Personally I think the lady is just out-going and friendly...and I agree with Star, if her hands start to 'roam' that's an entirely different story and is harassment.
I have hugged and been hugged all my life and never thought anything of it until the last few years when anyone and everyone that touches is afraid they might be up for harassment...I think it has gotten totally out of hand...
Poor Leo Buscaglia must be turning in his grave to see how the world has spun out of control; he hugged everyone because he was a sincere and loving person.
To me hugging my husband, Sons, granddaughters, friends is just a natural part of me. What is so wrong with taking someone in your arms when you are greeting them or saying goodbye...how memorable is that wonderful moment of touch...it's like a wordless pledge of love and gratitude for having that person in your life...it's like letting them know what a blessing they are...
Why are innocent moments like those turned into something dirty...I think when we lose the ability to touch each other to express our sincerity in knowing the person and being grateful for them...we will have lost a precious, magical, important part of our lives....
