He hugs others but he just pats me on the head. What does this mean?

Question - (31 March 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 31 March 2010)
A female Australia age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So there's this guy, and we've become pretty good friends over the past few weeks, but I've noticed that he's different in his behaviours to different people. Sometimes he lashes out when people touch him, but he only tolerates it from a couple of people - me and a few of my friends. He doesn't touch people himself a lot - there's only a couple. Like he constantly hugs one of my friends - Rihannon. But with me, he pats me on the head instead. I was talking to my friend about it, and she said that apparently I give off the impression that I don't like being hugged. Does the head patting/hugging mean anything? I know he has lots of female friends but it's only me and this other girl that he seems to touch.

Tasmanian devil agony auntWell he obviously feels comfortable around you and rihannon, therefore only touches you two. He may like the other girl in a different way if hes constantly hugging her coz it shows he likes being close to her. Whearas a pat on the head is what you do more for some1 like your sister. Unless you have reacted weirdly to when he does/did hug you, making him think you don't like hugs

Laura1318 agony auntMaybe, next time when he is giving out hugs to your friends, tell him , 'Give me a hug!'

Head patting and hugs may not mean the same thing.If he head pats you , he could be treating you like a little girl or like you said, you give the impression that you don't like hugs.
