Not all but some of the women, greet him with a kiss on his cheek, so after a while, that gets annoying to him. A friend of mine who was a previous fanclub event, said that when it was her turn, she just shook his hand and he looked at her surprised and said thank you!
The best stories I have heard are the unexpected meetings, when you run into him at a club or restaurant but definitely not with his family. I remember the story of the fan from the last tour in Dublin from this board. He was with his fiance and they meet Jon and he looked happy in the photo with them.

5 minutes? Not... even close. I was on the fanclub trip to meet Richie and was talking to the security guy, and he was saying how with Richie, we'd get more time to chat with him than with Jon. He said "With a photo op with Jon, I can blow through 200 people in 5, 10 minutes tops" as if to brag about how efficient the process was. I got a little over 5 minutes with Richie alone because he wanted to spend time with the fans (and there were only 30 people), I don't imagine Jon is the same way.
