Don't overthink it. First dates are just that: first dates. I usually go for a "Hey, great to see you!" and a quick hug (if that). I put sex on the first date no-no list.
I would do a quick hug. You already know the guy so it might help to break the ice.
I usually do the kiss on the cheek because that is the rule where I live. I remember doing that while living in the US and the guy thought that I was going to kiss him so that was really awckward.
Ditto on the negative. My worst date ever was with a guy who bitched about everything. I think I finally got him to admit that the food was good. I was si ready to get home after that.

I always kiss my friends male or female on the cheek as a greeting...it's the norm in my circle. Even at work to thank someone or if they're having a rough day or at the holidays (not a daily greeting of course). So I wouldn't feel weird kissing him on the cheek, but he's from a different state where I think hugging as a greeting my be the norm...lol..I'm over thinking this!
