How to Hug a Girl

Hugging a girl gives you a feeling of excitement but also anxiety. If you’re like most people, you’re probably stressed about acting right so she knows you care and doesn’t feel shy or scared. Hugging is a natural and emotional act, but it can also be intrusive and upsetting to others. Although everything depends on the hugger, if you know how to hug properly, you will score points in the eyes of the opposite person.

Hug the girl you like

Choose the right time. When you choose to hug a girl is just as important as how you hug her, so choose carefully. The three most appropriate times are:

When you just met her. Greeting your friends with a “friendship” hug is a very lovely gesture (although you want to go beyond just being friends).
In an emotional moment. Whether it’s when the team you both support wins or when she’s having a bad day, a hug is a way to show that you’re there for her.
When we say goodbye. Similar to a welcoming hug, a goodbye hug is a friendly, loving gesture.

Find out if she likes to be hugged. Women often show it through body language when they are comfortable with body contact. Based on the way she stands or the way she greets you, you’ll know if she’s comfortable accepting a hug from you.

Signs that she’s comfortable with hugs:
- She keeps eye contact.
- She ruffles her hair when she’s around you.
- His hips and legs are both facing you.
- Her voice is clear and lively when talking to you.
Signs that she’s uncomfortable with hugs:
- She doesn’t make eye contact.
- Body language with “closed” signs (legs crossed, arms crossed, body facing out).
- She talks to you in a monotone voice.

Approach her tactfully. Avoid rushing in and give her a quick hug. Instead, take a few deep breaths and move closer at a moderate pace to give her time to decide if she wants a hug from you. Maintaining eye contact, move closer to her, then raise your arms and hug her.

If you misread the signal and she doesn’t want to hug, you should give her a second to back off before you move closer. Otherwise, she will feel forced and the situation will make both of you feel awkward.
The advantage of moving slowly is that you will create a sense of romance. Therefore, if she wants to be hugged, a gentle and delicate approach will contain more affection.

Decide how long you will hug. The hug time will tell how important the hug is to you. You can refer to the following basic guide:

The longer the hug, the more affectionate the hug. Hugs longer than a few seconds are usually reserved for important people or loved ones.
A short hug often has a social meaning. A “welcome” and “goodbye” hug should only last about a second or two.

Stop hugging. Return to the starting position after hugging with a firm step. Often you will want to stop in front of her. Stop hugging a few seconds earlier than planned so the hug doesn’t make you feel awkward.

If she starts to let go or you can feel her arms are no longer holding, it’s best to stop hugging. The exception to this rule is the “emotional” moment (e.g. she’s upset and crying or you just kissed her) when you can slowly let go and step back.

End the hug lovingly. How you stop hugging will depend on the situation. If you really like her, then the moment you stop hugging is when you can do something so adorable that she won’t forget. Try the following scenarios:

With a welcome or goodbye hug, you can say “I’m so glad to see you!” or “See you later!”.
With an appreciative hug, often to congratulate receiving an award, a job well done, a marriage, or other important life event. Usually, you just say “Congratulations!”
With a supportive hug, you just need to change what needs to be said to fit the situation. For example, “Everything is fine” or “I’m here” is what you should say.
With hugs for friends, you can say anything that makes a hug extra special. Things like “You were great” or “We were great at that game, weren’t we?” are all suitable.
If it’s a more emotional hug, you should choose your words appropriately. Let’s make every word meaningful!

Find out what each hug means. If you’re feeling nervous, you can read the differences between hugs and figure out which one is best for your situation:

Dance Style: Her arms will be around your neck and yours will be underneath hers. You can place your hand around her waist or her upper back. The lower the position of the hands on the back, the more affection the hug contains. This hug is very emotional – so you need to consider it carefully.
Hug Type: Her hands will be under yours and yours will be around her back and hers will be around your waist. This is a friendly hug that allows her to lean against you and rest her head on your chest.
One-arm hug: This is the least romantic hug because it is usually reserved for friends. With this style, you’ll approach from the side (rather than from the front) and wrap an arm around her shoulder or neck like a typical friendly hug.
T-Rex: Your hands and hers are both at each other’s waist and lower back. That way, both of you can rest your heads on each other’s shoulders. This is a friendly, informal hug.
Hug with crossed arms. Both you and her will bring one hand up and one hand down to make an “x” shape. This hug is suitable for “step back and kiss” because with this hand position, there is enough distance between the two of you to kiss.
Back Hug: This is a hug for the girl you have a close relationship with and she likes surprises but let her know you’re getting close. This type of hug is very emotional and easily redirected to more emotional actions.

Hug friends

Follow instinct. Although, as a rule, people only greet each other with a handshake when they meet for the first time, nowadays people are not afraid to hug when they meet for the first time.

This is more common with groups of friends than when one friend introduces you to another.
Use your instincts but the important rule is that if you get a hug, don’t say no.

Body contact. Body contact should be done quickly and delicately during a hug. If you keep it for too long, it will be misunderstood as a love issue.

Lean over and stoop slightly from the waist. This action is intended to avoid full-body contact, which is only for emotional and personal hugs.
Wrap one arm around her arm and place your hand between the shoulder blades.
Put your other arm around her and put it under your first arm.

Hug quickly and stop right away. Two seconds is the right amount of time for a friendship hug. You should stop hugging immediately after this time and continue chatting as usual.

Advice

Observe her body language. If she wants to be hugged, her hands are left out as if ready for a hug. If she crosses her arms, you shouldn’t try.
Don’t hug her too tightly. She is not a toy to squeeze so don’t act like that. Hug her tight enough but it feels comfortable and she can still move.
Keep the body clean. Unless you’ve just been in a match (or intense physical activity), if your body smells then she won’t have a good impression of the hug.
If she walks up to you from behind, wraps her arms around your neck and rests her head on your shoulder, she’s comfortable with you and showing affection. If you feel comfortable, tilt your head back against her neck to talk.
If you make a mistake, correct it and don’t worry about it. Use humor to dispel feelings of shyness.
If you’re familiar with her, she’ll be more than happy to be lifted and turned by you while you hug her. However, you should also be careful because some girls don’t like it and she will be very upset!
When she’s not happy about herself, make her feel better with a hug. Place one hand near her shoulder and the other above her waist.

Warning

Be careful where you put your hands while hugging to avoid accidental touch.
Don’t hug her too tightly or rush into a hug suddenly.
If she doesn’t want a hug then you should stop. A reluctant hug can be extremely uncomfortable.
If it’s just a casual friend hug, don’t last longer than 3 seconds.
