Is it normal to kiss people on the cheek?
Depends.It depends
Yes, cheek-kissing is a normal greeting in many places, but what feels comfortable depends on culture, relationship, and personal preference. When you’re unsure, follow the other person’s lead or ask first.
Cheek-kissing is a common way to greet friends or family in some cultures, while in other places it’s less usual and a wave, hug, or handshake is more typical. Even where it’s common, people vary in how much they like it—and how many cheek kisses they expect.
The safest move is to read the room and let the other person set the pace. If you’re not sure, a quick “Are you a cheek-kiss person?” is perfectly normal too.
