Work: Today, I jokingly went over to a an attractive female co-worker...

Today, I jokingly went over to a an attractive female co-worker and said "you look like you need a hug". She told me she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to be touched. No more than 30 seconds after our encounter she ran to give one of our more attractive male co-workers a hug. FML

Today, at work, a weird old woman came up to me and told me that it's okay: being ugly isn't a choice, it's nothing to be ashamed of, and that it's what inside that counts. She then hugged me and walked away. FML

Today, I finally told the girl I've been after for more than a year that I'm attracted to her. Her response? A slight hug with a pat on the back as she said "There, there." FML

Today, while working at the bar, I had a beautiful woman squeeze my bicep and tell me I was in amazing shape. Instead of flirting like any normal human being, I awkwardly said, "Thanks…" and then walked away in shame. FML

Unfinished sympathy

Today, I walked into the office bathroom and saw my manager in tears. I tried to comfort her and gave her a hug. Turns out, she wasn’t crying, she was having a sneezing fit, and looked horrified at my sympathy hug. FML

Today, I told one of my coworkers that she looked really cute today. Later she sent an email to me and cc'd the entire office saying, "It really makes me feel uncomfortable when you say things like that to me. And I shouldn't have to feel that way at work." FML

Today, the girl that I fancy was sick and I offered to hug her, but she protested saying that she didn't want to get me sick. I told her, "If hugging you gets me sick, then I'll just have to deal with being sick." She gave me the biggest hug she could. I haven't stopped puking since. FML

Today, my attractive boss sat me down in the break room to say how much she appreciated how much work I've been doing despite being a temp. She was wearing a skirt, and I couldn't take my eyes off her legs. She then patted me on the leg and said "Good Talk". It wasn't my leg. FML

Dared

Today, I was dared to stand and hold a sign saying, "Free Hugs." This girl I'd never seen before gave me a crushing hug and cried hysterically on my shoulder in the blazing afternoon sun. I couldn't get her off. FML

Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML

Today, as I was leaving the office, I heard my very cute coworker behind me say "Hey gorgeous, where are you off to?" I turned around with a smile and said "About to hit up happy hour." He was on the phone with his wife. I'm calling in sick tomorrow. FML

You are trying to cover up being horny by saying "jokingly". Maybe she actually needed some emotional comfort which she found in the other co-worker. Hope you dint have a hard on while you went for your "jokingly" hug.

Maybe she actually knows the other guy, whereas it seems you don't really know her?

Don't try to blame the lady for your shortcomings. Stop acting creepy and maybe you'll have better luck. And stop excusing your creepiness by calling other people shallow.

If I thought one of my coworkers was being sincere, I'd accept the hug. But... that situation? Sorry, but that comes off as downright creepy. I'd do the same thing in a heartbeat. At least she let you down easy and didn't snub you.

She clearly didn't want a hug from you. Maybe it was because you only offered it jokingly. Maybe it's because you frequently offer her unwanted physical/any other kind of attention. Maybe you're a psycho stalker type and she was just trying to let you down easily so that you don't start following her home. Either way, she let you know in as nice a way possible that she's not interested in being touched by you. Take heed and back off. And be thankful that she was nice about it.

"Hey are you alright?" -RIGHT! "Hey, looks like YOU could use... a hug!!!" - WRONG!

These people telling you to back off are idiots. If you really like her you won't leave her alone until the police get involved.

What, because people don't have a right to choose who they want to hug? Maybe she knew him better. I don't want people I don't know, or *don't like* touching me. End of story. Hugs are even more invasive/intimate, and I only let people very close to me hug me. I agree with some of the others- this post comes off as creepy.
