So here's the thing; I have a new friend who I've only met once or twice but every time I see him, he reaches in for the kiss-hello. He's a nice guy and I don't want to insult him, but that's just a bit to intimate for me, especially in public.

So anyway; can anyone recommend a way to get him to back off without insulting him?

EDIT: in case it's not obvious, I'm talking about a cheek-kiss here.
