I am not the most huggy person by nature. I grew up in a family that didn't really hug and kiss too much. This all changed when my Dad got remarried the second time and I found myself in a supremely "hug and kiss" family. It took awhile to get used to.
I really need to feel a connection with someone in order to want to hug them. So the people I do hug should feel honored :-)
It is never my first reaction with meeting a new person to haul off and hug. I am a hand shaker. It presented itself this weekend when I met up with a new friend. He went in for a hug and I stuck my hand out for a handshake. It was slightly awkward for a few seconds but did not put a damper on a lovely walk on a very warm spring day.
