Sometimes a guy will hug you as a way of flirting with you or showing that he’s interested in you. So it really depends on the situation and the type of hug that a guy gives you as to what it might mean.

The truth is that long hugs from guys can mean different things depending on how they are done. We have to look for clues in order to understand what a long hug could mean and the way we do this is by the context that surrounds the hug.

What is Context And How Can We Use It?

Context is everything that is going on around us at any given time–where we are, who we are with, and the conversations we are having. A really simple example of a long hug in the correct context is at a funeral. A guy may give you a long hug because he feels sorry for you and wants to let you know he cares.

Did you ever miss someone so much that you wanted to hug them for hours on end? You might also really want to hug them because you missed them, too. It’s important to realize if there was a long time in between when the two of you last saw each other this could be the reason for the long hug.

2. They’re attracted to you.

A long hug can be a sign a guy is interested in you. You need to think about the context to get a good understanding if this is the case. Does he give everyone a long hug or just you that should tell you if he is attracted to you.

5. They’re trying to dominate you.

Sometimes a guy will try to dominate you with a long hug. This will depend on your relationship and the context around the hug and how it makes you feel. If you think this is the case, avoid this person or say you don’t like it.
