Like you...I really like the continental kiss thing. Like you, I usually let them kiss me (the kissee) as opposed to the kisser!!! Ha that sounds funny doesn't it?!<BR/><BR/>I love the way French kids are so wonderfully polite and always greet people like that.aquaashohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282103430311472327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-4469600222565292002008-03-18T08:46:00.000+00:002008-03-18T08:46:00.000+00:00I havenothing against kissing people, but the whol...I havenothing against kissing people, but the whole kiss kiss greeting thing gets old sometimes - especially when there's the whole awkward lack of sychronicity. <BR/><BR/>I like it with people I genuinely want to exress happiness to see, maybe I haven't seen them in a while. Or on an occasion. But I don't think it should be as quotidienne as saying hello. we're Irish, for God's sake. <BR/><BR/>I have a friend whose partner is French, so you ahve to kiss twice - and one or the other of us always does hte wrong one - I do one, she does two, or she does one because I messed it up the last time and I try for two: instead of being a nice greeting or goodby, it just becomes an embarrassment!<BR/><BR/>I think letting the other person kiss you is a good tactic actually. Saves on all that teenage face-missing!<BR/><BR/>Texting when you get home - I would never ask soemone to do that - I wouldn't think of it, which is strange, as I do mammy people all the time - I havetexted soemone with a long drive home to say - oh no! You never went to the toilet! The other thing is, I forget to text when people ask me to, then I feel terrible. <BR/>I don't like the implication that I must text or I might be dead, as if getting home is really that perilous - I hate when my say see you soon to my mother in law and she says <I>PLEASE GOD</I> as if the chances are I'll be run over by a bus in the next day or so. <BR/><BR/>I don't know why I'm writing so much in rsponse here.
