How to hug
Approach your crush carefully.
Smile and say some caring words or compliments. Make sure that he or she is expecting a hug! It can be awkward if you come up and hug someone out of the blue, especially in the city.
Hugs often happen at celebratory events like birthday parties, graduations, or when two people are reunited after a long absence (that may be the right time to give someone a nice hug). Lean forward and put your two arms around your crush, pressing the person you are hugging warmly toward you.
