If a person suddently came and asked for a hug

Would you assume you where at at anime convention. 'cause it wouldn't be normal for it to be so casual?

Haha, this reminds me of Spyrochat from a while back. tongue

In the US it's considered pretty weird to hug strangers, but from what I've heard it's not so weird in some other countries.

Well i guess if its family you haven't seen for a while or if you go far away that its then considered normal. Nah i think its the same rule where i live. I doubt anyone would be... Oh yeah. It will probably be like "dude go away" like really awkward.

i would hug them. i don't find it awkward or really bad or anything. it'd just be a little outside my comfort zone. then again, talking to strangers is also outside my comfort zone, so whatever.

I hate people asking to hug me (or even worse, hugging without asking) when they don't even know me. It has only ever happened to me at cons but I really hate it

Oh, this reminds me of a story.

I was at the arcade playing DDR when a guy came over to watch. And by "watch" I mean yell from behind the machine monitor while I was trying to concentrate on a tough song. When I finished the song he tried to start a conversation. You're really good, how do you do that, all the typical stuff from someone who's never seen a pro player and can't tell the difference between that and my level of play. Anyway, he then went in for a hug. I hugged back like an idiot because I'm socially awkward like that and never came up with a plan for what to do when hugged by a random dude. So then I guess he gets the idea that I like him and starts flirting so obviously that even I could tell what his intentions were.

Yeah, not a big fan of random hugs. tongue

I don't frequent anime conventions, so I didn't know this kind of thing happened regularly, lol. It would be weird for me if I didn't know the person. Honestly I would probably be on a spectrum from disturbed to flattered, depending on the person doing the hugging.

Most anime con goers fall in the disturbing category. Those who don't aren't the ones asking to hug you

It it was a girl I wouldn't object. But I kid I kid. No that is kinda awkward. If it's not someone you know.
