This is a strange phenomenon that happens to a lot of people.

On one hand, patting can indicate that the hugger is a little uncomfortable with hugging and doesn't know what to do with his hands or how to remain in the embrace for an extended period of time. On the other hand, back-rubbing can serve to emphasize the emotion of the hugger. It's like underlining a hug. Whatever the sentiment that went into the hug, now it has doubled.

Why does a girl rub your back when hugging?

oh honey that means the hug is over. Sure you may never want to let go but obviously he is done. If he is rubbing you on the back during a hug now that's different that's more of a sensual action if he is just patting you that means " okwe've hugged now I'm done." so here's what you do, pat him back and pull away before he gets a chance to end the hug first this way you're playing hard to get and he will feel like the hug has been cut shorter thanhe wants thus since he will feel like he can't have you he will automatically like you more and want to hang on longer thus ending the patting on the back. Make since? See it's just human nature for people to want what they can't have. It will get them every time.

Why is it difficult to rub your stomach and pat your head at the same time?

Because most people have only one dominate side of the brain that they use. Such as right or left handed. If you are an experienced guitar player or piano player, you have taught yourself to be both right and left handed and doing the pat head rub tummy trick will be easy for you.
