Air hug 

A perfect way to rejects someone's hug without actually rejecting them. You open your arms out wide and pretend to pat someone's back like you do when you actually hug.

Creepy Girl: It's the last day of the year. I'll miss you! Let's have a goodbye hug!
You: Uh... I like air hugs better! *air hugs*
Creepy Girl: Ok! *air hugs*
