If a guy gives you long hugs, is he interested?

Why so?

[Kyren]

Usually if people feel discomfort around someone or aren't personally attached to them, they'd find physical contact to be uncomfortable like hugging for instance. A hug alone shows how much they like being around you; a longer hug means more affection and comfort which probably means he likes you at the very least! I always find them to be super comfortable and gives me time in the moment to appreciate having someone so loving and caring around! I wouldn't know if he is romantically interested in you but he certainly shows sign of comfort and trust that close friends usually do!

Usually yes. I mean there’s always the instances where he cares deeply about you but doesn’t want to pursue anything but usually a long hug is a pretty decent signal that he’s at minimum comfortable with you in his arms and would like more of that.

Depends on your relationship with that person, i knew guys that had a crush and would hug me for 5 seconds bc they didn't want me to know that they liked me. And I have a male friend that is like brother to me and will hug me for a long time. Just depends on how the person feels.

He is probably trying to rub off your cologne on himself because he forgot to shower that day

[Asker]

Makes sense. He doesn smell good

[Logorithim]

Is he a friend, acquaintance, someone you just met, or something else? I like to give my female friends hugs because I'm close to them and have strong feelings for them as a friend, but I'm not interested in them. It is not enough of an indication by itself.

A platonic hug is where the two people lean forward to each other to avoid their crotches getting too close. More than platonic they stand close with their whole body so don't care if that happens. But yeah a long hug is a good sign. It could also mean he just hasn't had a hug in ages cause he doesn't get close with girls much.

I hug my sister in law with big boobs. She always wants a hug when I visit and I do not disappoint. She seems to enjoy it and that’s as far as it’s going to go. What’s a good strong hug between family members? She was wild when she was younger so I suspect that the big hugs are the closest she gets to a thrill these days. She’s 12 years older than my wife.

Depends what kind of intrest you mean. He could be intrested in you romantically or just want sex.

[winterfox10]

Could be, or he might just like holding you close. It depends on what he's doing while hugging you. If he's pulling you in, pressing his hips against your's, running his hands through your hair, tracing your back/spine with his fingers; that's a very sensual hug, but if he's just holding you, that's friendship.

Could mean yes, could mean shot. My best friend is a woman. She's gorgeous, and by all accounts she's my type. We have long hugs whenever we see each other. I love her to death. But not interested in her.

[maihu]

Trust me, he's very interested. To me, hugs give the most relief in the least amount of time. Once I was angry at my Ex for a day, she suddenly came and hugged me for a minute and said sorry and everything was fine.

Who knows-I've gotten long wonderful hugs from guys and later found out they're gay. And I've gotten stiff hugs from guys who later jumped my bones and took me to heaven.
-it depends.

[looneymalooney]

Do you like it when he does it?

If yes, then stop asking questions as it seems the feelings are mutual

if no, then tell send the message you are not interested

[KuriousKat90]

I have often confused it for interest, but it's usually because they care about you a lot. The difference is that they'd be there for you etc. But no romantic interest.

[Dizzygirrrl]

Yup! There may be a chance his sniffing you lol. I love long hugs.. but I get embarrassed easily so I would call them idiot, blushing then walking away. Lmao.

[Massageman]

I would take that as a good thing. With so many people being superficial about things these days, the investment of a minute for a hug seems like it is looking to bring about some interest (pun intended).

[TrixiePooch]

Or he wants to feel your boobs on his. Like a hands free feel you up.

[niomi04]

I agree to this haha

[elite665]

Yes he does or he might be prob wants to be touching you as long as possible hence why he hugs you for a long time

[ErikaCostell]

It means he wants to hold onto you for as long as possible and doesn't want you to forget about him

[sidg87]

Yes because he is trying to feel you can connect with your soul

[Asker]

Looking at others' responses, I concluded it's my big chest. I'm sad that he doesn't like me but oh well

[sidg87]

Majority could be wrong too, when he hugs you, the vibes that you get is the ultimate deciding factor

[Pauliho]

I don't hug myself so I wouldn't know. Most guys like me don't hug much so it's hard to tell, most probably he;s touchy feely and does like you.

[thevampire_queen]

*hugs you*

[Deve77]

Most times yes, however sometimes a hug is just a hug. It all depends of what is your relationship with him. If you just met, he might like you. If your old friends, it might be a sign of a good friendship.

[Sevenpointfive]

could be! i don't know your situation, but there are hug levels.

[Asker]

He holds me really close to his body and hugs me longer than a minute whenever we leave. I've been friends with him for a few months

[Sevenpointfive]

if there's a back rub in there then you should make a move

[tøp1996]

The longest hug I’ve gotten from a guy was 30 minutes
But I was also crying so he just held onto me to comfort me
