Oh, admit it already: There is nothing quite as comforting as a warm hug on a blue day.
Even a gallon’s worth of chocolate ice cream faces stiff competition against this magical act of human connection – and trust me, coming from a girl whose faced her share of 4-pound-weight-gain-worthy breakups – that’s a testimony to be reckoned with, alright!
Whether it’s having your arms wrapped around your sweetheart or receiving a tender embrace from good ol’ mum or even when you’re greeting a friend – hugs just have a way of instantly making us feel all warm and fuzzy deep inside.
There’s no denying it – hugs are a classic way of expressing one’s affection. Nevertheless, not all hugs were created equal. And this isn’t exactly a revelation for anybody since we’re all quite aware that the way we’d politely hug an acquaintance is quite different from the passionate embrace we’d give a lover (and if the contrast isn’t immediately apparent to you, I do believe this article isn’t for you). But did you know that the kind of hugs exchanged between sweethearts can differ as well?
Yes! In fact, their style of hugging can actually be quite telling about the nature of their relationship. Feeling intrigued? Well, read on to get the lowdown on what your approach to hugging could reveal about your romance!
1. The ‘Buddy Hug’
This is also often referred to as a ‘partial hug.’ Now, the thing with buddy hugs is that they can be sort of tricky. It’s essentially a semi-hug, and if you and your partner inevitably find yourself in this position whenever you’re off for a walk together – great news! It signifies that apart from being lovers, you also share a great friendship between you. However, if this is you’re go-to hug, well, then that could mean a lack of intimacy.
2. The ‘Wrapped-Legs Hug’
Ooh la, la! Aren’t you a hot pair? This is one of the most iconic romantic hugs in the history of cinema – and considering the raw sensuality it packs, it’s no surprise! If you and your sweetheart often end up greeting each other this way, then it reflects on the intensity of your physical relationship. It also reveals how very passionate the two of you are, and the love and attraction you share for each other is truly commendable.
3. The ‘Backside Hug’
Aw, this is one of the sweetest hugs ever! If your sweetheart often embraces you in such a way, consider yourself tremendously lucky. It signifies that s/he truly cherishes you, to the point that they’re overprotective and somewhat insecure in their behavior when it comes to you.
4. The ‘Sudden Hug’
Frequently surprised by hugs from your other half? Well, it means you have a partner who’s head over heels in love with you and isn’t afraid to declare it to the world! In fact, so smitten is this sweetheart of yours, s/he can’t restrain themselves from displaying their affection when you’re close by.
5. The ‘Tight Hug’
This is a classic and signifies a very pure sort of love. Even if your lover isn’t the type to wear his or her heart on the sleeve, the intensity and depth of their emotions are revealed by the intensity of their hug. So, if you’re often the recipient of this hug, it means your sweetheart never wants to lose you.
6. The ‘Hug With Eye Contact’
This hug is pure perfection. If you and your lover often indulge in this manner of hugging, then know that it reveals a very strong bond between the two of you. Since eyes are the windows to one’s soul, it signifies a partnership full of trust and love.
