Girls, what makes you want to hug a guy?

Anonymous
as friends.

I noticed I usually have to hug the girl first for them to initiate a hug the next time I see her but it's not always the case. Also I'm 17 and almost done high school.

Today I was on the bus with two of my female friends (chatting them the entire way about 45 mins) when we got off and was time for us to go our separate ways home and they started talking about doing their girl stuff and made plans then they both hugged and I thought "I'm close friends with them now, I've known them for months (almost a year), how is it that we never hugged?" and I just went for it and said jokingly "Oh I see how it is" and made a mimicking arms out hug gesture and put my arms down. Then one of them went "awwwe sorry" and hugged me then I looked at the other (who I actually think I like-like) and she was looking at me and I said "Sorry I don't hug ugly chicks" (I was teasing her about how she looked earlier) she made a squinty I'm gonna get you type look so I stepped up to her and held my arms out with a big grin until she smiled and held out her arms I hugged her and while doing that I said "you know I'm joking, you look fine" (I said it like "fine" not like "fiiiine" as in not in a flirty way) anyways we all said bye and went our ways. Wonder how Mondays gonna be when I see them.

I know I'm going into lots of detail here lol but just giving you an example

Girls, how do YOU go about the hugs?

how do you feel it should be?

what kind of hugs do you prefer (what kinda setup as in his hands on your back and yours around his neck and touching chests, side hugs, one arm over shoulder, cheek to cheek etc.)
