a hug from the side, that usually includes a pay on the back so it doesn't appear romantic in any way, shape, or form.

I really like Jimmy, but every time we get close, he ends up giving me the friend hug.

friend hug

(a) when one, under the stress of the immediate situation, engages to hug a potential significant other and fails to conform to traditional hugging practices; (b) wrapping one's arms around the neck or head of a significant other in lieu of encroaching upon semi-romantic boundaries; (c) a metaphorical action telling one whom you have recently had sexual encounters with that a relationship is not in the immediate future; and (d) the awkward interaction that occurs when one is indecisive about crossing the friendship line.

I am afraid that Jane might no longer want to hook up with me after giving a friend hug when I walked her home last night.

After looking into her eyes, I was not confident about kissing her so I immediately went for the friend hug.

Wow, that Suzy was one crazy girl. But I hope she gets the picture after that friend hug I gave her.

Hug Friend

A hug friend (sometimes referred to as a hug buddy) is similar to a fuck buddy. However, unlike a fuck buddy, the hug friend is only for hugging. You can call him or her any time of the day (similar to a booty call) to request a hug when you are lonely, depressed, or just want a damn hug.

Hug friends may hug while scantily clad or even naked, so long as their contact is strictly of a hug-like nature. Any additional touching of a sexual nature is considered a breach in the hug friend code so that the relationship may no longer be classified as a hug friendship.

"Yesterday I had a really shitty day, so I called up my hug friend, Mike, to request a hug. He came over and gave me a big cuddly bear-hug. Afterwards, I felt so much better."

"Room mate 1: So you went over to Amy's pretty late last night.. Did you guys do it?

Room mate 2: No, we're just hug buddies. She couldn't sleep because she needed a hug, so I went over to give her one."
