Have you ever hugged someone you didn't know (or has a stranger ever hugged you?)

At church. Also I used to have a shirt with the grumpy dwarf on it from Snow White that said "Hug Me, I'm Grumpy" and some teenage guy came up and hugged me when I was wearing it...I was like "WTF??" and then he pointed out my shirt. It was at the gym so maybe he was high on endorphins.

Yep little old ladies hug me when I do something nice for them. Last hug I got was recently because I was playing that stupid game they have in all the diners with the hook and you have to drop it on something and hope that it closes and you get that stuffed animal. Well I got some stuffed little bear and this little old lady came out and commented on how cute it was so I gave it to her and she hugged me and said I was a real nice boy

My 7 yo loves that game, and he wins most of the time, I have no idea how.

That's so cute Tony, I want to hug you!

Yeah, I have hugged strangers at a pro football game when the home team won last seconds of the game. It was pretty crazy, everyone was hugging who was near them.

A friend of mine started me in on it, everytime we were in a place that had it, he stopped to play it and before long I picked up the habit as well.

My wife is a master of the claw machine! As for hugging strangers or being hugged? No, I won't typically hug a stranger because I won't presume they want me to invade their space. I'd be more apt to allow a stranger hug me but I still have boundries (and I'd check to make sure I still have my wallet.)

No and no. I have no desire to touch strangers or for them to touch me.
