To Hug or Not to Hug.....that is the question

Michelle Obama hugged the Queen and some are saying that cross a line and stepped outside proper protocol. So, when do you think it is appropriate to hug someone.
Amber - I am a hugger! I still think that a first meeting is not the right time to hug someone (unless you are joining their family). At least two meetings, not related to work, would be o.k. But there are those people that you get the "don't hug me" vibe from. And you never should.
Tyler - Generally friends or family that I haven't seen in over a month are the only people that get a little sugar from me. I have had the occasional first meeting hug from a listener. As long as it's a lady fan........lol
What's your hugging protocol. Would you hug the Queen, the checker at your local grocery store, your new boss????
