What would you do if a total stranger came up to you in public and tried to hold your hand?

A student decided to put this to the test and posted the results on YouTube.

The video has gone viral with more than 2.5 million views as of Friday morning.

See below to watch it!

The concept of 22-year-old Andrew Hales' mission is simple; he walks up to a stranger on campus at Utah Valley University in Orem, nonchalantly holds a random person's hand, and films their reactions.

In the video, Hales gets strange looks and startles many.

At least one person holds his hand for a few seconds.

So how would you react if someone did this to you?

    Obama refocuses terror threat level

    Obama is not claiming final victory over extremists who still seek to kill Americans and other Westerners. Instead, he is refocusing the long struggle against terrorism that lies ahead, steering the United States away from what he calls an equally frightening threat — a country in a state of perpetual war.
