A female reader, CindyCares Italy +, writes (26 July 2011):

CindyCares agony aunt Yes, frankly it is silly, - paranoid in fact.

I dislike too this cheek-pecking habit- that where I live, in Italy, is a frenzy, everybody is constantly kissing everybody ,you'd really go nuts if you were here. In fact, I hate it. I like to maintain my physical boundaries and to be affectionate only with people I know , so I do my best to dodge these showers of kisses diplomatically, or , when it's impossible I'll smile and say, sorry, I don't kiss,it's a quirk of mine.

BUT, that's me. If other people want to kiss each other that's cool. It does not mean anything, it's not flirtatious or sexy or coy or sleazy . It's just a ( silly ) habit, an innocuous social fad. Your partner is not going to be erotically "zapped" by a one -sec peek on the cheek ... and if you fear that this can happen, well, maybe your general self confidence needs some tuning up?

This does just seem like a social thing, I wouldn't worry about it. For some people its a pretty common custom, just like some friends greet each other with hugs etc. I kiss my close friends all the time, and my relatives, I never think of it as meaning anything 'more' than just a greeting. You might get used to it as you get to know them all better, but if you really don't like it, just step back a bit from the group when you are getting up to leave or something,just wave good bye or shake hands, what ever you are more comfortable with, and don't allow them to kiss you.
