OMG THIS
I never know if it's appropriate after meeting someone once, or twice. I love hugs, but don't want to put a foot wrong, y'know? And then I end doing the 'going-in-for-a-hug, wait-they're-not-moving, now-they're leaning-the-wrong-way' awkward dance.

The worst bit is the side-kiss-cheek moment too
they go in for a kiss, you go in for a hug, you end up nutting them in the face hole!

oh I've done that
And some friends do two kisses, continental style.
Plus, are you supposed to actually kiss their cheek, or just air-kiss while your cheeks are touching? Some do it one way, some the other.

I know
I've yet to come to a conclusion as to you're supposed to air kiss or actually kiss. I might just start licking peoples faces, that way avoiding the whole mess, no one would come anywhere near me then!

Or, cup them slightly as you kiss/air-kiss

Hahaha
I like this option.

Maybe in Manchester?

I'll bear that in mind
if I'm ever unfortunate enough to have to go there

Ditto!

Arf!

or when you are not
quite ready for the hug and end up doing an awkward side hug. And if you do hug, how hard do you hug? Some times I got for OTT manly pat on the back, it's the only way

If I ever meet you I'm totally going to go in for hugging just one of your legs
to make it super extra awkward.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:08, Reply)

ARGH!
social etiquette is so confusing
wait...are you some kind of dog, dogs hug legs
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:10, Reply)

I'm a kitty
we hug legs too.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:49, Reply)

just hug me, I won't mind

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:03, Reply)

But... but
then people wold have to TOUCH you. I don't think I could bring myself to do it
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:05, Reply)

damn, I missed out
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:05, Reply)

We hugged
You totally loved it
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:09, Reply)

I'm great at hugging
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:10, Reply)

and headbutting?!

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:12, Reply)

not really done enough to make a judgement as to my level of ability

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:13, Reply)

Lets just say ‘adequate’ for now then! :)

(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:14, Reply)

it is certainly fit for my needs

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 26 Jul 2010, 15:17, Reply)

Cool, one man-hug it is
