Hugging doesn't always mean romance. Hugging can be a sign of friendship. Tigress multiply in the second movie, which takes place three years, (As the second movie was three years after the first.) she might've gone much closer to Po.
But as Tigress has never experiences true love, even though loving her foster father Shifu and and caring deeply of the villagers, she has never experienced a true romance at all, so she wouldn't exactly know the feeling of love, even though she might love and respect Po.
