So...yah, last night a girl came over to my house, one that I really like. We talked for a time, shared stories, played some games together. While we were talking, she said, "You know what I miss in a relationship? Cuddling." I knew what this meant, but I had no idea what to do. I was lost, traveling a road I have never been on. She went into my bed and called me to her. We couldn't lay together (CURSE YOU TWIN SIZE BED!). So I decided to lay blankets down in another room, enough to make even the hardest wood floor like a padded cushion. We laid down together, she rolled up against me putting her head to my chest. As soon as she did, she rolled away.

My own mother was subjective to showing any form of closeness, even with her own husband. She always kept us, and our father, at arms length, never showing any type of closeness what so ever. At least this is my excuse for not knowing what to do.

I watched my sister for a time, but realized that that wasn't cuddling, that was pretzel formation, and probably very uncomfortable. Her and her boyfriend would sit in each others laps, with legs enveloped around each other.

This is more of a question to women, or maybe men if they can keep the laughter to a minimum. I know cuddling isn't an exact science, but please share some tips for the unknowing.

A twin bed never kept me and my man from 'cuddling' (he hates that word LOL). In fact, the smaller the bed, the closer you have to get.

What's to share? You lay/sit close together (you already witnessed the pretzel formation as one possibility), wrap your arms around each other, and maybe let your fingers do some walking while you're in position and, Voila! You're cuddling....snuggling...

WARNING: Cuddling may lead to sex.
WARNING: Sex may lead to cuddling.

CAVEAT: Cuddling may lead to sleep, so be sure you are comfortable and positioned so that circulation is not cut off to appendages. Keep the TV remote or a book close at hand in case you wish some entertainment while the cuddlee sleeps.

Even with the blankets the floor wasn't comfy enough for a good cuddle. you need a bed or a good sofa. Or maybe she was upset you didn't crawl into the sack with her. On the floor I would suggest spooning.

I know, it wasn't the absolute best spot. I have two couches and both are pretty rock-hard, firm cushions. She didn't like my bed either, because it was rock hard as well. I was actually going for a mood setting. She's been with guys that have taken her for granted, and I wanted to be more..., I don't know, just more.

Believe me, I was more upset with myself at the multiple of signs she threw at me. And probably not just for the cuddling part.

I see you haven't experienced enough 'floor'. Good for far more than spooning. There's plenty of time for that later.

LOL, i've got more time on the floor than you have on earth probably. He was asking advice on cuddling and the floor ain't the best place for it.

Women have always told me that I'm a great "fit" to cuddle with so maybe that has something to do with it too. Maybe you two didn't "fit"

Now this makes some sense, probably why the floor wasn't the best idea. I can at least move the cushions around on the couch, prob myself up a little to get a lengthy arm around her. However, she wrapped herself in a double thick snuggie.

Thanks Whyte Byrde, hopefully next time it'll be in a softer place.
