1. Bend Down Slightly

  • If the girl is significantly shorter, bend your knees a little so you're not towering over her. This will make the hug feel more balanced and comfortable. Avoid bending over from the waist, as this can feel awkward.

2. Open Arms for Comfort

  • Spread your arms wide enough to give her a comfortable space to step in for the hug. Your arms can wrap around her shoulders or upper back, depending on what feels right in the moment.

3. Wrap Your Arms Thoughtfully

  • You can either:

    • Place your arms around her shoulders or upper back while she wraps hers around your waist.
    • If she’s comfortable, you can hug from behind or put one arm around her back and the other around her shoulders.

4. Consider Her Preferences

  • Some people prefer tighter hugs, while others like gentle, brief ones. Pay attention to her body language and how she initiates the hug, and adjust accordingly to match her comfort level.

5. Hold for the Right Length of Time

  • A good hug is warm but not too long. Let her go when it feels natural, and if she pulls away, respect that timing.

Ultimately, it’s about making sure she feels comfortable and appreciated in the hug. A thoughtful approach goes a long way!
