I just had a younger cousin kiss me on the cheek...friends sometimes kiss on the cheek...in some places it's a CUSTOM to kiss eachother on the cheek.

Affection does not equal passion.

Think about it, you all you to kiss your parents when you were younger. You're(hopefully) not romantically involved with them.

This is why I don't like shipping..people get all stubborn and defensive. I've had people shout at me for not accepting their COMPLETELY NOT CANON couples as canon.

And then some angry shippers sent Kristian Stewart death threats when she broke up with the actor who played Edward.

I don't ship, because people get riddiculous. I don't ship, because people come up with the dumbest things, sometimes, and ignore the characters actual personalities to make their couples work. I don't ship, because to me, half the fan-couples out there are an INSULT to the creators of the series. You are right,a kiss on the check dont mean"OMG i love you man"a kiss on the check generally is a friendly gesture. A kiss on the cheek is affection, but not romantic affection. As someone else mentioned, kids kiss their parents on the cheek. I know mine do. However, it is a very different level of affection entirely.
