Good for you!
I did the same thing. I think I did it even before I wanted a hug, just because I was curious about his boundaries. And then I moved up to a handshake, which my therapist treated with suitable gravity. And he understood my reasons for asking for one. And I think he's given me a couple of hugs in the last couple of years. As you know, they weren't anything memorable.
But I remember my cousin's big hug at my father's funeral. It broke down my barriers and let me sob. So I understand that touch can be important at times. I can also understand why it could be scary.
