What do you think is best! To Receive kisses on the cheeks or to receive a hug??

[Conscience]

So I started seeing my ex regularly, when I see her we use to give ourselves kisses on the cheeks and sometimes she would come forward and give me an additional hug!

 

Last night I saw her and before I left she gave me a really tight hug!

 

Is it better emotionally to receive a hug or kisses on the cheeks ?

I don't understand what's the purpose of your question?

 

Giving you a kiss on your cheek or a hug doesn't mean she is ready to come back to you. If that's what you are asking.

From a woman's perspective what is the difference between both, those a hug display more affection then kisses on the cheeks ?

 

I know she is not ready to return to me we both live separately currently the good news is that we see each other couple times a week for dinner with our kids etc ..... I see this as improvement where's at one point we couldn't even talk, now we not only communicate be see each other and work on our couple to a certain degree.... so the kisses on the cheeks vs a hug wish one is the one that display more emotions or none ?

Oh i see.

 

And I think this differs very much from one person to another person.

 

Personally, no difference to me.. (Maybe I'm weird..)

Hi Conscience,

 

I assume you mean you are seeing your ex as a friend at the moment? If so, I would be very careful not to read too much into hugs, kisses on the cheek, squeezes of the hand etc at this point.

 

Just as an example, only a few weeks after my ex GF of 8 years broke up with me we met to have a catch up as 'friends'. We had a good time together, eating our favourite take away in front of some trash TV, and when she went to leave she gave me a hug and then headed to her car. She then turned around and came back to give me another hug and squeezed my hand. I took that as there could be something there.

 

A few weeks later we fell out over the phone about something tiny, and I mentioned that I had been picking up mixed signals from her with the hugs, kisses on the cheek and hand squeezes etc whenever we met up. She then said she only ever meant them as a friend. After this point she went pretty cold on me - we met up one last time but that was it.

 

So my point is, some people seem to be more comfortable giving out hugs etc and meaning them as friends than others. The other thing to consider is that she may be doing it to see how she feels when she hugs/kisses you on the cheek now that the two of you have broken up.

 

Just enjoy trying to be friends if that is what is working for the two of you but be careful not to read too much into things she does.
