      • The first step of giving a good hug is knowing when to hug. Hugs are not always appropriate – but when someone really needs a hug, you can make their day by stepping in to embrace them. To give a good hug, you will need to create a warm and welcoming space for your hugging partner. Make them feel comfortable, loved, and supported. Method 1 Starting the Hug 1 Know when to hug. There are times for hugging, and times for keeping your hands to yourself. First, understand why you are hugging this person: perhaps you are greeting a dear friend; perhaps you are comforting someone who's crying; perhaps you are trying to share your feelings for a crush or a partner. No matter the context, a good hug should feel natural. Wait for a break in the conversation, or a transition, or a poignant moment. Consider these scenarios: A break in the conversation could be any moment when time seems to pause. You can take advantage of these moments, if you've been meaning to hug someone. You don't need a reason to hug someone, but your hug should be in context. It should feel natural to initiate a hug at this time. A transition could be anything that begins or ends an interaction. You might hug your friend when you meet her, or hug her when she leaves. Hug to mark that something is beginning or ending. A poignant moment could be any experience in which you and another person (or people) have shared powerful emotions. Hug a friend after he shares a deep and emotional story; hug your sister when her boyfriend or girlfriend breaks up with her. Use hugs to acknowledge that a moment was significant and bring it to a beautiful end. 2 Be welcoming. Create a safe and gentle space. Open your arms wide, and try to keep a warm smile on your face. Use your body language, your facial expression, and your general demeanor to invite the person into your arms. Make this person feel like he or she is the only person who matters right now.[1] 3 Open your arms to signal that you want to hug. Your body language should funnel the person into your embrace. Step toward him or her to make the invitation more clear. Look your hugging partner in the eyes, and watch her face to make sure that she is open to being hugged. If the person steps forward to meet your embrace, then he or she has accepted the hug. It's time to enter hug mode.[2] Wait for a cue. If you aren't sure, wait until the person you want to hug extends his or her arms. This is a safe strategy – but you may also consider how much you can brighten someone's day by initiating the hug yourself. If the person doesn't step into your hug, then don't force it. Lower your arms and try to back off gracefully. Let it go. 4 Consider announcing your hug. Say, "Can I hug you?" or "I want to hug you right now." This can be a great segue if you are uncomfortable initiating a hug, or if you think that the other person might be uncomfortable with a sudden hug. By making your intentions clear, you may be able to clear the air and create a mutually comfortable space. Know when you don't need to ask. In most cases, you don't need to announce your hug – especially if you know someone well, or if you have hugged before. Bear in mind that the hug will likely feel more natural if you just do it. 5 Be genuine. Don't expect anything from the hug other than warmth and a shared moment.[3] A hug can mean much more than just a hug – but until stated otherwise, a hug is just a hug. If you are hugging with a warm heart and a genuine desire to make someone feel better, you will likely come across as friendly and welcoming. If you are trying to use the hug to get something from someone, then they probably won't feel as comfortable. 6 Determine your hugging style. This will depend on your personality and who you happen to be hugging. Some people are able to fearlessly rock the bear hug: they spread their arms wide and tightly hug everyone that they meet – and they might even pick people up! Others are subtler and less committal in their approach: they've perfected the side-hug the bro-hug. Watch various people hug each other, and decide which hug is best for a given situation. The bear hug: Throw all of yourself into each hug. Hold tight and be loving. Rest your head on your hugging partner's chest or shoulder. Unabashedly show your love. The side-hug: This approach is subtle and low-commitment. Sidle up next to someone and reach out with one arm. Slide your arm around their shoulder (if you're taller) or around their back, below their arm (if you're shorter). Face the same direction as your hugging partner, squeeze their shoulder gently, and let go when it feels appropriate. The bro-hug: This is a casual hug between friends, characterized by a quick and low-contact embrace. Keep your butt out, lean in, and pat your friend on the back 1-3 times. Try leaning forward from a handshake into a quick, one-armed back-pat. Method 2 Hugging Friends and Family 