What is a flirty hug?

Flirty Hug If you are at the onset of a relationship, this is the perfect way to express yourself without being bold.

Have you ever craved a hug from that particular person? It is not just the movies, novels or soap operas that have filled our heads with things about hugging. A single touch from someone you love or have strong feelings for can make your day. On the other hand, the absence of a hug can also make your day dull. With Valentine’s Hug Day celebration arriving on 12th February, it is time for you to find out what type of hug has what meaning in your relationship. Whether you are a hugger or not, different types of hugs & their meanings will help you decode the status of your relationship.

Flirty Hug

You can not give Hug Day wishes without a flirty hug. If you are at the onset of a relationship, this is the perfect way to express yourself without being bold. However, in an existing relationship, a flirty hug (which involves a little delicate touching) is a great way to keep the romance alive. If you do this often, you two are on the right track.

Hugs around the Waist

Now, this is an intimate one that is ideal for Hug Day wishes (wink). Both the parties face each other with their hands around the other one’s waist. Hugging around the waist is one of the romantic hugs as it brings you awfully close to your beau. Not to forget your first time when your heart beats only faster and louder.

Friendly Hug

Amongst the different types of hugs, the friend hug is not ideal for relationships. While the upper body is close to each other, the pelvises are away. This type of hug happens in a relationship when you are in a hurry or don’t wish to seem intimate to the public eye.

Heart to Heart Hug

As the name says it, this hug touches the heart. Both the parties move to the left while hugging because of which their hearts meet first. It is a very sweet and romantic type of hug that takes intimacy to a different level. The heart to heart hug is also ideal for those who don’t like hugging much but wish to appease their partner.

Side Hug

A less enthusiastic and intimate way of showing your support or love is by a side hug. It is common against friends and acquaintances, but in a romantic relationship, it means you are either shy to show your emotions or are being formal. In both cases, this hug will usually be given to or by your partner when you are in public.

The bear hug is like a tight hug but warmer and longer in duration. It can be done while standing or lying down as one fully wraps his arms around the lover. The bear hug is exchanged during the cuddling sessions as it makes both of them feel safe and secure.

Back Hugs

The best way to give Hug Day wishes is with a back hug. No matter how many movie scenes get shot on this type of hug; it will always be the favourite for couples. For partners, the back hug is meaningful and romantic because of the spooning effect which can also be considered as cuddling. Also, who doesn’t like to cuddle?

Eye to Eye Hug

Like the heart to heart hug, this one is self-explanatory too. Whether you are new in a relationship or not, this type of hug shows the bond between the couple. It shows the great chemistry you two have and how you are maintaining it.

Straddle Hug

There are a few hugs that can lead to a somewhat intimate time. The straddle hug is one of those hugs wherein one keeps his head on the partner’s chest. While this does have a sexual overtone, it can also be a great way to soothe things for your beloved, especially when they are crying. It shows the level of understanding you two have with each other.

Long Hug

There are times when you hug a person and do not want to let go. The long hug is just that! It is one of the best hugs to give when your significant other is having a bad day or needs emotional support. You can crumble into the other person’s arms and feel safe as well as be calm.

One-Sided Hug

The one-sided hug sounds sad but in reality, it is a lot different. In this, one person gives the hug while the other receives it. In romantic relationships, it usually is a sign for one to crumble into their loved one’s arms for emotional support. It is one of the sweetest hugs you can give to your beloved.
