Re: Touchy Feely

Hugs from family are lovely not at all keen on anyone else trying it though it seems to be becoming more prevalent instead of a decent hand shake they grab you and attempt to kiss the cheek. Usually results in me stepping back sharply saying what are you doing in a slightly strangled voice

Yes virtual hugs I can cope with, although I do feel like I know you well enough not to panic Patsy.

Re: Touchy Feely

I have a male friend who insists on kissing me on the lips when we meet and I'm not at all keen on that. I don't mind hugs though and I go to France often where two, three or four kisses on the cheek are the norm.

With those new to me, I'm usually quiet until I have an idea of character.......

I am the exact same as you, Gwyn. I need to know someone well to be comfortable with physical contact, and then sometimes not even then. BTW, what makes people think it is OK to come and stand shoulder to shoulder, touching me, at the public library? Makes me want to shove them away and clout them!

Re: Touchy Feely

I also don't like all this hugging and kissing which is definitely becoming " the done thing " . I just like to smile and say hello or a handshake would be ok . Anything else is an invasion of my space . The only people I like to hug and kiss would be my son , daughter and husband . Don't like New Year because it's worse then !

Re: Touchy Feely

Not keen on my space being invaded, most annoying is people who tap you on the arm to make a point when they're speaking!


However, I was pleasantly surprised to be kissed on the hand, politely, by a bearded gentleman in a top hat!
