These types of hugs aren't what you would want from a guy. In the hug, he embraces you gently and pats your upper back lightly. This is an indication that he is not into you. This is generally their hug for buddies. If guys are giving you this hug it means they're far from being romantic and takes his relationship with you very lightly. This hug indicates that your relationship with him is not going anywhere. For example, you are on a date with the guy and he gives you this hug in a public place by the end of the date. It means he is hinting that you two should just be friends. It is also a hint to you that he is no longer interested in you or he might even be mad at you. But then, this hug might happen once in a while instead of regularly. In that case, you can be assured that your guy still loves you. There are several reasons why he is giving you this half-hearted hug. It might be encouragement to you before you are about to do something big.
