What is the meaning of when a guy pulls you closer to him and hugs you tighter in a hug?

[Anonymous]

I’ve actually had a few times guys do this to me (obviously in different time periods) but what is the meaning of when a guy lays his head on your shoulder and he pulls you closer to him and he squeezes you tighter

[muliebrity]

im sure you're confused
a) he wants sex but also be with you.
b) he just wants sex and get got game.
c) He wants to be closer to you because he likes you. has a crush on you.
d) all of the above

As you can see.. IT doesn't MATTER. What do you want? go get it.

[PrincessGrail]

He likes you

[PrincessGrail]

Thanks for MHO

[Thatsamazing]

... He likes you. Duh. Literally what else would it mean.

[DECENTSCOTTISHLAD999]

He likes you

[coachTanthony]

Don't be that girl who gets addicted to asking questions like this over and over again. You know what it means.. you don't need strangers to give you doubt of what you actually feel that it means.

[Logorithim]

He has feelings for you of some sort, as a friend at least

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

There is chances he could like you but than again
it could mean nothing at all. Really hard to say
It could be a form of flirtation really hard to say
you just can't think he likes you cause that might
not be the thing only you can by how he acts to
you. This could go on for a long time and mean
that he doesn't like you but just flirting with you.

He might be trying to feel your boobs against his chest. Unless it's your boyfriend. And he might be trying to do the same thing also but hopefully he loves you and it's more than just something physical.

[monkeynutts]

Yeah I do it if I really like the girl, but lately I have been trying to give the best hugs, they are warm and really friendly.

[Haffodulla]

Well for a start he has feelings for you obviously and also he cares for you and feels safe and happy around you

[Tyffen]

He likes to get closer to you. He feels comfortable with you

[SentientBrick]

It means he likes you a lot, also its a gesture of intimacy.

[Browneye57]

It's an expression of desire. Of closeness.

You're not big on hugs, huh?

[Asker]

nope!

[Browneye57]

Well, you're pretty young, and inexperienced. It may well be that one day you enjoy a man's company. Keep your options open. And don't try to read a lot of meaning into anything - just accept things at face value. What a guy does has no hidden meaning, that's just not how they operate.

[VIVANT]

You don’t really believe that do you?

I’ve experienced situations where a guy will lie
Or Pretend to be to be someone he’s not
Pretend he didn’t say things he says
Pretend he’s confused when he can’t defend something he knows was wrong
Cover up they’re own insecurity by lashing out and blaming me for stuff they did
Say something to get a reaction then take it back as soon as they say it..

guys do all kinds of things that humans do which absolutely includes bullshitting 🤷‍♀️

I don't know why people need to talk about guys as if they are all Spock from star trek..

[Browneye57]

@VIVANT - Sure. But you're trying to negate a basic difference between the genders and that's ignoring the obvious. There are exceptions to everything, but stick with the norms and let the exceptions be just that.

I will say though, a guy will say or do ANYTHING to get in your panties. Beware. ;)

[VIVANT]

That’s still a guy not saying what he means

Whatever the reason guys do not say what they mean all the time. Many lie most of the time. I am not saying this just to be contrary. And I’m not playing dumb, I don’t know why you think women are always saying something other than why they mean?

I have no reason to assume a guy is honest nor a woman is lying.

Maybe it is more about experiences with other gender

Maybe as a man, you may more often encounter women being straight up

I as a woman , I may more often than you encounter men not being straight up

Perhaps it is Less about gender behaviors more about behaviors between genders.

I honestly in no way have seen an abundance of women giving double talk.. a few times sure but not majority. I’ve def encountered that more with the men folk. Even so I don’t claim guys are more underhanded. I think it depends on the situation.

[VIVANT]

Also a hidden meaning does not need to be intentional

A guy can hug her bc he likes her or bc he thought she was sad or bc he wanted to feel her up and do on

Any reason needn’t be hidden in order to not be understood. She simply is not in his mind. And there are many reasons for a hug Lolol

Even people being honest can be unclear to others bc no one can know another’s motives.

[Browneye57]

@VIVANT - Changes nothing I said.

[VIVANT]

You implied Guys don’t have hidden motives- this is obviously not true if an human group..

You also suggested that if a motive is not hidden there is nothing to be understood. . Intentions honest or otherwise , don’t make things clear. Without clarity take things at face value has no inherent meaning.

I was discussing points you raised bc it interested me.. Are people only meant to discuss things they agree upon?

[Browneye57]

@VIVANT - You have a way of rambling on that makes my eyes glaze over, which is typical.

Reality:
women communicate covertly.
Men communicate overtly.

This means that women are masters at innuendo and nuance, it's their communication style. There is an agenda or hidden meaning in pretty much everything they say.
Men are much more direct. They don't pick up on all those queues like women do. And women will tend to think men are like them, so they look for hidden meaning in what they say - it's just not there.

If you want to learn more about the differences in communication styles between men and women, search in youtube for a fellow named Mark Gungor. He has some really great vids and goes into detail on these differences.

I'm not going to debate this with you because you don't know what you're talking about. You keep trying to apply whatever little anecdotal experience you have on the subject which is entirely irrelevant. In other words, it doesn't mean jackshit. If you want to learn something listen and comment. If you want to debate and argue then you can pound sand. This is settled science, not a 21yo's experiences with her guy friends.

[VIVANT]

You make assertions about entire groups of people than any experience contradicting that is relevant. You set it up that way if that upsets you that’s on you.

If you don’t want to discuss your views that’s ok but don’t use some guy as an excuse.

If you have not noticed people are here talking to each other sharing experiences. I have 1000s if books if I want to read I can do that without your suggestion.

Im not going to ignore empirical evidence bc you say it contradicts some guy you have a boy crush on.

You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blo s.

[Browneye57]

@VIVANT - It would appear you are virtually incoherent. Oh well. Illiterate too, so I dunno about a thousand books. None of what you say makes any sense at all - we're just getting your little feelings out there. So we're done... have fun on GAG. And good luck. You're gonna need it.
You pull this on your love interests you'll implode them every time. Absolutely clueless.

[Massageman]

It could mean several things, all fairly good in my mind.

[VIVANT]

Did you like it or no?

[Asker]

from one of the guys yes

[VIVANT]

That’s good. Maybe you liked it from the guy you like and not from another

I only like hugs from guys I like.. otherwise I find it very uncomfortable

[Asker]

oh god, yes! it’s the most uncomfortable feeling.

[VIVANT]

Absolutely !!! Lol

[Jerre]

I would say he likes you a lot

[Anonymous]

He's trying to show you that he cares about you

[PrettyRegular]

That he likes you and thinks you're cute.

[Anonymous]

It means he enjoys doing that...

[Pejtu]

He missed you
