@king_faisal

these days when i go to pakistani dinner parties either in karachi or abroad, i see a lot of people of the opposite sex greeting each other by kissing on the cheeks. unless i am mistaken, such greeting style might be against our cultural norms. moreover, as a product of all boys school until o-levels, i feel a bit akward greeting some what agnabee women in this manner. also while greeting a khatoon, am i supposed to wait for the khatoon to indicated what manner she wishes to be greeted with or should i make the first move so that the khatoon does not think i am being stand-offish? and what if i make the first move but the khatoon does not want to be greeted in this manner?

any advice?

you know what when i went to Barcelona for first time, my Manager introducing me to other folks (including beautiful Senorita’s) I saw in TV they kiss on cheeks when you say bye, they did same to my Manager too, i thoguth i will also get that kisses, i went clean shaved and with good perfume, i’m 22 pretty young that time, just finished graduation, but noone kissed me
