I have recently learned something about myself... I give off a strong hug me vibe. I recently posted a few items on Craigslist to sell and was pretty successful in this endeavor (although I am a sucker and always sold the items for less than I had asked in the posts). I was so successful that three different people decided to tip me... in the form of a hug. Really? A hug? Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional hug but only from people I know, and even then I am a bit stingy. I really have to be in the mood. If you are a friend I haven't seen in a long time or a family member who needs comforting, these are when I give hugs. I do not hug it out with strangers who just bought my grandma's old dresser. So why did these three different women (they were all middle aged women) feel the need to hug me as they were leaving? I find it very odd.
On a side note, when I am back East I am still not a big hugger, but I am a cheek kisser (not that cheek- stop thinking like a 12 year old boy). Everyone kisses you on the cheek back there... when in Rome.
