Let's say you're in a bar with a group of friends and acquaintances.

 

At the end of the evening, you give everyone a friendly goodbye hug and this one guy/girl who you barely spoke to gives you this nice warm hug.

 

What's your reaction?

It would be a nice thing. Everyone is hugging so why should somebody be left out?

I meant this person would give you like a big hug like you were their best friend they haven't seen in ages.

 

Freaked out, normal or flirty?

A big hug from a stranger? I bet that surprised you. :laugh:

 

I'll go for a little freaky or maybe flirty.

 

Was he giving bear hugs to everybody else or just you?

Unless the person came across as sleazy/creepy during our short meeting I wouldn't mind. I'm down with hugs :cool:

I would probably assume he was feeling the love...ie, had a few drinks...if I knew for a fact that he had one or fewer drinks I would think he was being friendly. Some people are just like that. I meet people (men and women) all the time I would never hug if the decision were left up to me, but that give me huge warm hugs after meeting. Not that I have a problem with it, I'm just not a touchy-feely person.

Happened to me before albeit in a slightly different manner. Me and my friend were walking around campus and this girl my friend knew talked to us for a few minutes before she left for home and gave us both a hug before leaving. I had just met her and had never met her boyfriend (whom my friend also knew). I was a little taken aback but went with it anyway. Both she and her boyfriend are good friends of mine now and I now know that it's just part of her personality to randomly hug people she barely knows.

Just happy, no big deal, unless....

I've had a few first dates that started out with big hugs. It was the first time I met them. :)

Same here. Most start that way, actually.
