I Want To Surprise You From Behind Hug: The act of coming up behind the hugee and wrapping your arms around their waste and holding them tight.

But when should you perform a hug? Here are some real life scenarios that should help you!:

Jenn: I missed you so much!
Ben: Oh yes! Lets hug!
In this case, a Bear Hug would be most appropriate.

Jenn: Reading a magazine while standing in a upright position.
Ben: I missed you babe, Comes up behind her and holds her by the waist
Correct! A I Want To Surprise You From Behind Hug was just used appropriately!

Jenn: I am all alone but I want a hug.
If you guessed that a Me-Hug would be suitable for this situation…award yourself a pat on the back! Or perhaps…a Me-Hug!

Jenn: I am cold! Brrr.
Ben: Here, I will keep you warm.
At this point, a Tall Person Short Person hug would be fitting.

Jenn: Oh welcome! Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Ben: Thank you for inviting me to your party!
An A-Frame Hug would be very apt in this state of affairs.

Jenn: LOVE!!! Embraces Ben tightly.
Ben: No! no! no!
Yes, this is a example of what a Rape Hug would be like.

Jenn; Oh joy!
Ben: Life is good!
Ken: My life is meaningful!
Lenn: I enjoy things!
