Hugging comes pretty naturally with a person you've been close to for many moons.

 

 

What about earlier in a relationship? I'm not one for aggressive first moves ( like suddenly hanging her upside down from a chandelier and kissing her upside down)

For me the intimacy builds slow. In the past I usually find a reason to briefly hug a woman that I'm considering. Eventually one of these quick hugs will become a long lingering hug. I figure it makes my warm feelings for her known. That's my way and it usually leads to good things. But I'm no player and my tally isn't high.

 

 

So ladies, in the early stages, what hugs do you like. This assumes the guy is someone you're developing an interest in.

The " I can't breath" bear hug?

The gentle but immobilizing hug?

The very gentle hug?

The more hands/less arms hug?

The maximum contact standing full body hug?

etc?

I think the 'spontaneous hug' is best.

 

Beware of overthinking.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see "hugging" as something I'm doing with a guy I'm dating and/or interested in romantically - unless it's like I'm greeting him at the airport, consoling him, etc.

 

I'm used to a guy reaching out and kissing me or putting his arm around me. Don't see a "hug" as a primary means of greeting between me and a guy I'm into romantically.

 

I come from Hispanic culture where the men - even those who are not romantically interested in you - will greet you with like a sort of hand-shake/hand-holding and a kiss on your cheek.

 

This "hug" thing is a concept I just don't get. "Friends" hug each other, IMO,

Every woman is different but anything that prohibits or restricts movement is problematic.

As a guy, I usually give ladies the full body hug so they feel the erection poking them in the belly.

 

Classic!!!?

I agree, i dont think hugs are very romantic at all.

I much prefer an arm on the shoulder, a hand on the small of the back, a kiss on the cheek, holding hands, and kissing eventually.

 

Hugs are for my mum.

Your hug definitions are awesome.

 

The gentle but immobilizing hug?

 

Upcoming police seminar?^^

 

I think it depends on what both are comfortable with, and the situation. I once knew a girl who was very anti-hug. I hadn't hugged her before. It just came up in conversation that she didn't like being hugged in general. So I never tried. I was out and hadn't seen her for several days. When I saw her again, she looked shy and quietly asked, "can I give you a hug?" so I was like ok np. And she squeezed super hard. That was the "'I can't breath' bear hug" :p Up to the person and the situation.

oh lordy... lol

100% agree. not a hugger, not a fan of hugging, don't want to be hugged by my boyfriend unless someone died or we just reunited after a long time apart or something. not everyone likes hugs OP :)

The make out hug?

 

I agree with some others here - I huh my friends when I greet them - but someone I am romantically involved with - not so much (although I never thought about it!).

 

Guy friends get the one arm over the shoulder side by side hug, girls get a two arm frontal.

 

I have a business client who always hugs me - two arm frontal - F'ing wigs me out. No moleste! I have firmly put him in the perv category now (he pulled this "hugging greeting" the first time I met him).

 

But a guy I am seeing? Well - I love kissing, and I love to grab him, pull him close, grab his ass and pull him closer - and make out ;)

Or hand around my waist and in my back-pocket of jeans. I just love seeing couples walking and both and/or one of them have their arm around the other, with hand in back-pocket :love:
