Say you see an old male friend, you were friends without being romantically involved. Hug, kiss on the cheek, or handshake? (doubt many will say handshake)....or nothing?

A hug will do. Kisses are for the exceptionally close only--for me, that is.

Don't normally hug, kiss or shake hands with my friends unless something bad happened or we've entered some sort of financial agreement. How about some good catch up conversation?

Say goodbye, nice to see you again. I'm just not touchy feely with people outside my hubby and kids.

I'd say a hug. Depending on the culture, a kiss on the cheek is also appropriate. To me, you can never go wrong with a hug.

No body contact. A warm smile will do just fine.

I vote for a hug. If I am meeting her at the airport I will go a step further and do a pat down just to be safe (you never know these days)...