1 Hug warmly. If you are hugging someone in a platonic way, you don't need to worry about being "too forward" or holding back. The goal here is to show someone how much you appreciate them – so make it a good hug. Wait for the right moment, then wrap your arms around the person and hold them close. Most people appreciate a good hug. If you are genuine and comforting in your hugs, people will notice. Don't be afraid to share your love! This is especially important if you're hugging to comfort someone. The warmer you come across, the more loved your hugging partner will feel. 2 Try not to make people uncomfortable. This means that you shouldn't take a platonic hug too far. Don't squeeze so tight that the person is in pain or can't breathe. Don't touch any private parts or sensitive areas unless your hugging partner has given you permission. Don't put your face too close to theirs, or breathe heavily in their ear, or step on their toes. Use your best judgment, and lighten up your approach if the person seems uncomfortable with the situation. 3 Embrace a family member. You don't need to think too much about it – the purpose of hugging family is to show a simple, platonic love, even if you don't terribly like the person. You don't need to hug them tightly, although solid hugs (both in firmness and duration) tend to show more affection. Stroke your hands quickly across the top of the other person's back, and smile when you let go. Hugging female relatives should be mostly the same. Hug your mom like you'd hug your grandmother like you'd hug your sister. Hugging male relatives can depend on the context and the relative; some men may prefer a handshake, if you're a male. Understand how people hug in your family. Some families are big on hugging, while others tend to keep physical contact at a minimum. Watch how your other family members act with one another, then play to this hugging pattern to make sure that your relatives feel comfortable. 4 Don't be afraid to keep it going. If you're just giving a quick, playful hug, you can let go after a few seconds. If the moment calls for a long hug, however, you don't need to feel self-conscious. Much like staring into someone's eyes, a long hug can be a powerful and intimate experience – and it can be a great way to connect with someone. You may find that past a certain threshold, you can let yourself slip into the hug and simply enjoy the sensation of being held.[4] 5 Hug a friend. The depth and duration of the hug depend on the context: how close you are with this person, why you are hugging them, and how comfortable everyone is at the moment. You may also find that there are different expectations from a hug depending on whether your hugging partner identifies as male or female. The important thing is that you are warm and genuine; your hug should show your friend how much you appreciate him or her. Girls: Close your eyes and think about how much you appreciate your friend. Hold as tight as you like, but be careful not to squish your friend. Avoid patting your hugging partner on the shoulders: some girls may think that you don't like them if you pat them on the back without getting deep into a hug. Guys: Embrace each other firmly, and slap each other on the upper back or shoulders. If you're having an emotional moment, hold the hug for a brief moment and do not clap each others backs. Be careful who you hug: some guys are very uncomfortable with male-on-male hugs, but others have no such qualms. Method 3 Hugging Crushes and Partners 1 Keep it natural and consensual. Before you try to give a more-than-platonic hug, make sure that this person is comfortable with your touch. Your partner should be willing and ready to be handled in a romantic or sexual way. If you aren't sure, don't hesitate to ask for consent. The more comfortable you become with a partner, the better you'll be able to read their comfort level. 2 Get the timing right. You can hug a crush or a partner for many of the same reasons that you'd hug anyone else – but there may be deeper emotions behind the embrace, and there's likely at least a bit of sexual tension. Hug your partner when you feel a rush of affection, or just to say hello, or when you want to ignite a spark of passion. A hug can be a great way to acknowledge that the two of you have just shared a moment. Maybe you've just confessed your love; maybe you caught each other staring; maybe you just feel particularly loving today. 3 Make it intimate. If your hugging partner is into it, you can take the hug a bit deeper. Hold her a little tighter, and gently caress her back with your hands. Kiss her neck or the top of her head, and consider going for a playful butt squeeze. Play with the hair at the nape of his neck, and nuzzle your head into his chest. The more comfortable you are with someone, the easier it will be to show your affection – and the better your hugs will become.

