If you are at the onset of a relationship, this is the perfect way to express yourself without being bold. However, in an existing relationship, a flirty hug (which involves a little delicate touching) is a great way to keep the romance alive. If you do this often, you two are on the right track.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hugs_around_the_Waist\"><\/span><strong>Hugs around the Waist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15143 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hugs-around-waist.jpg\" alt=\"Hugs around waist\" width=\"621\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hugs-around-waist.jpg 792w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hugs-around-waist-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Hugs-around-waist-768x442.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, this is an intimate one that is ideal for Hug Day wishes (wink). Both the parties face each other with their hands around the other one&#8217;s waist. Hugging around the waist is one of the romantic hugs as it brings you awfully close to your beau. Not to forget your first time when your heart beats only faster and louder.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Friendly_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Friendly Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-15144 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Friendly-Hug.jpg\" alt=\"Friendly Hug\" width=\"619\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Friendly-Hug.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Friendly-Hug-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Friendly-Hug-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Friendly-Hug-810x539.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Amongst the different types of hugs, the friend hug is not ideal for relationships. While the upper body is close to each other, the pelvises are away. This type of hug happens in a relationship when you are in a hurry or don&#8217;t wish to seem intimate to the public eye.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heart_to_Heart_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Heart to Heart Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-15145 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Heart-to-Heart-Hug.jpg\" alt=\"Heart to Heart Hug\" width=\"621\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Heart-to-Heart-Hug.jpg 759w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Heart-to-Heart-Hug-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As the name says it, this hug touches the heart. Both the parties move to the left while hugging because of which their hearts meet first. It is a very sweet and romantic type of hug that takes intimacy to a different level. The heart to heart hug is also ideal for those who don&#8217;t like hugging much but wish to appease their partner. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is going to be one of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fnp.sg\/gifts\/valentines-day\">Vday gifts<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your bae when you express all your emotions on the day of love on the 14th of Feb!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Side_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Side Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15146 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-hugs.jpg\" alt=\"side hug\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-hugs.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/side-hugs-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A less enthusiastic and intimate way of showing your support or love is by a side hug. It is common against friends and acquaintances, but in a romantic relationship, it means you are either shy to show your emotions or are being formal. In both cases, this hug will usually be given to or by your partner when you are in public.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bear_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Bear Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15148 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bear-hug.png\" alt=\"bear hug\" width=\"503\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bear-hug.png 503w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/bear-hug-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The bear hug is like a tight hug but warmer and longer in duration. It can be done while standing or lying down as one fully wraps his arms around the lover. The bear hug is exchanged during the cuddling sessions as it makes both of them feel safe and secure.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_Hugs\"><\/span><strong>Back Hugs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-15147 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"back hug\" width=\"617\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/back-hug.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 617px) 100vw, 617px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best way to give Hug Day wishes is with a back hug. No matter how many movie scenes get shot on this type of hug; it will always be the favourite for couples. For partners, the back hug is meaningful and romantic because of the spooning effect which can also be considered as cuddling. Also, who doesn&#8217;t like to cuddle?<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eye_to_Eye_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Eye to Eye Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-15149 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Eye-to-Eye-Hug.jpg\" alt=\"Eye to Eye Hug\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Eye-to-Eye-Hug.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Eye-to-Eye-Hug-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Eye-to-Eye-Hug-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like the heart to heart hug, this one is self-explanatory too.

The straddle hug is one of those hugs wherein one keeps his head on the partner&#8217;s chest. While this does have a sexual overtone, it can also be a great way to soothe things for your beloved, especially when they are crying. It shows the level of understanding you two have with each other.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_Hug\"><\/span><strong>Long Hug<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-15151 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"long hug\" width=\"618\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/long-hug.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are times when you hug a person and do not want to let go.
