Just thought of this...are you a handshake person, a hugging person, or a kiss on the face person, or....?

Usually, I am a handshake person-when meeting someone for the first time, but when meeting people from the boards, I am a hugging person. I have found that most PJ people are hugging people...unless they are from Seattle. :lol: (there was a serious discussion about this)

What type of person are you when meeting a person from the boards, or in general?
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    typically a cold, blank stare will suffice

    I am definitely a hugging person. I find that most people are okay with it even upon first meeting. The only time I do the handshake is in a professional situation where I haven't met someone before.

    It's settled, from now on I hug every soul I meet. And if necessary, freeze them in carbonite.

    I can do a bro hug only if at least 5 years has passed since our last meeting.

    Interesting question & responses.

    Handshake until I know them better and then I go by their rules as long as it is not uncomfortable. If you are a hugging person you get a hug. If you are a handshake person you get a handshake.

    Personally, I would leave it as a handshake unless I am very close to the person but I like to make people feel comfortable. (Within the limits!)
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
