French kissing-sort the French instead of another kind-just seems to have gotten a bad rap. To listen to people talk this is very safe to go to the public without some French person in a hurry up and plastering your kisses. Male, female, young and old ...
The truth is, as usual, rather less y. fruit!
The French really Kiss friends such as a greeting. Usually two cheek. It is often a kiss air between people who don't know each other very well but close friends to contact. Depending on the region might be two, three or four more and kisses.If you're in an bigish collection this may take a little kiss you!, also, to say good-bye to going home for the night. Kiss women men women men kiss ...
.. but I am very ... very rarely seen men Kiss men, and the usual form of greeting for foreigners, man or woman, is a handshake. kissing is for friends.You do not need to be much more than a casual acquaintance, it is true, but are not foreigners. If you switch to French person and try to kiss for the first time that you will be regarded as a very front, probably rude.
The French are very polite, is that just as with most things in a foreign culture, knowing that the rules for the French kissing is not easy. Best advice is to watch and see what other people.
So in case of doubt, hold your hand! The French always shake hands. I would shake the hand of my friend with the way that someone I know or I meet on the line. Or the mechanic I know in a garage.If someone comes to provide services at home, like the telephone, the delivery of a new freezer or reference to a project building, I will shake their hand always. my wife will.
We will kiss them, regardless of how good looking!
Neither you kiss or shake hands, absolutely every time you encounter, only the first time each day.So if you meet someone in the morning with coffee, the appropriate greeting.If you can see once again that tonight will not normally welcome them again beyond saying hello. Also, if you are in a row, for example, it is common to kiss or shake hands when exiting, but it would be if you were in a person's home for dinner.
Confused yet?, as I said, I'd better track what do other people.Fairly often if you do not have known someone at the beginning of an evening, dinner party, we can shake hands.However, at the end of the evening, if you're relatively well, you may Kiss to say goodnight.
French children appear automatically scheduled to kiss from birth.I remember when we first to live in France to Sat outside a bar and two young children came with their parents. we never had before, but two children came over and kissed us about cheeks Were rather surprised. at the time, but their parents just gave us a friendly smile and a wink. the other we are children come and present a cheek for us to kiss.
I'm not sure that there is a rule for French kissing and you can be assured that once you learn what is normal for a specific region and will change to a different! the secret is to keep your wits about you, learn what is acceptable as noble where you are and, in case of doubt, shake hands. in fact, the secret is to accept as part of that in France and you don't get stressed about this. If you are kissed, that is a compliment-which is exactly what it is.
