    I used to be a hugger. Now - I want my personal space. Family (if I like you) - I still hug.

    Definitely a hugger! I hug everybody (except at work)!

    Just FYI - I could use one!

    Here's a *hug* for you Glynn!

    I am that coworker who hugs everyone. (Just the women.) And they love it. Nurses need hugs. My workplace was always so serious and everyone looked so depressed. Then I came along and everyone got much needed hugs and it became a happier place. My patients hug me when they thank me for my care, too. It's an instant mood-lifter. Hug therapy, try it. :flowerforyou:

    I love hugging. I don't like handshakes though.

    If I am comfortable with you, a hug is acceptable. As for everyone else, keep your distance!

    My family hugs all the time so in most cases yes. If it's someone I don't know, of course no, but acquaintance's I've known well or for awhile, I'll give them a hug when saying hi. If it's a dude, it's the "man hug".

    How bout everyone else?

    Close friends and family, yes. I don't like to be touched unless I okay it first.

    I don't have anyone in my life because of anxiety issues but if there is one thing I miss like crazy it is a good hug!

    I hug everyone, family, friends and people I just met. They feel good, very comforting. There are different levels of hugs though. I would hug a hot stranger much differently than my buddy that I haven't seen for a while...

    I am a touchy feely person and hugging is just part of it. Italians greet each other with hugs and cheek kisses. Throws off my English friends. Lol

    Totally depends. IF I like you yes I will hug you. If you are some weirdo that insists on hugging me then I hate it!

    As some others have said it all depends.... My son, I hug and kiss and cuddle him constantly and he cuddles me back also. We are very lovey with each other but he is only 3 :) (hopefully never grows out of snuggling his momma)

    With adults... it must be someone I'm very close to, intimately or emotionally... my close friends know that I have kind of a weird thing about touch so only if I'm upset about something would they ever pull me in for a hug.

    With a lover though... I'm very touchy feely, I want to be touched and touch him as much as possible at all times.... to bad he's not the same, this man can't even hold my hand in public.

    I love a good hug, I like to give them and love to receive them, but I am not one to initiate the hug. Weird, I know. I don't think my family was into hugging as I grew up, this has changed now, we all hug now.

    Hug a lot. Family, friends and such. Hand on shoulder, hand shakes, etc with acquaintances.
