What Does It Mean If A Child Takes A Shine To You Immediately?

[Brian117]

Yesterday I was visiting a friend I haven’t seen in a few years as she moved to another part of the country. She had her little sister with her who is 7 years old and she hasn’t seen me before because she was a baby last time. Anyway, within literally a minute of me going in the house the little sister ran over and bear hugged me and must have hugged me a good 10-15 times throughout the day. We was all laughing hysterically about it and although I thought it was funny I was very surprised and confused as to why she took such a shine to me. It’s not like I had taken the time to speak or show my personality for the kid to see as it was instant. She also said she wanted to keep me there at their house lol. I was very confused about the whole thing tbh.

it doesnt 'mean' anything. that's 7 yo for you

[Old_Geezer]

It means that she doesn't know you yet.

[naomi24]

She’s just a friendly little girl. She probably treats most people like that.

[Brian117]

Bednobs- yes but I’ve come across lots of kids and in my personal experience they tend to be quite shy at first

[andy-hughes]

Children are often spontaneously affectionate, it doesn't 'mean' anything, just accept it as the way some children are.

Can't believe you created another account just to be snidey - whoever you really are.

Maybe you look like you needed a hug or two? I do!

[fiveleaves]

Either just a very tactile, affectionate child or the child simply liked you. Means nothing else. Normal behaviour.

Probably the same idiot who popped in (briefly) last weekend, Ken.

[Brian117]

Ken- who made another account?

Look at the answer @ 17;09 Brian. Account created @ 17;08.

I can't answer your question, but I know what you mean. In a way, children are like animals, some take an instant dislike to you or they are very friendly. Although I'm not sure I have this affiliation with children, there have been times when I've gone to someone's house and almost as soon as I've sat down, the cat or dog has wanted my attention and I've been told they don't do that with other people.

[davebro]

animals react more to smell!

[Barsel]

Perhaps children do as well, who knows?

[Brian117]

Bimewot- I think you need to go and get some help because you’re not well
