Hugs are a great way to express affection. Hugging shows that you care about someone and support that person in good times and bad. However, you want to hug your crush or lover, unlike hugging your friends or family members. Read on for some tips on the best ways to hug the people you really care about.
Step
Method 1 of 5: Hugging the Person You Like
Step 1. Approach the person you like carefully
Smile and say words of love or praise. Make sure that he wants to be hugged! It can be very awkward if you come and hug someone out of the blue, especially in the city.
Hugs often occur at celebratory occasions such as birthday parties, graduations, or when two people reunite after a long absence (this may be a great time to give someone a hug)
Step 2. Lean forward and place your arms around the person you like, gently pushing him or her closer to you
You are lucky!
- If you are a man, his arms should be around your neck, and you should wrap your arms around his waist. Hold the position for a few seconds and release as soon as he releases. Look into his eyes as you let go of the hug and continue the conversation casually.
- If you are a woman, wrap your arms around her neck and press your chest slightly against hers. Release as soon as he releases. Do not linger or you will look desperate to hug him.
Method 2 of 5: Hugging Friends
Step 1. Go towards your friend
Give him a sweet smile.
Step 2. Hug your friend
- Woman: Close your eyes and think about how much you love your friend when you hug. Hug him as tight as you want but not too tightly. Don't pat your friend on the shoulder when you hug them. Some women think that you don't like it if you do that.
- Man: Hug tightly and pat each other's upper back. If you are in an emotional moment, hold the hug a little longer and don't pat each other on the back.
Method 3 of 5: Hugging Your Lover
Step 1. Approach your lover and place your hand on his shoulder
This experience is romantic for anyone who hugs.
Step 2. Look into your lover's eyes and say "I love you
If you want it, tell him how much you care and love him in every second you spend together.
Step 3. Drop into your lover's body
Hug the person you love as long as you want.
-
Man: Slowly lower your hands from his shoulders, place them around your partner's waist and move them around his lower back. Put your head on his shoulder and push him closer to you for as long as you want.
- If you want, you can give him a little massage with your hands and try to warm him up.
- You can also lift it up and transfer the weight to your body. Women like it very much.
- When you let go of the hug, you can look into your lover's eyes, smile sweetly, and if the situation is right, kiss him lovingly.
-
Woman: Extend your arms to him and wrap them around his neck and shoulders. Lean as close as possible and push your chest against his.
- In very intimate situations, locking your feet in his is also possible.
- Avoid putting your arms under his shoulders and hugging him too tightly, even if you're almost the same height as him.
Method 4 of 5: Hugging Family Members
Step 1. Walk over to your family members
Approach your family members with affection. Of course, your feelings won't be the same as how you feel for your crush, lover, or close friend (unless you and your family members are friends too).
Step 2. Hug your family members
Continuing to talk while hugging is fine.
- Where you put your hands doesn't matter because the person you're hugging won't think much of it.
- Press gently. You don't have to hug him so hard.
- Quickly pat your family members on the back. Smile when you let go of the hug.
Method 5 of 5: Tips That Work For All Types of Hugs
Step 1. Only hug if the person you want to hug extends their arm to you
If he doesn't look like he's ready to hug you, you're probably going to put it off.
Step 2. Greet him as you hug him
Whether it's you or him asking for a hug, make the person you're hugging feel safe. Act like you two are the only thing that matters at that moment.
Step 3. Avoid hugging too tightly
The best way to determine how tight a hug is is to let whoever you're hugging give you the hug they want by noticing how tightly they hug you. If the hug is soft, then you should hug it gently; if they like tight hugs, hug them the same way.
Step 4. Hold the hug for a moment before releasing
A hug is a great way to show that you care about the person you're hugging because it feels good and can improve the mood of the person you're hugging. Letting go of the hug too soon might make you both feel awkward.
Step 5. Know when it's time to give her a long, loving hug, especially if she's angry or sad
If you feel comfortable, stay still, and hug him until he releases his hug.
Tips
- Hugging your lover should last at least a few seconds longer than hugging your best friend.
- Unless you've hugged him before, don't hug him without asking. Also, use your best judgment to determine where and when to hug someone. In certain situations, you may feel embarrassed if you are seen hugging someone.
- A good approach in any relationship is to walk up to him from a few feet away with your arms open.
- If you are a guy and want to hug him closer, put your head on his shoulder and kiss his neck gently.
- In the "man with man hug," it's very common to pat twice on the back before letting go of the hug.
- Tips for guys – girls love it when you come from behind and wrap your arms around their waists and hug them tight (not too tight!).
- Women love a tight hug. So make sure you hug him a little tight, but not too tight!
- Smile and be friendly if you want to hug the person you like.
- Always smiling. Smiling is a good way to show that you care about that person and not just hugging random people. But don't grimace and be too cheerful. Smile naturally, the curve of your lips is enough.
- Gently wrap your arms around his neck. If he's tall, put your hands under his arms, but rest your head on his chest. Make the situation a bit romantic but not too romantic.
- If you want to hug the person you like, don't be shy! Just meet him and then gently wrap your arms around him while enjoying a comfortable hug with him.
Warning
- Don't hug someone if you're sweaty or don't smell good. Also make sure your breath smells fresh before approaching him.
- Avoid sudden hugs unless the person being hugged knows you're going to hug them. The last thing you want is to drop it.
- If you want to look into his eyes as you hug him, gently place your arms behind his neck. Not too tight or you'll hurt him.
