    Regardless of the nature of the situation, when I am meeting another individual for the first time, I orient myself towards them head-on, strive to look them in the eye; and then advance on them, smiling, as I extend my right hand to shake their right hand. If they are left-handed and have extended their left hand before I extended my right hand, then I will follow suit and extend my left hand. Extending one's hand is; historically; a gesture of goodwill, and God knows our society can use all the good will it can get to bring cohesiveness back into the picture again.

    Sincere Regards, Michaela

    Hi! But if it's somebody extra cool or somebody I knew beforehand online, a hug is usually included

    i wouldn't mind hugging everyone if everyone else did, that would be cool. but you know how people are. well all different kinds of ways actualy. but the way so many people are in the dominant culture, well, besides, not all the time do i want my own thoughts disrupted, so it's kind of a courtisy not to inflict myself on anyone else either. but we're, i guess, talking about a situation, where everyone is there supposedly because they want to be and the're wanting to be social and all that, then i think, that would be really great if we could all hug each other and not have to worry about anyone being offended by that. but you know, some people, some other cultures, wouldn't be very comfortable with that, just like some people arn't in your own and even i wouldn't be all of the time. not bacause of who or what they look like or that, but because like i said, sometimes i'm just, have other things on my mind, working things out, exploring how things work or designing something in my mind, and that's just not a time i'm interested in being any more social then to just avoid making anyone else feel unwelcome or bad or anything.

    so it really depends on what else is going through my mind at the moment. but if anyone wants to hug me or to be hugged by me, well that's really cool.

    i'm just glad it's not something i'd have to be doing all the time.

    but a hug as a tradition of greeting, i think cultures that have that, that do that way, i think that's really a great thing and way of going about to do that.

    it depends. Sometimes I just smile and say, "hi." Sometimes I shake hands. I met someone the other day and we gave each other high-fives. :b I suppose I just go with what feels right when our two personalities mix.

    I am a very shy person, but I do manage to say hello to people, especially those who I get friendly vibes from. I do not say much other than that to people I first meet, but I have been told on more than one occasion that I smile a lot when meeting new people, which I do not even realize until it is pointed out. If someone offers to hug me, I gladly accept. I love hugs, but I am too shy to hug people first.
