Begins as either a bear
hug or a squeeze
hug, but when the end of it is initiated, the
non-initiating party waits a second longer and then slowly disengages, but allows their hand to sweep down the person's back and then lets go at the waist.
A lingering
hug is awesome to witness or experience, if both parties are mutually attracted to
one another, but terribly
awkward if one or more parties is not interested.
