Answer 1

Try using data-hover="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false"
<li class="nav-item dropdown" style="cursor:pointer">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdown3" data-hover="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" href="services.html">SERVICES</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown3">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>

Bootstrap Dropdown Hover
Wrap the dropdown's trigger and the dropdown menu within .dropdown as it is important. Add data-hover="dropdown" to the main action button or link to activate hover event.
Keypoint is to add data-hover="dropdown"
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-hover="dropdown">
Dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li class="dropdown">
One more dropdown
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li class="dropdown">
One more dropdown
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
...
</ul>
</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</div>
