Kissing friends

Ok, i want to conduct a bit of research here because one of my friends has pissed me off grr! Basically, somehow it came into our convo that sometimes I would kiss as well as hug my female friends, say if it was a special occasion or something. I don't mean like a romantic kiss on the lips, just like a peck on the cheek or something more *friendly*. Anyway, my friend totally flipped out at the prospect of this, and got stressed saying stuff like "well *I* only kiss amy (his gf) and thats the way it shud be*.

So, do you think its inappropriate to kiss friends at all, in a friendly way on the cheek? I really don't!

I say its normal to give your close female friends a birthday kiss or a happy new year kiss. in some countries all friends kiss

Its not really the done thing in England is it. Go over the continent and you see it all the time though.

Yes, really it is. I think it's more down to maturity and age.

When you get older, the first thing you see people do usually is greet one another with a kiss (close friends, like family friends etc. not strangers lol). There's no harm in it.
