Unless there are real extenuating circumstances (see my posting on the
dancing man in soc.singles), I do not kiss strangers.  Especially
strangers that come up and ask me if they can.  Especially not while
on a bus.

However, this has NOTHING whatsoever to do with morality.  I am not
avoiding kissing them because I don't want to appear a slut or
preserve my reputation or whatever silly moral reason you want to pin
on me.  I simply consider it bad taste (no pun intended). 




I'm not strange.  You are.
