I refused a kiss on the cheek from a male acquaintance

Courtney

Was it wrong for me to do this? He’s kissed me on the cheek in the past. He does this to a lot of the females in our circle, but I personally prefer if he doesn’t do it to me. When he went in to greet me through hug and kiss today, I accepted the hug but pulled away from this kiss. He said sorry immediately and immediately conversed with others. I didn’t really know how to react after that. I noticed he wouldn’t hang with the group for the rest of the night. He separated with another person from the group. That other person was someone I was hoping to talk to more. If he felt hurt I didn’t mean to cause that, but honestly the cheek kissing makes me uncomfortable.
