How do you greet a guy you haven't seen for a long time?

I'm anonymous cos I feel lame asking this question. But, there is a guy that I am in a relationship with and I haven't seen him for a month or so and I won't be seeing him til September (long story, we were both busy etc). So...when I first see him, what should I do? Would it be too strong to snog him as soon as I see him? Or should I just smile and say hi and wait for him to kiss me? Or should I just give him a peck and a hug? Actually, I say 'in a relationship' but he's a ****buddy. So, um, yeah, in that situation what should I do?

Just say hi.

Edit: That didn't seem very helpful. I should have said, "Just say hi then see where it goes from there - there's no point planning every single movement you make."

I would say hi and then go in for a hug. That way he can't say you're not happy/awkward to see him.

Heheh. I guess I should go in for a hug, I'm kinda ****ting myself over seeing him though. We spoke on the phone for a while yesterday and it made me think about seeing him even though it's long way off and I was like, god I hope he likes what he sees etc. Do you think I should wear something (just a tiny bit sexy) or totally normal clothes? Like, boys, if you had a ****buddy how would you want things to be when you met up with her?

Yeah, I'll try not to be but I'm actually very shy. Arrgh, must relax. When we used to see each other on a daily basis then I was shy at first then I got better as time went on but since he hasn't seen me for a while I think he'll want me to be more forward straightaway.

Go with the flow - if he reaches to hug you, hug him back. If he kisses you, obviously kiss him back. If he doesn't do anything, then you should probably do something - I'd suggest a hug. :smile:

Yawn boy am I tired. When I'm tired I have moments of clarity and I'm thinking that I'll wear this vest top (it's tight and it looks good honestly) and my white cropped combats (also, they are cute too) but I'll wear sexy underwear underneath hehe! I guess if I'm meeting him in public then it could be embarrassing for both of us if I'm dressed too sluttily. I look kinda wholesome and sweet in the aforementioned outfit. Does that get a yay or a nay?

Just be yourself. It's not like his opinion matters when he's just a sex buddy.

Well, myself when I see my bf after the holidays, I normally actually go for a hug and a smile. Not sure why - I guess it feels strange to see him after all this time, but I'd grin cus I'd be so happy to see him and we'd chat all the way in the car back home, so it's not awkward at all. And he'd always make the first move and he'd lean in and kiss me or hug me in a cute, bf-like manner :biggrin:

And I'm meeting my ex this week, first time in two years, and I'm planning on being friendly like we're good friends. Will probably go for a hug. Basically I'm just gonna be normal :smile:

I say you do the same :wink: Just be yourself. Whatever's comfortable for you.

haha I like it.

Can't you just do what comes naturally? geez the more you think/plan things the more awkward it gets. We don't know you or him or your relationship, so how can we tell you what to do?

I was in a similar situation recently. I hadn't seen my ''significant other'' for 6 weeks. When we met I just gave him this big hug.

Don't bother planning anything because as soon as you see him you'll forget it!!! LOL
