Yup. That and the fact that you felt a vibe. Yup

Seinfeld... that's what it is. I couldn't put my finger on it, but this definitely reeks of a Seinfeld episode. Not that that's a bad thing, I'll forever love "Man Hands" and "Close Talker." I agree, around the waist means more than around the shoulders... very intriguing indeed.

i'm a "sideler" woman (my boss is a HUGE sideler!) with the "kiss hello" as a close second.

I didn't really watch Seinfeld, so a lot of this is just crazytalk to me.

Since he gave you a side hug around the waist, he could be bi. That totally doesn't seem right, coming from a straight guy.

Jack: Oh, interesting. You gave me the straight-guy, double-pat-on-the-back, no-hip-contact hug.
Owen: Actually it was more the gay-guy, bend-at-the-waist, feel-your-delts, check-out-your-shoes hug.

Thank you for finding a way to quote the W&G ever!!!
