Guys, what does it mean when a guy asks for a hug?

[Anonymous]

There is a guy that I barely know but have great conversations with him when I run into him. Last time I saw him we talked for a while. When I said I needed to go he said "can I have a hug?".

Whats that all about?

Alright women it is very hard these days for men you have to keep this very open and very honest men don't know how to get close to women without being a pervert or a freak or weird or to offend, we don't want to be some of the men in the news today, I've just given up I don't expect a girl to even like me so I won't even show it until they show it the roles are reversed you guys have your way now a guy has to ask for everything but women do not have to ask it's still a one-sided someday this will all pan out and we'll be living as one it won't be a male or a female we'll all be equal, for instance I was taught to open the door or pull a chair out or help some woman with their jacket but recently I've had women get all upset at me and state Blakely what don't you think I could do it myself, we don't know where the line is drawn in 2018 but hopefully in 2019 we as men will,

Well said I’ve had the same shit happen to me with my ex girlfriend my wife did the same thing to me.. I’m starting to be the same as you. I was brought up to help a woman to and open doors and that stuff but just don’t get nothing in return so if I don’t get anything in return I go cold on them simple as that and she gets the shits with it.. not my problem it’s there’s respect these days have gone and that’s because of the way girls used to get treated by bad guys who treat them badly and the nice guys gets walked all over because of the way they got treated.

He's beta as fuck. That's what it means. I used to be that shmuck who asked girls for hugs when I was in highschool. I'm cringing thinking about it. When someone asks for a hug they are too afraid of being wrong. If he didn't ask and just opened his arms with confidence to give you a hug, there is a chance you would be uncomfortable or push him away. Asking for hugs is playing it safe but if you are good at reading a person, you can get an idea of who is a hugger and who doesn't want to hug based off of their posture, body language, nuanes, and overall personality. It's always worth it to skip asking and just offer a hug. If you misread a person that's fine but more often than not it's obvious who would appreciate a hug. If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be hugging them. I still feel awkward thinking of myself in highschool asking girls for hugs.

Ehh there's some truth in this but without seeing the two of them interact, I don't think we can quite call it for that so easily.

[NoxWriter22]

We can call it whatever we want. Maybe I'm right. Maybe I'm wrong. She asked what it means when a guy asks for hug and I told her. I think maybe you're reluctant to agree with me because you are the type of guy to ask for a hug. 😏

[Anon-ymous1]

Haha yeah must be. You got me, mate.

Some people are very touchy-feely, they come from families where everybody fucking. . . snuggles all the time, and hugs all the time, and sit close all the time, it's creepy.

They come out into the world and kind of act like personal space is some rigid formal rule that everybody follows but wishes they could break. They don't realize that we don't want motherfuckers touching us, and all up in our face all the time, and standing right fucking beside us. And if you tell them, they get all butthurt like, "Oh, I see. You hate my guts is that it? You just don't like me, I see." And it's like, "No, I just don't want your big fucking floppy arms all around me all the time and I don't want your big flappy face right in my face! Fuck!"

Dear it's not always mean love, sometimes it's a way to express respect against a girl and it's also depends how old is your relationship with that guys and honestly dear a girl heart ♥ much understand why a guy hug her i mean with love feelings or lust feelings or just as a good friend

[Calebng123]

He either A) was having a bad day, B) I have multiple female friends I hug without having any feelings but asked permission the first time because some people are more sensitive to what's too much physical contact, so it could just be like that or C) he likes you, but I wouldn't read too much into a hug just get to know him more and see if he starts showing more signs of attraction

[Purpleronnie]

I can only think that it’s about affection. I dread to think it’s more perverse than that. Generally though it’s not something I’d ask. in my opinion it’s just not how manly men behave lol 😂

[scotty01]

He wants your affection. And to see if you actually love him. If you don’t show any affection to him then what you will do is you will loose him. As my ex girlfriend did the same thing to me never hugged me..

[Nik1hil]

We men aren't emotionless creature..
We like intimacy..
Makes us human..
Without it we become savage and ruthless.

[Rambler221]

It could be a friend thing, especially if he is a homosexual, but it could also be a relatively easy and safe way of seeing whether he can break the touch barrier - something we might do with a person we are interested in.

[ForteExe]

If a guy randomly gropes a woman he goes to jail, but if he asks a random woman permission first then it's fine.

[dbizzy]

If he asks for a hug he wants to see ur reaction sorta feeling out tje situation literally

[slurreyboy]

He wanted your tits pressed against him. That's fact.

[IntuitiveMuffin]

I actually prefer hugging girls. You ever try to shake a girls hand its awkward.😂

[Naim1234]

He thinks that you are a good person and he is having a good time with you as a friend.

[valualty]

It means arms around the back. Head rested in shoulders. Hearts beating close. Genitals touching. Toes curling 😂

[Northern_star]

hm. it means he wanted a hug (?). thats my best bet 😎😁

[imortalshadow]

I think he likes you but maybe he just missed it depends on how well you new each other and how long ago

[Sabretooth]

maybe he likes you and is trying to be more confident

[Anonymous]

It means he wanted a hug. Why do women need to complicate things. lol

[carsonbrant]

Its just a hug maybe friendly maybe loving who knows

[afterlonglonglong]

that you are overthinking...

[HaveNoName]

That's creepy. Not an appropriate behaviour.

[HaveNoName]

If he is not a friend or a relative, and if you are not giving any indication that you want a hug, it is creepy for a guy to ask for a hug. Let the downvoters believe what they want to believe.

[NoxWriter22]

100% Agree.

[Anon-ymous1]

Likes you. What's hard to figure out?

[19irish76]
