Question

My boyfriend is 8.2 inches taller than me. It's difficult for me to reach his shoulders. Is it still intimate if I hug him around his chest/high waist area?

Community Answer

I think it's fine to hug his waist, and he probably will too. You could also ask him to lift you up.

Question

My boyfriend is eight inches taller than I am. How can I hug him without being awkward?

Maleah Moon

Community Answer

Try to stand on the tips of your toes, so you don't come in contact with any areas that are "off limits." Or, just wrap one arm around his waist and give him a side hug.

Question

I am about 5 inches taller than my girlfriend. I always engage first, so my arms are under hers, but that makes for an awkward hug since she is short. What should I do?

Ashlyn Bibby

Community Answer

Try hugging her around the shoulders, or upper arm just below the shoulders.

You can hug her normally. This article applies to large height differentials.

Question

How do I make my crush want to hug me?

Community Answer

You should just ask them for a hug. Try a side hug to begin with. Just bring it up casually, say something like, "Ugh, I've had a long day. Can I have a hug?"

Question

Is a girl going to ask me to pick her up when I'm hugging her?

Community Answer

Rarely. If she's your SO, then you will know whether she wants to be lifted up or not.

Question

What would a guy about nine inches taller than his girlfriend do to hug well?

Community Answer

When you hug her, bend down so she can reach your more easily, then what you'd want to do is open your arms a bit to signal you want a hug or are offering one. After that, if she holds onto you, and if she is comfortable with it, nuzzle your nose into her neck a little.

Question

What if I'm to scared to ask my boyfriend to lift me up when were hugging because he's a foot taller then me? What do I say or do?

Community Answer

You could come on straight up and say, "Will you lift me?" or just get on your tippie toes and gently lean your weight on him. If it doesn't work, just ask, the worst thing that can happen is he says no.

Question

How does the girl hug a guy from behind if he is like a foot taller?

Community Answer

You would get on your tippie toes and hug him around his waist area. Do not lower your arms or else it might become awkward when you feel a slight change elevation. Slightly rest your head onto his back. Make sure you know he is comfortable with it. If he jerks forward, step back from the hug.

Question

Is girl’s-head-on-guy’s-chest kind of hug considered as intimate hug? I hug my boss this way, and I don’t want other people to think I hug him inappropriately.

Moonmodule1998

Top Answerer

That can be a very intimate hug, but this will also depend on other factors: how long the hug lasts, context, how normal hugging is in your work environment, etc. If you're really worried about your coworkers thinking it inappropriate, a more casual hug would be a side hug.
