writes:Just a general question about body language.I've been away on a nice long 6 week holiday and come back refreshed and ready for anything.Except one of my friends reaction to my return. We are very close but I'm not really one to indulge in big hugs. I still felt close to her when we met up again last week but then she surprised me because when she saw me, she threw her arms around me, fine, and said she had missed me. Also fine. But then startled me by kissing me on my shoulder. What's that? At first I passed it off as just being pleased to see me. But all through our visit she was very tactile and finally when I was leaving she dragged me into a hug and kissed my head and then my shoulder again.What is she trying to tell me?We had short hugs before my departure. Just friendly ones, not these tight hugs with kisses.I am meeting her for coffee soon and thank goodness we will be in a public place, as I don't think she will be so bold as to kiss me then. What is she trying to tell me because I love her to bits as a friend but I would never think of kissing her.What's going on???

 Dont think much of it. She may have missed you and is just being friendly. However I understand what you mean, I am not too big on the suffocating hugs. One in a while, yes but too much, too often and it can become over bearing. I wont think much of it but if it becomes overbearing..I would have a chat with her and ask her to tone it down, please.

 You were away for weeks, she missed you is all?
Myself & my friends always give each other hugs and kisses on the cheek when we meet and greet.
We know it is just friendly and don't go off thinking omg she wants a lesbein fling lol!! Since we all have our own boyfriends.
Take it for what it is a friend who missed you and expressed that.

 If she's a friend of yours, I wonder why you don't just ask her? Or are you not really friends? You really need to ask her, if you want to know. You also need to learn to express yourself and TELL people how this and that makes you feel, especially if it's something that makes you feel uncomfortable. If you do not like kisses upon greeting or farewell, then you must SAY so.
