Hugging is a physical expression of intimacy between two people; it can be a simple formality of social life or have a deeper meaning, such as comforting, or be an expression of sincere love. The romantic hug is perhaps the most enjoyable type of hug. Here are some tips to hug better!
Steps
Method 1 of 2: The Frontal Hug
Step 1. Adjust your arms to be able to hold the other person's torso
In a romantic embrace, the entire upper part of the torso comes into contact, in a position that expresses all the warmth and intimacy of closeness that comes from the embrace.

Usually the taller person puts their arms around the lower person's pelvis, while the taller person puts their arms around the neck of the taller person, although the opposite is possible, especially if there is a noticeable difference in height: in in this case the taller person puts his arms around the shoulders of the shorter one, who wraps his arms around the pelvis.
Step 2. Let your heads touch
Leaning your head on someone is a sign of intimacy. Move your head to the side as you approach her for a romantic hug, without going too far to the side, so as to brush the cheek of the other with yours. To add more romance, rub your face on the other person's neck or cheek.
Step 3. Squeeze and hold the hug
A romantic hug lasts longer than a platonic hug. Squeeze for a moment or two with more intensity, breathe deeply and relax, enjoying the moment. Be careful to squeeze so that your strength is felt, but don't overdo it or take the other person's breath away. Fainting someone over a hug isn't typically considered romantic.
Step 4. Use your hands
Caress the back of the person you are hugging, or run your hand through their hair or neck. A slow caress is very romantic. A quick caress, on the other hand, is comical, unless you're warming up from the cold.
Step 5. Let go slowly
As you walk away, maintain hand contact, and seek eye contact, this is a good time to express how much you love each other.
Method 2 of 2: The Hug from Behind
Step 1. Approach from behind
Surprising your partner with a hug from behind increases the spontaneity of the couple. Except in cases where he is doing something delicate, hug him on the hips and rest your head on his, surprise him with a very sweet gesture.
Step 2. Stand behind the person you want to hug
Then press your torso against his back, and put your arms around him. It makes no difference whether you are taller or shorter, except where you can shake hands.

In general, the taller person relaxes their arms, and squeezes the other with the forearms, while the shorter person can keep their arms straight, without bending the elbows.
Step 3. Bring your arms forward
You can put your arms in front of each other, or on top of each other, or even stretch them across the torso and squeeze the shoulders of the other, all this depends only on the length of the arms and the size of who you want to hug.
Step 4. Rest your head on his
As with the front hug, resting your head on someone is a sign of intimacy. If you are as tall as the other or even taller, you can rest your head on his or his neck, while if your height is lower you can rest a cheek on his back.
Step 5. Squeeze and hold the hug
A romantic hug lasts longer than a platonic hug. Squeeze for a moment or two with more intensity, breathe deeply and relax, enjoying the moment.
Step 6. Use your hands
For those who are embraced, stroking the hands of those who embrace comes naturally, it is a sign of love. You can also pat the face or head of the person hugging you. For those who are embracing you, making even intimate caresses is easy, and is a good starting point to make things continue at a greater level of intimacy, as long as the relationship between you is already at this point. If not, proceed with caution, as you could break the ice or get your nose broken. A slow caress expresses romance.

Enjoy a hug like when you are intimate. If you need more instructions, start reading from the beginning, and enjoy!
Advice
- Do everything slowly. Hit and run hugs are to be dedicated to strangers in case of formal greetings or important events, or for people in your family to whom you are not particularly attached, while prolonged hugs are for people whose closeness is important to you. It is also true that a romantic hug is highly intimate, and therefore you must allow the other person to interrupt it in case they feel uncomfortable. You don't have to move in slow motion, but calmly approach so that the other realizes your intention.
- As the hug brings you very close to other people, pay attention to personal hygiene, with the caveat that peppermint scents, essences and candies can all help make a romantic hug even more enjoyable, while it isn't there. nothing that spoils the atmosphere more than an unpleasant smell, including a perfume that is too strong.
- Hugging is like dancing together or kissing: it requires interaction with a partner. You feed on the energy of the other, without being able to force a specific response.
