Why do guys like hugging girls from behind?

why do guys like coming up to girls from behind? why not the front? (im not talking about sex by the way.)

I have a coworker who i kind of have this flirting thing going on with at work. one night we got drunk and he kept hugging me. he ended up hugging me from behind at the end of the night and he kind of just held me for a bit. He was about to kiss me on the cheek but he said he couldnt do that to me.

so from then on, at work, he comes from behind a lot, not to hug me that way, since it would be weird at work. it seems like he wants one of those hugs again but again, it would be inappropriate. He will hug me most days when we are alone though and its either a side hug or where i will wrap my arms around his waist and he will put his face near my neck. but if not, if im doing something, he tends to come from behind and look over my shoulder.

if he shows me something on his phone, he will stand behind me and put his arm around me to show me his phone while he looks over my shoulder. he often comes and puts his hands on my shoulders, sometimes he rubs them. when he tells me something, he will also come from behind and tell me right in my ear, usually that is also accompanied by his hands grabbing my shoulders again or something. not always but he does say things in my ear quite often, even if its just work stuff. Sometimes he will reach around me and if i turn around, our faces are very close to eachother. he has touched my thighs by accident before. or so called accident. who knows

I don't know why he gets so close from behind. well, we stand close when we talk face to face too. if im leaning on something, or just standing somewhere, he will stand very close to me where our arms are touching and he'll also lean on whatever im leaning on if im leaning on something. he will just smile and look down like trying to come up with something to say. I don't know. he's not shy.

what is this? i know he won't do it with anyone else. I've seen him interact with other people.
