writes: Guy friend hugged me from behind??We're friends but not close have similar interests and occasionally flirt. Both in serious relationships and have no intention of leaving our partners so no affairs.It was really weird we were talking about my car (it was being fixed). I said it was lucky I had no passengers in my car(I had a accident) he said that's cause you haven't got any friends (while smirking) he then walked over and said I'm your friend though and hugged me from behind? He could have hugged me from the front but didn't?Why would he do that? Sorry about the set of this question but I'm just confused.

Thanks for your responses

Ok so that changes it a bit..
if you are 18 ewwww... maybe a bit creepy
if you are 21... and he is single... not so creepy
if he's married or partnered... I would find it uncomfortable... mainly because a hug from behind gives you in general very little control over the other person whereas hugging from the front... both parties are fully involved and can control what they do...from behind...he's go more control unless you know self-defense (which is a good thing for any young lady to have)

I think you are over thinking this,... I read this last night and I thought about it from when I was about 16/17 and I was hugged from behind...
I think it means nothing serious...
I often think if we over think things our "friends" do, that indicates that our feelings are deeper than we are admitting to ourselves.
if you feel more for this guy than just friendship, figure out what you want and approach him.

I wouldn't read more into it then a hug. I don't think a hug from behind is any more intimate then a "frontal" one to be frank.
I would guess he thought it was a nice gesture, so take it for that. A friendly HUG.

Not sure about mutual attraction we have similar interests but so do me and my other guy friends.
Thanks for your answers

doesn't necessarily mean anything. although it is somewhat flirtatious. i wouldn't stress too much about it, though. just make sure he doesn't make a habit of doing things like this. don't want to give him the impression you like it and i'm sure your boyfriend wouldn't be too keen on it, either.
