I don't know if it *means* anything but the only people who seem to give me those kinds of hugs are relatives - the ones you only see on holidays, not the ones you are genuinely close to.
Of those relatives, the ones I don't know very well give the barely-even-touching-you one-armed hug. The ones I've known forever at least put a little bit of effort into the half-hug. haha
I don't know if that helps at all. Sometimes hugs are just randomly awkward for no real reason.
I hug with one arm when I feel awkward, which is with most people because I'm not a hugger. I only really hug the guy I like with two arms. But some people's hugging style is just naturally with one arm. And if this only happened once and he's given you better hugs before, it could be that he wasn't in the mood to hug that day. If you guys are used to hugging each other, try hugging him with two arms and see how he reacts.
I usually only use one arm when I don't know the person that well, if I feel uncomfortable around them or if they smell. Haha. If it's a guy I like, I'll always hug with two arms when I can. If he's in the friendzone, it's the one arm and possibly followed by a pat on the back.
I have thought about this too, but I think it is the norm now. People do not embrace each other too much anymore or maybe they are not much of a hugger. I do not think they may even notice. It also shows more affection toward someone I think, so fear maybe too.
I do that a lot. If its someone I like I hug wholeheartly not holding anything back but I normally do the one arm thing if you are new to me and I dont trust you
His other arm hurts xD
No ehm. I think he's used to giving one arm hugs then. Like some people I give a hand, then we pull eachother close and hug with the other hand
i hug girls with one arm when they are friends. But i would worry much about it...

It's a way to hold I guess. Doesn't really mean anything. That's how men hug actually lol they use one arm usually
I do that kinda a lot. Just a lack of enthusiasm. Doesn't really mean anything.
I usually do that if I'm not close enough to that person, but really, don't overthink it.
oh, well I think it is more low key ( if that makes sense) than a normal hug, but his shoulder could of also been hurting or something
it means he's getting lazier day by day... 😂😂😂😂
That's a freakin' half-assed hug. Some people really don't like putting effort in hugs I guess >_>
I hug people like this all the time because I don't like hugs and i'm slightly claustrophobic
you either disgust him, he sees you as a sister, or he's just really bad at body language
I know for me I one hug if I am hugging my homeboy girl or hugging a girl I haven't seen in a while.
What's wrong with some people? Stop being such an insecure kid. Not everything has a meaning.
At least he hugged you? many people have styles when it comes to hugging-handshaking etc.
It means you're looking too much into this.
Depends on where the other hand goes.
maybe the other arm hurts to be lifted?
I don't care I still hug with both <3
i DUNNO! Its just a HUG!
Depends what they're doing with the other one.
Usually they feel awkward hugging and that's why
Other hands dirty
