.... and by the way, it's not unheard of for this kind of approach being used to try to pick up a foreign business contacts and doing this kind of thing to gauge how "willing" the person may be for more intimate relations.
And this excuses not working for three days? Grow up. You have no idea how often or how common it is for us women to have men try to gauge how willing we may be for more intimate relations, even in our enlightened US. Perhaps especially in our enlightened US, where we work 60-80 hours a week.
Really, running out of the room and being rendered incapable of working for three days because some man kissed me on the cheek? You must be joking. Next, she'll say he had cooties.
