I don't particularly care to hug someone whom I have never met in person before and haven't gotten to know well enough, yet. Not right off the bat, anyway. Hugging is intimate, especially if it is a full frontal hug...ha. A handshake almost seems too business-like for meeting a possible romantic interest, though.
Thoughts?

It has been a long time since I had a first meet but I am pretty reserved.
I never hug someone I don't know well and even a kiss on the cheek might be too much for me until I know someone more than superficially.
