Guy hugging girl: at waist or over the shoulders?

[Anonymous]

Which do you prefer? Is one considered more traditional? is it based off of level of relationship/intimacy?

Waist

Over the shoulders

Doesn't matter

it really does depend on our relationship.

like if he was a friend then it wouldn't matter if he hugged me over the shoulders or somewhere [ above ] the waist.

however I'm not gonna bite his head off if he did hug me around the waist.

but, in my opinion, it feels right when / if the guy is my boyfriend hugs me around my actually waist but he's not limited to just that.

If it's a professional relationship, I'd keep it to over the shoulders. If a guy hugs a girl around the waist it makes the hug very intimate and makes the girl feel safe.
