I was gonna put this on Craigslist just for giggles and to see what came up, but it's not working. Fail. Mind you, this is (kind of) a joke.
My name is Sarah, I'm currently 18 years of age and I'm looking for a cuddle buddy. Yeah, that's right, a cuddle buddy. (And no, not for "extreme cuddling" - that's a f*** buddy.) I do have a boyfriend (super long distance) whom I respect dearly and would never cheat on. That's not what I'm looking for.
What I'm looking for: I just want someone to have good times with, someone I can snuggle up on the couch and watch horror films with; boobies or warm muscley arms; good sense of humor (even better, British humor); drivers license and a horrible sense of direction (how else are we gonna get lost?); gamer; someone who already has a significant other.
What I'm not looking for: a boy/girlfriend; any physical contact beyond that of friends (ie, no kissing, groping, and no naughty, sneaky moves!); any romance of any sort; anyone over 23; very clingy people; people prone to falling in love with close friends.
Cuddle buddy: do you think it's a weird idea? Do you have one? Would you ever do it? Would you consider it cheating, even if there was no romance and a strict no-touchy-policy?
True

maybe you can pick one up at cuddle parties
It's a cute idea but I guess people can see cuddling as the start of something at times.
lol it looks to me like you're looking for a best male/female friend. if my gf was searching online for a cuddle buddy i'd probably get the wrong idea. esp since you're long d.
I wouldn't mind a cuddle buddy. As long as both people understand the terms, there's nothing wrong there. There is a fine line between two people just cuddling like friends would and actually doing things that would be considered cheating (i.e:kissing on the lips like a lover would, sex, etc).
I don't see it as cheating or think it's weird. Just as long as the S.O. doesn't get jealous and knows about it, I'm fine.
@tigerdauphin@xanga - I love cuddle parties.
Cuddling is fun.
The only thing is, if you have a cuddle buddy, I find it kind of unrealistic that there won't be a point at which you start to have romantic feelings.
i think it's a bad idea if you're in a relationship... but i think it's ok if you're both single; i wouldn't mind having one >_>
If it's the same gender as you, no, I wouldn't consider that cheating. If it was the opposite sex, mind you, anything can lead to cheating regardless what you say or try to put a limit on it. And yes, you do grow on someone after spending xxx amount of time with them.
IMO, don't play with fire.
Forgive me for this.. I feel the need to address it. Perhaps your pursuit of a cuddle buddy is merely propelled by a lack of physical contact with your significant other. In this case, @npr32486@xanga - makes an extremely good point. Consider that your long distance relationship is wearing on you, or consider my interpretation a failed one.
Get a man-pillow.
It sounds like you want to cheat on your boyfriend. If that hurts your feelings, oh darn! Either you need to break it off with him for someone who is closer to you or work on your relationship. The way I, and other people, would think: Cuddling feels good.....especially for women, because for us it releases these hormones that make us feel fuzzy and affectionate. It can lead to other things, like kissing, touching, and even sex. That's the stuff you do with your SO, not a "cuddle buddy". Rethink what you want.
ha, cuddling is fun, but i think it would be hurtful to your sig other bc they can't be there to cuddle with you.
use a body pillow. they're nice. xD
I loved your post! Haha... And honestly what would be perfect is if you found a gay guy cuddle buddy. He would never be a threat to your long distance boyfriend and you'd know that you'd never cheat.
Personally if it was me I wouldn't have the right amount of control to just have a cuddle buddy. I'd be afraid of what might happen. And any guy who would respond to an ad like this one would likely have sex in the back of his mind.
So gay guy! Its a epic win! =D
i have a cuddle bug, but he's my boyfriend :)
anddddd he's very much my favourite <3
good luck in your endeavour! :) xx
Lol I'd do it, but I'm single =P
Giant stuff panda with an Iphone attached to it, problem solved xDDD
Just curious: how does your bf feel about this? Even if my bf and I were in a long distance relationship, I'd feel very uncomfortable at the thought of him cuddling up with someone on a couch.
@jeezshoua@xanga - agreed...not the smartest idea in my opinion
What you need is a best friend. And your bf might feel better if it was female...maybe...
Another way of looking at a "cuddle boy" in your case would be a substitute boyfriend.
i think you are asking for trouble. as it will be very diff. to not have romantic feelings somewhere along the line. just human nature. and if i was your bf, i would find it hard not to be jealous, again normal human nature. i feel this would be very hard to meet your standards without some sort of big problems.
but about the only way you could obtain this would to find a gay guy that might be willing. but maybe it would be better to get a bf closer to you and fullfil all that you might need
Cute! :3 I'd do it, but I am both single and prone to falling in love with close friends..
I think all my friends are basically my cuddle buddies. Gay guys make great cuddle buddies, as well as straight girls. Any lesbians or straight guys that I've had as cuddle buddies, just don't seem to work out quite as well. Because there's always a little sexual tension there.
I volunteer!
you should get a gay best friend! lol that's what i use mine for
