Can you tell a guy likes you by the way he hugs you?

[Anonymous]

My friend told me that there are three main types of hugs. The "Friendly Hug", the "I Like You Hug" and The Flirtacious Hug.
The Friendly Hug is apparently just a quick hug around the back. The "I Like You Hug" is apparently when a guy hugs you around the waist or for a tad longer than neccessary. And with the "Flirtacious Hug" guys can mix it up by like hugging around the shoulder in a possesive way, holding the girl for a long time, pulling the girl in REALLY close so that you're pressing together, etc. But the "Flirtacious Hug" doesn't necessarily mean the guy likes you he is just most likely a flirt in general. This all came from my guy friend and I just want to clarify is this true? Because I have recieved so many "I Like You Hugs" and never knew. Lol

Some people hug differently and show affection differently. I don't hug people unless they initiate in which case I just sit there and let them hug me.

You can get some indication from a hug, but that's not enough to say a guy likes you.

I can never tell if a guy likes me by the way he hugs me. Whenever I get a hug from guys I just dimiss it as a simple hug and nothing more.
