The Pat On The Back Hugger
I love to hug, it’s probably my favorite thing to do in the world. I especially love hugging a guy I am currently dating. There’s nothing like feeling his arms wrap around me and squeezing me tight.
However, there are certain guys that will give you a friend hug. What is a friend hug, you ask? Well, it’s a hug where they end up giving you a pat on the back.
If you don’t know what I mean, try watching an episode of The Sopranos. Those mob guys are always giving each other the pat-on-the-back hugs. It’s like the guy thing to do.
So the next time you are hugging your guy, take notice as to whether he gives you the pat on the back. If it were me, I’d ask him what he was doing and explain to him that I’m not just one of the guys so I deserve a real hug. If, when after talking to him about it he still does it, then maybe you’re reading more into the relationship than he is.
Avoid the pat-on-the-back huggers as much as possible. They won’t ever be able to give you anything serious. There are way better guys out there that will knock your socks off giving you a real hug; the one you deserve.
I always hated the pat on the back. It made me feel like a child for some reason no matter what age I was.
