A few weeks ago these 2 guys came in to my store and we talked for almost an hour and we become friends. One is 21, the other is 17 and I'm 18. Last night they came again and we talked for a bit. When they had to leave, the guy who's 17 had already taken a few steps away, suddenly stopped, hesitated and turned around to come back and hug me. It was really weird. I even told his friend that and he didn't know what it was about. Maybe he felt bad leaving without giving me a hug... but the fact is that I don't know them very well, and he didn't have to feel obligated to hug me...unless he wanted to.
It was an innocent hug and I know he's not the type of guy who flirts with just any girl. I'm really curious why he acted in such an impulsive way. It was rather awkward moment, at least from my point of view. What do you think? Do you think he likes me?
I think that from what I can understand that he does like you a lot and he would be almost heart broken if you dated his friend but from the sounds of it he is wanting to take is somewhat slow and still see if he likes you .. he thinks that you are definitely beautiful and that he would give a lot to date you but he is right now looking to see what your reactions are and how much attention you give him then he will make his decision on if he thinks about what.
I am not at all interested in his friend, the one who's 21, (who might even like me. I hope not because that would make things complicated...) - 11 months ago
I think he does. He's young and it probably took some courage from him to come and hug you. He probably hesitated because he was thinking "hmm I'm leaving the store now.. I like her and I need to show her somehow.. should I give her a hug? It might be awkward... but if I don't maybe I'll regret not doing anything... ahhhh what the hell, go for it you hot stud!" and then he came and gave you a hug and it was awkward. But he wanted to do something. Giving you a kiss would be too much, and he was too afraid maybe to ask for your number.
That's how I see it.... I might be totally off, but that's approximately what would go through my head if I was to do something like that. So yeah I think he likes you ;)
Yeah, kissing me at work wouldn't be too smooth and I think I would have pushed him away because I've only known him a few weeks and have only seen him twice. I don't like desperate guys, haha. I figured he might like me,because I just didn't expect a hug. - 11 months ago
Answerer
He simply didn't know what else he can do and since he was leaving he didn't have too much time to think of anything better to do...he sounds like a guy that doesn't go around hugging many girls, so you should just be flattered and forget the weirdness :) - 11 months ago

I was flattered! Haha. It was just so unexpected... and I know a hug is not a big deal, but to me it is. - 11 months ago
Answerer
Well a hug can be a big deal if it comes out of nowhere and it's not natural, like in this case. But you should give the guy credit for having the guts to do that (even though it doesn't sound like such a brave thing to do, but to some it is) - 11 months ago

Yeah, I completely agree with you. Thanks! - 11 months ago
