Guy I've been with hugging me after not doing so for nearly a year?

[Anonymous]

He used to hugged me every time we met but suddenly stopped last winter. No, he hasn't been in a relationship, we've been roomies for nearly a year until I moved out one month ago. He asked me to massage his back a few times. Since I moved away, he's been over several times and has been hugging me every time. Last weekend, he was already talking about the next time he'll be coming over. What's going on?

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the age-old hugging mystery! With a sprinkle of flirtation and communication, it seems like this guy might be feeling a bit more open or possibly interested in reigniting a closer connection now that you're no longer sharing the same space. Distance can sometimes make the heart grow fonder, or at least more hug-friendly. If his hugs come with warm vibes and he's talking about future visits, he might be testing the waters or feeling a shift in his feelings. Keep an eye out for other signals and trust your gut feeling—it rarely lies! 🥰

I do that with my female friends but maybe not for the same reason. Most of them I'll hug, but once I start thinking they're too attractive, I try to avoid it. I'm not gonna be caught getting bricked over a hug.

So you think he may have been catching feelings and once I moved out, he felt it was emotionally risk free because I'm no longer under the same roof?

[ClassicDropout]

Possibly, but it may not even be a feelings thing. It could be a purely physical thing

Some sort of attraction none the less?

[ClassicDropout]

Yes at least some attraction
