The process of opening your arms a little bit when you see someone or saying good-byes to bait them into giving you a hug. Usually this is done with the elbows out but hands not all the way spread, so that the hug-baiter is not embarrassed about a rejection.
Big John was hug-baiting me. He just wants to press his body against me.
Chef Ramsey is a perfect hug-baiter. He hugs everyone so he can feel up the hot ones without anyone wondering.

When a guy drops subtle hints that that he’s into you and then when you work up enough courage to ask him he turns out to be straight and all the effort you put in going down the drain all those built up feelings and no where to put them

Is John coming?
Nah, he invited us but I think he's found a party in SF that's more interesting.
Classic bait and ditch!
