I've kissed 21 people, lifetime, and half of those are blood-relatives. Including simple pecks. So kissing is proportionately a big deal for me... with significant emotional content.
By the way, the whole French 'proffer handshake' thing is an interesting social game in itself. My understanding is that the French body language here is that the person who feels 'dominant' in a situation is the one to offer the handshake. I've felt tempted to play games with this with some particularly annoying French collaborators. You might also like to try it.
