This is a recouping theme in my dating life.i'll talk to someone and they will randomly ask me if I like to cuddle and I'm just wondering what the point of asking that is.someone I'm talking to randomly asked me that via text and when I asked why they stated how they were just curious.you might be familiar with my previous posts.im afraid someone is only interested in hooking up rather than something serious.this could be a form of flirting(a skill i havent mastered yet)

It sounds silly.

I'm not interested in dating toddlers or teddy bears, so I'd pass.

It does sound a bit silly but youd be shocked at how common of a question this is

The only time i have been randomly asked via text by guys I barely know to come over to CUDDLE were some sleazy guys trying to get me into their bed to do anything but cuddle.

It sounds weird. However, maybe millennial girls text stuff like that. Might be an age thingy?

Perhaps to find out if you're affectionate?

It's an opener to determine how willing you are to get physical right away. They're half a step above "want to see a d*** pic? As a matter of fact, you should reply "No. And I don't want to see body parts either."

Like Zentropa said, it's childish and tiresome.

Just so you know...it's not YOU. It's them. They're basically feeling you out for a hookup, and that's it. To ME, that'd be a waste of my time, if I'm looking for a relationship, and not a hookup. Personally, I find that kind of thing to be sooooooo tiresome and aggravating.

What gets extremely tiresome is the fact that these men say they are looking for a relationship and not a hook up and then go and ask questions like this.

he did ask mainly about what my future foals in life are, about my family my relationship with them and my friends etc but that 1 question just threw me off.its so hard to tell these days what the true intent is
