Hugs don’t seem to be an important part of a relationship. We live in a time where you basically hug everyone you know. Which means that hugs lost that special meaning and you need something more intimate to express your love.
But that doesn’t mean that hugs can’t say a lot about your relationship. They’re still an important form of expressing emotions with each other. Especially when it comes to strong emotions, positive or negative.
Things in the bedroom could be perfect, but if you’re in a public place and you get that chill hug from your partner, there might be something wrong.
It’s important to know the meanings of hugs you share with your partner. The list you’re about to see will help you to understand the meaning of different hugs and how to deal with them.
This is the ultimate hug. If this is how your partners hugs you, you know you’re in a serious relationship. It usually happens when you haven’t seen your partner in a while. But it’s also a sign of stable and serious relationship.

This is how we usually hug with friends, and not even best friends. There’s has to be a contact between you and your partner. It’s not like we always have to demand “the end of the world” type of a hug, but loosing contact is a bad sign.

It’s not really a hug when only one person is doing all the hugging. Technically, it is a hug but without any emotion. There’s a problem if you’re the one doing all the hugging and your partner is just standing still.

Isn’t this the cutest thing ever? These type of hugs make you feel young again. They often happen at the beginning of a love story, and it’s all about connection.

There’s no real romantic meaning connected to the pampered hug. Tapping someone’s back is a typical sign of respect. It means that you care for someone, but probably not in a romantic way. Guys (and girls) stuck in the friend-zone are more familiar with the pampered hug.

Guys can go wild sometimes, and that’s ok as long as it’s not in a public place. Well, it’s not against the law to grab your girlfriend’s ass in the public, but it makes you look like a pervert in a way. And of course we all know the meaning of the “pervert” hug.

Careless doesn’t mean you don’t care about the hug or the person you’re hugging. It means that you don’t care about what the people around you think. It’s not like the pervert hug, because in this case, love makes you oblivious to the world around you…and that’s as good as it gets.

This is not a whole hug. It’s more like half a hug, but it still means something. It’s a walking hug, when the arm goes around the neck. Like we mentioned above, this is the ultimate friendship hug. It’s not attention-grabbing but it still means that you care for someone.

The robot hug is often seen when a sports event is finished and the players are paying respect to each other. The loser of the event is probably not in the mood for hugs, but that’s sort of the rule. But sports events aside, the robot hug could work if you see your ex at a party while you’re with your new partner.

If you had a tough day or something went wrong, you probably will perform the suffocating hug on your partner. Because you know that he/she is there for you, just like you’re there for them.
