There isn't an exact time estimate, but romantic hugs definitely last a bit longer than your standard hug.

Question

According to these tips, the hugs I get from my friend are romantic. I'm only 12. What do I do, I've never dated a boy before?

Possibly they don’t know it’s romantic, or they are always big huggers, or they possibly like you.

Question

What does it mean when your same gender best friend hugs you randomly for a long time with tight squeezing and leaning your head against your shoulder?

They are either happy to see you or, they are bear huggers, or maybe they need a shoulder to secretly cry on.

Question

A girl I met hugged me around my neck. It was only once a week ago, but she's been 'finger waving' to me (and regular waving to others) and always says hi to me. What's happening?

Community Answer

She likes you. She hugged you around the neck because she wanted you to pull her in by the waist. The finger waves and always saying hello is her flirting with you.
