Are guys supposed to initiate hugs?

Anonymous
This girl who rejected me in the past I think is starting to like me...

Anyway 2 days ago I asked her for a hug after getting her Christmas present yesterday(a day early), but she was sorta in a rush to go. She just gave me a quick and very brief frontal hug where she put her one arm around my shoulder, and I'm kinda thinking because it was brief and not much chest contact, then that means I did something wrong... I don't know lol

Anyway I was thinking of doing a good bye hug yesterday after work(we're both 18 btw) but I chickened out thinking about the previous hug. What happened was my shift was over but she wanted me to hang around her cause she was bored... so we had a short AWKWARD conversation and I was thinking of initiating the hug but chickened out

So anyway are guys usually supposed to initate hugs? I don't want to force her to hug me if she doesn't want too

One thing though is that she still talks to me as usual(after the hug), still texts me alot, and when I texted her something cute "you know, if you get lonely over break you got my # to hang out ;)" she said "haha ill think about it ;)"
Yes men should initiate hugs
Doesn't matter who initiates
You're over thinking her hug!
She's not interested
