In reply to Re: Re hugs IRL and the (((((( )))))) kind.........., posted by Dinah on August 2, 2009, at 0:11:01
Dear Dinah,
I appreciate both replies!
It's someone like you who I am more concerned with!! Someone for whom it is really a very major issue. So thanks for that input & good point about that one time causing the tears that were exactly what were needed.
Thx for your 2 suggested ways of stating it also.
I guess it depends on a lot of things really. Like how well one knows the other person, etc.
And on people's sense of humour even. Because I could even say something like, "I'm a person who really likes hugging, so step forward if you'd like one!" And then smile & say my next sentence so that there wouldn't be an awkward gap if the person didn't move forward for a hug!
:-)Thx for your input about this.
It wasn't until being here at PB that it even occurred to me that people might not like hugs!! However, there are lots of people IRL who I would NOT want a hug from!
:-)) Kath
