I find my most common problem is the same as with a social/cheek kiss -- which side to pass on? I often wonder if it's to do with handedness, or even with nationality (e.g. which side of the road do you drive on).

Not to mention second-guessing the two- or three-kiss routines.

And it's much easier to get from a handshake to a hug, if you decide that's what you do with that person, than to get back the other way...

In some countries they have rules for which side of the pavement/sidewalk you walk on, to avoid the pavement dance effect.

I always get thrown by a second cheek - I can carry off one swoop with some nonchalance but I'm never expecting the second, even from a person who always does two.

Then how do you deal with the 3 pronger - common in France, Belgium amd other places - over there?
