Me neither. In fact, I went to Youngstown for a cousin's wedding & a (male) friend of their family was visiting them from France. When I was introduced, I extended my hand & he tried to KISS me.

After my dad stopped laughing, he explained that that was a normal way of greeting people in France.I suspect many of us don't hug folks who'd be surprised or otherwise concerned that we're carrying a concealed handgun.

We haven't even begun to explore the act of dancing with a new partner.......

If you're a woman and you try to hug me, I'll move away, unless you're totally hot. If you're a man and you try to hug me, I'll put you on the ground.
