AboutAmanda Gamble Expertise I will answer any etiquette question you`d care to ask!
I will be happy to give friendly non-judgmental advice on any situation.
If your question is rude,incoherent or demands I confirm your "victim" story,
I reserve the right to refuse to answer. Life is too short.
Certain cultures and customs are not part of my personal
experience,but I will research to get the needed answer.
Time specific questions may or may not get answered by your deadline.
Experience I have been writing a daily etiquette advice column for 8 years.
I have taught as well as given lectures on the subject.
I do some volunteer work with a lady every week. When we greet each other we first kissed each other on the cheeks. However, we are getting emotionally closer and she may have aimed a greeting kiss on my lips before, which I averted. Now our greeting kisses are at the edge of the lips. We're just very close friends, nothing intimate yet. Is it alright to kiss her on the lips as a greeting even though she's not a lover or anything of that sort, just a very dear female friend. I think she's single. I live in Australia. She's from Ireland, I'm from Asia. I've never seen friends kiss on the lips as a greeting. Many thanks.

Answer Dear Usuff,
What country are you from,where is she from and
where are you now? I ask because as you say,the
social etiquete of kissing hello differs from place
to place.
Please advise and I will answer.
Best regards,
Amanda Gamble
