If we were good friends yes, I’m still getting used to people being physical tho I’m in medical school and my friends love hugging, im the awkward one who goes for side hugs or just avoids physical contact

Ok but what if that was the first and only hug

Like I’d probably hug but I wouldn’t think anything big about it unless it was significant in some other way (like duration)

Honestly, I don’t see any problem with a hug under the vast majority of circumstances. Definitely not this circumstance, he worked with them and now they are leaving, they gave eachother affection to say goodbye, not a big deal

Dude if you want it to mean something go ask the guy out. It’s not like you have to be concerned about HR or working together anymore

Ok well my uncle is his boss so it’s complicated. I was just doing an internship that ended. My uncle would probably be really cool and even happy about it but still it’s complicated

It was a normal hug but like I wrote everyone thank you notes and he was gonna be in a meeting when I was leaving and he made a point to come see me and say goodbye before that

We texted a lot at work but we haven’t hung out and barely texted outside of work so maybe I should ease into it with coffee?

Make it low stakes , just ask him to go get coffee or something chill, something low pressure

Yes definitely ease into it but it’s now up to you to take the initiative
