So I met this girl on Facebook a while ago and Saturday we went out with a whole bunch of mates and had a pretty awesome time. From the word go she was comfortable with my friends and before long we were all hanging out as if she's been friends with us all for years.

One of the things that I really like about her is that she's not Christian like the majority of girls I meet, so it was refreshing for me to go out with a girl who wouldn't eventually engage me in my non-belief and try and save my soul or something.

Great!

Sunday morning when we woke up she noticed a big tree in the front garden and mentioned that she wants to go hug it. Me, thinking it was just a humorous comment on the typical tree-hugging meme, just laughed it off and continued to appreciate my witty new lady friend. Turns out she was more serious than I thought, and when we went outside she did exactly that, except she did more than hug it. It was more like she was praying with the tree or something, holding it in what can only be described as heartfelt empathy.

*awkward*

I didn't want to ask her too much about it right then. We were all pretty drunk the night before.

Who hugs a tree? Is this some kind of hippie religion or something?
 
Maybe if you'd given her some wood, she wouldn't go around hugging trees 
 
Did she force you to hug a tree? If not, then who cares what she is doing. I would find it odd, but then again i have so many strange quirks that I dont notice...
AS long as what she does she doesnt force on you then what difference does it make? If...she tried to make me stop eating meat or feel bad about it, then its all over
 
Odd but just see what happens in the future,maybe it was just a joke.If she is hot just forget about it :D

So, instead of converting OP from non-belief, he is now threatened with shaving the whales. Shoulda gone with Jesus...

Yeah I know it's not a big deal really. I was just hoping for some insight into this strange thing called tree-hugging. I could have just Googled it, but I thought it would be nice to get some opinions.

:D Yeah I'll just forget it.
 
You meet someone on the interwebz and then you're surprised they hug trees? You should be glad it wasn't a 45-year old fat dude in a fursuit. Seriously, it's not a big thing. You might find out later that she has a mental ilness like vegetarianism (although then she'd be eating the plants she loves so much) so I don't know. Don't be quick to judge her over something like this.
 
Uhm, I think it's pretty obvious why I'd ask. *looks at thread title* :D

What makes you hug the trees?
