There is a girl that works with us, she's very good looking, but she refuses to give/receive any physical contact at work. She won't shake hands with her boss, or suppliers that come in to work with her on something.
Also, she has told me that if she's working at her desk (her back is facing the opening into her cube) and someone walks up on her, she'll get real freaked out. She needs to know if someone is getting close to her. And if she's typing or showing something on the computer to someone else, and they are leaning over her to look, she starts getting nervous and tells them to back off.
Really odd. My guess is that some bad stuff happened to her as a kid or teenager or something.
When meeting anyone in a business environment it's always a handshake and a hello and nice to meet you, or nice to see you again.
With female friends I’ve known for a while it's sometimes a hug. Those who I don't know so well just get a simple hello and a smile.
Then with some of my close guy friends we hug, but then there are a few that i've known 10+ years and I wouldn't even dream of hugging... unless we just won a big sports match.
I never initiate any type of physical contact. If someone else extends their hand for a handshake, I oblige.
I am a firm believer in personal space.

But just buckle it in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "couldn’t be done," and you’ll do it.
What would you do Dak, if someone launched themself on you for a hug?
That would be quite uncomfortable...
Not used to stuff like that.

In a business type of place I give a handshake and a "How are you doing", and if someone asks me in the business environment I say "Pretty good, how about yourself"
When it's just casual with my friends and stuff I just say "sup" and the convo is launched.
The worst is the awkward hug/kiss when you are saying goodbye to someone.
I have a buddy who's wife is a very close talker, and she always goes for the hug at the end of seeing you for the day/night/whatever. I make sure that I plan my goodbye well in advance and give them the ole "See ya later" as a I walk away and perhaps a gunshot type from the fingers.
My buddies and I though........it's more of the high five/ hand slap handshake type of thing guys do.
But we have been known to hug it out Ari Gold style too.

With my close guy friends, it's usually a "'sup" followed by some knucks or that half-ass guy hug if it's been a long time. With girls (outside of my wife, that is), it's usually just a "hello" or the like. Acquaintances get the head nod, usually followed by, "Hey, man..." because I suck at remembering names.