        • It depends on what hug you're hoping to achieve. The side hug, normal. You can never go wrong with a side hug, as it is a friendly gesture, where you establish dominance over your prey. In fear, they must hug you back. To do a side hug, you must throw either your right, or left arm over their shoulder, and if your close, around their neck. It is discouraged to squeeze them. The side hug, awkward. Repeat the steps to "side hug, normal", But do so slowly and awkwardly, as if you don't have control over your hands. Front facing hug. The front facing hug can be a sign of many things, comfort, friendliness, greeting, or confidence. How to perform, First, you must be within targeting range of them, if you are not within their reach, walk over to them. Then, depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you begin to envelop them with your dominant arm (the arm with your dominant hand for you thick headed beans). Then, quickly, but safely, bring your other arm around them and give them a little squeeze. Finally, the "I have a crush on you, and I'd like to hug you, but don't want to do it directly". To do this correctly, you must be a coward at heart. To perform this hug correctly, you need to be close to them, and have good acting skills. Walk along side them, and pretend to trip, catching them as your support. In doing so, you "accidentally" envelop them in an embrace. This has been my guide on most hugs, if you'd like more, too bad.

                          No matter the height, always get in either a good butt rub or a nice massaging squeeze. That lets them know they are attractive and you are going to make them a film star!

                              • Now, there are several different [i]Business Hugs™[/i] that may prove useful in a variety of situations... [spoiler][u][b]Hug 32: "The Sensitive Cyclone"[/b][/u] Here's an example of a really useful hug. This hug requires that you lean in, find the power center on the small of the back, give three tender circles with the palm of your hand, and then finish with a friendly slap on the cheek. This hug is valuable for such occasions as consoling a co-worker who has just informed you of terrible news. For example, their wife's third miscarriage.[/spoiler] [spoiler][u][b]Hug 34: Power Embrace™ "The Respectacle"[/b][/u] Now, showing respect by bowing is a great way to start a hug. However, tip-toeing back from each other is where things can go wrong. Instead, what we would like to create is a Power Embrace™. Place your palm on the recipient's face, then go in for the hug. As a sign of respect, the recipient should move your small finger out of their eye-line. This hug is useful when receiving pleasant news, such as the first holy communion of your co-worker's son. Great Hug.[/spoiler] [spoiler][u][b]"The Give and Take"[/b][/u] Ahhh, now here's a complicated hug that I don't advise beginners to attempt. This hug requires the participants to put their hands on each other's hips, and create a "sea-saw" motion. Then, rest your ear next to the recipient's heart, correctly waiting five (5) beats. This lets you know your recipient is emotionally connected to the hug—and it's also a great ice-breaker.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Now, this last hug is only recommended when the co-worker is comfortable with this approach. I'm going to provide my personal cell-phone number if you need me to talk you through it. Grill Vogel: 555-*◊*△[/spoiler]

                                  Hugging a girl: Wrap both your arms all the way around her, palms flat against her waist, fingers kinda stretched out. Squeeze snugly and slightly rock back and forth, twisting left to right at your hips, kind of cradling her. Dont be leaning over, hug with your whole body. Stomachs and hips touching. If you're trying to be flirty with her, or trying to date her, wrap your arms around her right around the waist, hold her close, and spin her around. If a girl gives you a hug and it's kinda awkward or a side hug, jokingly tell her she is a bad or awkward hugger, and tell her that you are going to teach her how to properly hug. Then do the first hug above. After that, tell her you expect good hugs from now on, and after some practice, you may give her a spin around hug if she gets good enough.

                                    As a tall person, hugging is difficult. I hate hugging, but I've had to accept it as all my friends greet me with one. If the hugger is taller than you[spoiler]1) Arms around the waist. 2) Arms over the shoulder and stand on your tippy toes to fit your head over their shoulder. 3) Arms around the back and stand on your tippy toes to fit your head above their shoulder[/spoiler] If the hugger is shorter than you[spoiler]1) Slightly bend down so you're above them but still allowing them to fit their head over your shoulder. 2) If they go around the waist, go around the back and either rest your head on theirs or do nothing[/spoiler] If you're the same size[spoiler]1) go for one arm under and one arm over. 2) The dominant mammal will go for over arm and the weaker will be forced to take under arm[/spoiler]

                                      • Well, I’ve got this down to a [i]science[/i]. Your dominant hand goes over their corresponding shoulder, while your non-dominant hand goes under their corresponding arm. For instance, if you’re right-handed, your right hand will go over their left shoulder and your left hand will go under their right arm. Fair warning: this tip only works when both people are of the same dominant hand. For cases where both persons have opposite dominant hands, agreeing on a method of hugging before attempting the hug is recommended so as to avoid that awkward moment when you’re not sure how to hug this person. However, if this is unavailable, then the next best option is for each person to start the hug with only one arm at first, so as to figure out who reaches over versus under, then once that dilemma is solved, continue the hug with both arms.
