here's a question for the network:

why would an ally kiss you on the cheek?

i know it's a greeting gesture in some cultures, but there are also other connotations and it's just plain confusing. no explanation was given, either. it's just really confusing and i don't get it.

thx for any insights anyone might have.

I meant they had fun talking to you, of course!

Why's it out of the question? [it couldn't be because you're embarrassed, could it...]

i strongly doubt this was the case.

it would be awkward, that's why.

[greatseal]

Awkward because you just think of them as a friend and you don't want them to get the wrong idea

or awkward because you DON'T just think of them as a friend and you're afraid they don't agree

don't know. it's going to take a lot of thinking to figure that out.

[And that's scary.]

Well... I hope you do.

Maybe a different friend could help you figure it out, face to face.

[...Huh?]

I do not have friends.

[That's not entirely accurate.]

except for one person who just won't give up on it. not much of a choice there.
