Is it normal to kiss your friends on the cheek?

Depends.It depends

Yes, cheek kisses are a normal way to greet or show affection among friends in many cultures and friend groups. It varies, so follow your friends’ cues and make sure they’re comfortable with it.

Totally normal in some places and friend groups; in others, people stick to hugs, waves, or a simple hello. A cheek kiss can just be a friendly greeting, not a sign that you’re flirting or trying to make things romantic.

The main thing is comfort: follow the other person’s lead, and don’t take it personally if someone prefers more space. You can always ask, “Are you a cheek-kiss person?”
