* Ha? Ging?
Ou! Huggings!
Yeah.

* What a beautiful idea for a web site!!! I'm very affectionate and so is my family. Hugging is a natural way that we relate to each other. Sometimes it is frowned upon in this country (USA) to be so expressive but it is such a part of me that I cannot repress it. I have found that as I have gotten older that people like me for who I am and that they enjoy my hugs. Its good to know that there are others who feel the same way!

* Well, I don't really have a lot to say. I just wanted to offer some suggestions for hug-type smileys. I've seen both [] and {} used to represent a hug. If you want little person, I'd suggest something along the lines of O-|-< :)-|-< O-|-<|= instead. The idea is that the person is holding his/her arms wide open, ready for a hug. (BTW, the third body is supposed to be a woman, see the skirt?) I'm sure you can come up with your own ideas for hugging smileys, but I thought I'd start things off for you. 8)

Hi! I'd just like to say that hugging and cuddling with the people you love is the most beautiful and pure way to share your love. Hugging is the sweetest way to show that you have feelings and care for someone. When someone huggggs me, I feel someone's arms around me, I feel secured and loved.

* Hi. Folks!
I also love hugs, but in the office at my work they seem so out of place. We have a few "huggers" who like the famous TV proponent will hug anyone, any time---so much so that we say "here comes the hugger" and few of us want any of his hugs. How to hug and not make it phony? How to know when, where, how? I'm sorry, but in the workplace it's all so complicated--especially if the person receiving the hug seems or is embarrased by it. So--my best hug was received from one of my students who somehow just knew I was depressed and needed a hug. It was a friendly type, in a public hallway, that told me she just understood. It was five years ago and I still know why and who? It was the last hug I got in an academic setting.

* I found my other half almost two years ago. It all started with a glance. Our first night ended with a hug. Every time we get together and seperate it ends with a hug. I love to recieve hugs from her and to give them to her. Hugs are kind of like kisses. You can always tell about their feelings and mood from a hug. She's usually better at reading me in that regard--Obviously! Since I am a large male. Hugs are great--Don't be afraid of them.

* I embrace this site! I love hugging myself, but in my family it is not common to do so. Now i have come to realize that i've been missing this "hug thing" so very much, that i feel the need to catch up! I love to hug, but there is only one problem...or should i say an uneasyness.... I am gay myself and most people know that. But when i put my arm around someone's shoulders or want to give someone a hug, and that person is a female too.... well, sometimes i feel them "stiffen" when i do that. I act like i didn't noticed that, but i makes me very sad some times, because there is really no need for them to be afraid or something! Of course, with my str8 friends that's not the case, but i am a person who loves to hug! And that doesn't make it easy, 'cause i feel rejected and not accepted when people turn away. But if anyone needs a hug.... let me know!

* H- Hold
* U- Unity
* G- Greatest

* The word hug can have many different meanings. For myself the meaning is for two individuals to unite as one. Physically, mentally and spiritually. It's more than a gesture of body movement. When two people touch there is contact of the individuals aouras. This goes beyond our day to day experinces. I have someone in my life who I "HUG" daily. He is my soulmate. Although we have never looked into each others eyes, or touched each other phsically. We do have a bond. It's on a spirtual level. The angels have brought us together for a reason. He is part of my life and part of my soul. I would love to take him in my arms physically, but at times thats not possible. We live thousdands of miles from each other. Our moment will come. Our relationship is still very real. He has become part of my daily life. Until that moment I will look up to the dark night sky. Knowing he is looking at that very moment. Our hearts will meet at the moon. Embracing interlocking and never letting go......... I "hug" him, "kiss" him, and "caress" him.....forever. We were ment to be.

* The best hugs I have ever received have been from my mother...No matter under what circumstances or how much I'd shy away my mother would grab me and give me a hug. As a adolescent I thought I was too old for this and valued my space. I could see my mom's hurt when I would refuse to give her a hug. Later , I'd go to her and she would had her arms wide open for me. These memories I now hold dear as at age 19, I lost my mother to cancer. I remember her always when giving my family and close friends hugs. This has become a tradition and a beautiful memory for me.

* Hugging is fun.

* I got my first hug very recently. I was not used to hugging people before and when this cute girl hugged I got really excited. Eventhough we've hugged lots of times after that, I still cannot forget my first Hug!!!

* All i can say is that your page is so true and very appropriate. I LOVE IT! I too feel the same way about hugs, and searched INFOSEEK under "hugs" and found your page. A couple listings down I found some thing called send a hug and i ended up sending one to my boyfriend. He LOVED it..... just shows you how hugging is apprecited by EVERYONE! By the way, check it out.... www.shop-the-net.com/hugs (i think) put a link or something to it, cuz it's so appropriate and I love it! Thanks again for proving to the world that hugging is so important!

* When I was a little girl my sisters would call me "Velcro Girl" because I would always be hugging them. I used to stand in the doorways of our house and say I was setting up a "Hug Toll" and that in order to pass, a person must hug me. Now I am usually afraid to hug people, but I always know I can go hug "my" beautiful kids I nanny for - kids are great for hugging :) So are boyfriends, of course , but they are not always in as ample supply!

* The best hug for me is an all night hug where you and someone close just spend the whole night together in one big long hug. Lovely. the duck who knows.

* Hugs.... those warm, healthy, sensitive ones.... there are many good hugs like this when you meet an old friend at railwaystation, but best of best is of course my darling in this sensitive,long hug with the whole soul in it... no words, just feeling, just unity.Amen !!!!!

* The one thing I love about my boyfriend is his hugs! It's like our bodies were made for each other! The other day we had a 15 minutes hug waiting for the train! All I can remember thinking was how happy I was! I think hugs are heaps better than kisses, and as long as my boyfriend keeps giving me thoose get hugs, I'll love him forever!

I loved this page! This was a breath of fresh air for me, and I am jealous because I don't have anyone to hug... most of my friends are in cyberspace. Is there any chance that hugs could be transmitted electronically like a smiley?
Great page - I have recommended it to all my friends! (Hoping I might get a hug :)
