I was cool with it, but didn't want to do it in front of my friends, basically being a typically embarrassed teen.

One day, my boy from across the street was over. My dad walked in from work and gave me a hug, and I was embarrassed as usual....and then my boy said "oh.....your dad gives you hugs?" and I can tell he was trying to play it off......but he looked CRUSHED!

His dad has always been in his life, along with his mom, but it just seems like his dad does have that provider vibe...he's a car mechanic, straight blue collar. I felt hella bad, and my embarrassment immediately changed to me just not wanting to make my friends or anyone else feel bad because their situations are different.
