Signification
To give a kiss as a sign of affection.
Contexte culturel
The 'dos besos' are given starting with the right cheek (your right, their left). It is common between women, and between men and women, but men usually shake hands unless they are family. In Argentina, it is very common for men to 'dar un beso' (just one) to other men as a friendly greeting, which is less common in other Spanish-speaking countries. In Mexico, one kiss on the cheek is the standard for social greetings between opposite genders or two women. It is often an 'air kiss' where cheeks touch but lips do not.
Don't be shy
If someone leans in to give you a kiss, don't pull away! It's a sign of warmth and acceptance.
The 'Air' Kiss
Usually, your lips don't actually touch the skin. It's more of a cheek-to-cheek touch with a kissing sound in the air.
