Is it a handshake? A Bear Hug? An awkward wave from afar? ~~Grinding from behind?~~ Just curious as to what the protocol is for meeting creepy internet strangers

Try doing it more then once. It worked for me!

I feel like I know you guys so I would just go for the hug or shake. Maybe because I'm not that shy.

it would be good to get it sorted out in advance so there's not a lot of handshugs-- where one person starts to lean in, then the other person is putting their hand out at the same time.. then its sort of like a hand clasping hugging awkward shuffle.

Or the kisshug? Where you lean in for the hug then it looks like they might be about to do one of those Air Kiss thingies and then you sort of lean forward more with your face, then they don't

I'm a waver until I know the person. Now I leap into their arms and cuddle while they pet my hair. Or a quick hug. Either works

You, though, I would grind from behind, obvs.

I would probably hug most of you, unless I felt someone would be uncomfortable. I'm a hugger to all people that I like. (Which is all of you). However, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

creamsiclechica eav2c and ruby412 have no hope. I am diving on them and giving huge squeezes. If you don't want a squeeze from me, be sure we never meet!!

An I hugger on your list?!
