How do you greet a friend you haven't seen in a very long time?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) October 24th, 2019

Do you say hello from a distance? Shake their hand?

I don’t really like people touching me, so it’s usually a hello from a small distance. I even got out of taking a CPR class at work because I don’t want to touch people.

Walk up to them with my hand extended and my other arm ready to give a hug during the handshake with some phrase like, “What’s up bruh?”

@Castle – So no taser then? XD

Castle's avatar

I’m very tactile & so if it’s a bloke, he’s getting a back slapping handshake, a woman friend get’s a kiss on the cheek with a gentle arm on her shoulder.

If it’s a guy, usually a pound hug

If it’s a girl your basic two arm play

GF it would be like your link

@josie What is a two arm play?

josie's avatar

Sort of standard hug using both arms as opposed to pound hug which is one arm

jca2's avatar

A hug or a kiss or both.

@josie -So no lifts or spinning??

josie's avatar

No
I’m not that demonstrative

chyna's avatar

So what are my chances of meeting someone like me, that isn’t touchy feely?

Sorry, didn’t mean to make this about me.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@chyna -Quite alright! There are plenty of people out there that aren’t touchy feely.
I wonder if people state that preference on their dating profile?

jca2's avatar

I have a good friend that we don’t always kiss hello. We’ll kiss goodbye but not hug and not a hello kiss. Come to think of it, my other good friend, we don’t kiss hello, just a hug goodbye (no kiss).

@lucillelucillelucille

That would change everything
