What are hugs?

[SuperTim]

Hi guys and gals and people who have been stalking me
I'm in a little moral quandary at the moment.
You see I met a very nice girl last night, and had the same sence of humour as me crazy though it is.
at the end of the day she gave me a hug and left. (i got her number btw)
so this is my dilemma.
What does "the hug" actually mean?
does it mean we are friends and thats it full stop?
or would i have the option to get into a relationship?

Hugs are subjective to both the hugger and the hugged. I hug people all the time, doesn't mean I want to be in relationships with them.

Now if she'd kissed you, maybe then.

A hug is just a general expression of affection, and it doesn't have any sexual implications at all. Ever seen the free hugs guy?

 

[Julianking93]

It means she likes you.

Could either be friends or more, but she likes you.

 

[zombiejoe]

...She may see you as a close friend. No no no, not like a "just friends" sort of thing, but as s really close person, no romance involved. So I guess try a little more to get the message to her.

Considering you just met the girl, I wouldn't read too much into it. It's a good sign at least.

With the introduction of cell phones, getting someone number doesn't mean what it used to. Now it just means I want to contact you at some point in the future for any number of reasons.

 

[Eerors]

I mean you hug your mum (Well you should on monters day!)

lol! I wouldn't go around calling it monters day. That'll get you a slap

On the topic of hugs, it depends how long the hug was held for, the strength of it and what she did with her arms. There's alot of compounding factors to consider.....

Don't let the hug become a habit. Next time you see her kiss her. In my experience one more hug and you're in the friends zone.

Actually in my experience, you are already in it, but good luck regardless.

Don't let the hug become a habit. Next time you see her kiss her.

I wouldn't recommend that. If it's an unwanted gesture, the OP could get in trouble for that. My advice to the OP is to see what happens next time; if she hugs you again, maybe ask her what it means. It really depends on the person; you could be someone she'd like to go out with, or you could be in "the friend zone."

 

[Bat Vader]

A hug really doesn't express anything other than you are close to a person. Close in friendship, family, or relationship.

That is just what my opinion though and I am most likely wrong about it.

I am pry the last person that should be consulted on anything having to do with social meaning or physical meaning as I am mostly a loner who hates physical contact.

 

[Funkysandwich]

If she hugs you, she probably hates you.

Sorry dude.

I'm not suggesting he assault her, I'm just suggesting instead of ending the evening with a hug, next time go for a kiss. Really in my experience girls tend to take it as a sign you are not interested if you take forever with these kinds of things. You have to show her you are interested right away.

For me, hugs imply a level of comfort. The hugs then vary accordingly--length, how hard the squeeze, etc--with different levels of feelings and whatnot. It shouldn't be as messy as it is, but I don't like things that aren't at least a little complicated.

 

[BlackndEclipse]

hit that NOW

 

[LeonLethality]

Hugs are a method through which human beings exchange nutrients and viral matter.

Or so my research has indicated.

While clothed it is highly ineffective.

OT: It could just be a friendly hug, spend more time with her to know for sure.

Relationships still an option, who knows what it meant though... Well you might, you were there. =]

She likes you, at the very least at the level of enjoying you company, or could mean more. Basically its a good starting point, either way you need to hang out with her more to both move the relationship along and to give both of you a chance to get to know eachother. Just remember take it slow, time is a very good ally for such things, theres no rush and in the end you still get to enjoy her company, even if just as friends.

Thats true, its not just getting a hug, its what the hug was like.

 

[TheSquirrelisKing]

That wasn't a hug dude, she was pick pocketing you. But you still have your wallet you say? Are you sure? Have you in fact checked that it wasn't a decoy wallet?
Either that or it really was a hug, which either means she wants to be your friend or she wants to "pick your pockets" if you know what I mean.

 

[blarghblarghhhhh]

could go either way man. you got her number so she obviously wants to hang out with you, if implications havnt been set by the end of the third time you hang out then just straight up ask her what shes thinking.
