* (((((((((TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL BEINGS))))))))))))))

* My fiance and I have been together for 10 months and is not much of a hugger and I am. He does not understand. We have been friends for 6 years and when we were younger he understood and likes to hug me but now it is like he has to hug me. I hate this feeling. I want to hug him all the time and then some. How can i get him to like hugs and want to give them freely? We are supppose to get married and I do not want to divorce him over not getting enough hugs. I do not think that I could like without hugs.

* What a great site... I am a single woman, and hugging my best friend is one of the most fulfilling parts of our relationship. Every time I see her, we laugh and cry and talk and work, and whatever we are doing together, but when we say goodbye, there is always a hug. Sometime it is a quick "I gotta go" hug, but most often, it is a long "I love you and am glad you're in my life" hug. Those hugs tell us both alot about how we are feeling and what is going on deep inside. Sometimes when we first say hello, we will hug, and that set's the stage, theme, mood for the entire visit. When you are very close to someone, a hug conveys all your feelings without any words. Thanks for giving me a chance to express this ... hugs to all.

* Hello huggers! I have a little experience here that you might be interested in. I would like to share it with you. I liked a girl a short while ago. Our relationship began with small, short hugs, and finally culminated into longer, more assertive hugs - squeeze-hugs, I called them - tight, warm embraces. One evening, when I hugged her goodnight, she patted me on the back, instead of squeezing. This was a very curious thing, and I read the body language very accurately, it seems. Two days later she explained to me she just wanted to be friends. She had never patted me before while in an embrace - strong evidence that hugs convey feelings, AND the fact that pat-hugs are generally reserved for friends only. Thanks for listening.

** All I can really do is hug my boyfriend in my dreams, in my mind... He is much too far away from me. I'm in Texas and he is in London... sometimes he calls me in the morning and wakes me with a kiss.. when he does this i just feel this great big hug that comes along with the kiss and I feel the most beautiful sensation in my heart... then a warmth fills my whole bo dy... all I can really do when this happens is smile... and boy do I smile big! The funny thing is...we still have not met.. our meeting was on the internet... and we no longer chat that way.. God let us bump into each other on cyberspace ...and now eventhough we have come to know and care for eachother very much... we lack one thing... a hug...to demonstrate how much we really feel...but it's okay.. meanwhile we can close our eyes and feel like we're hugging in the sky...then of course.. we kiss!...

*** I love hugs and I wish that I could just hug anyone I want to when I want to. However there there is something called boundaries and respecting people's space. With my good friends we usually don't have to ask for hugs because we can usually tell whether they will mind or not. Actually, I rather appreciate when someone says, "Can I have a hug?"

**** When things get really bad be it at work or other part of my life....there is nothing like a good hug from a child. It is so honest & pure . It takes all my worries away .

***** My husband is not a hugger. I have spent the last 11 years with him. I get my hugs from my children. We have 2 boys ages 12 and 10. When I get a hug from them it means alot. When I get a hug from my husband it is because I begged for it. It has been this way from the start. I thought that I could deal with it but I just don't know anymore. Thanks for listening.

****** I always was a great fan of hugging people. As a child I couldn't get enough of hugging my parents and brother. Since a few months I have met the most wonderful man of the world (the way I see it of course). There's not a single day without a hug; he hugs me when I'm a little bit down or in a bad mood, he hugs me when I'm sad and when I had bad dreams. There's not a day without a hug! I never knew that you can get addicted to hugs, but I am. I need that warm, physical contact, just to know that there's someone who cares for me, and is there when I need him. I feel so much love when I'm hugged, that I can say it's the best thing in a persons life.

***** The best hug I have ever recieved was on my 19th birthday form a boy who is very special to me. He is severly mentally diabled and cannot hear or speak. But o n my birhday I sat with him on my lap an he leaned forward and gave me a big hug . It was the best birthday present I ever recieved!!

**** An interesting site to be in. I absolutely agree with you that hugging is a necessity of life! Well, being as an Asian ...... hugging is not something that is commanly accepted here.! You don't want to be a fool ...... especially when you hug someone open ly..... you'll be watched!!!!!.....as if you have done something shameful.
I'm a Malaysian (Country=Malaysia). I love hugs..... That's how I survive after a rough day at work. My boyfriend is quite a big fellow. I like to hug him coz...... he's so huggable! I hug him on all occasions. Wheather I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm hurt or after a fight with him (Hugging is the best way to tell him that I'm sorry!)

*** hugs are a way of saying "I love you" without words.I hug my parents siblings,friends, boyfriends,babies.... I LOVE HUGGING don't be afraid to do it.Besides it is true "you can't hug without getting one in return. One experience I had was when I had to leave my best friend - we hugged and cried and laughed.It was sooo therapeutic - I miss him and now we still hug in the sky! "hug" there that one was JUST for you! See ya!

** I like to hugg my "mamma"

*"A Hugg... Is a very special gift , It can always be returned and one size fits all."
I don't know who said this, but it has become an important part of my life. My hugging experiences started while receiveing treatment for an inoperable lung cancer, almost 9 years ago. Except for my wife and children I wasn't much of a hugger. Given the opportunity to face my mortality, I came to realize one of the easiest ways to xpress my love to my family and friends was an inexpensive hug. My hugs are not restricted to family, but are given freely to my friends, both long-time and new, and not restricted to the opposite sex. At first some of my long time male friends found this odd to accept, but they have come to realize my hugs mean they fill an important part of my heart. I don't understan why the American culture readily accepts hugging between females but looks sideways at two men expressing their feelings.
Give someone a HUG today, it's sure to brighten their day!
