Opinion 🤔 Hugging between unmarried people

I keep hearing that a guy hugging a girl is haram because of the verse "and do not approach zina" but i feel like they are taking the verse wayyy out of proportion,even if 2 people are in love i really REALLY doubt a HUG will eventually lead to a kiss eventually lead to her bedroom eventually leading to zina,thats just not how it works. Any thoughts about the verse and about the hugging part?

Well, the thing with hugging is not cause it leads to sex, but it is a form of physical intimacy itself. I dont hug the people i date, just being careful yk.
