Kissing.....

It happens on almost a daily basis. I go in for the 3rd kiss and the recipient moves away after the 2nd. Or I'm the one to pull away after number 2 and the other kisser almosts falls on me as they lean in. Why is it that something so commonplace in France, kissing hello, is always so confusing? Even for the French.

I found this link which shows a map of the different departments of the country and how many kisses are the norm in that area. I quite like living in the 3 kiss zone, that is, if both kissers are aware of the fact......
