Um... I'm not that close with anyone, and I don't really like touching in general...
I used to grudgingly humor my aunts and girl cousins by hugging them, and now it's really just how they prefer to say hello and goodbye. I don't think any of my girl cousins dislike hugging, but I know girls who see hugging as something that needs to be reserved for an intimate relationship and can't be used with friends.
As for the guys, we usually do salutes, dorky handshakes, regular handshakes, or just wave and say, "See ya 'round, dude/dawg/homes/buddy". And, yes, I regularly use all four of those because I'm dorky that way. I mostly just use dude, though. ;)
