each other. I guess try not to rush so you can get an idea where the other person is aiming at and then return the kiss on the other cheek. It's really not hard.

I would kiss that person's right cheek, nothing secret, maybe something to do with the fact that I am right-handed?!, you cannot tell whether that person is one cheek kisser or two cheeks kisser, I supposed you just have to pay attention to that person's reaction. If a person is a friend some someone you knew, then it is okay to have lips on that person's cheek(s), otherwise, do the formal way for example if that person's a new, never met before, just do the kissing sound and keep the distance between each other's cheeks. I hoped that my answer is clear enough.

I would think it would be right cheek then left. The few times I've seen it done that's how it went down.
Kiss the same cheek they kissed for the single cheek greeting.

I normally kiss on the (from my position in front of the person's face) right. If there's a double-kiss, then it's right-cheek, left-cheek. I have no idea if that's conventional but it would seem to me that with the majority of people being right-handed this would work out somehow.

Let the kisser do the choosing, but right cheek to right cheek, then left cheek to left cheek
Or watch The Godfather.

There's no kissing of a cheek when I greet someone. Its usually just a simple hand shake.

that's a sturdy question. merely while i think of i've got found out that the answer to that query is an incredible little hug inspite of ways long i've got ordinary whom, i will discover that I actual have created a clumsy 2nd that for the period of easy terms starts off to vanish as quickly as i'm interior the taxi homestead. i think of shaking arms is the 'secure' undertaking to do. in case you have had a sturdy snicker or watched an emotional action picture mutually, a hug isn't out of the question. while you're leaving a organisation assembly or on the espresso keep an uncomplicated little handshake will do. in case you have been ingesting, all bets are off and hugs will maximum possibly take over in any formal undertaking.

Keep your face neutral, don't move, let them steer to whichever cheek they want, but to be polite, make the kissy noise.
