    You should wait for at least three dates before kissing a girl. You need to have more information about each other before kissing.

  • Question
    My boyfriend hates cuddling, but I crave it. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Let him know how important cuddling is to you and why you crave it so much. You could also let him know about other types of "cuddling" that might satisfy your need for physical touch. For example, you could lay your head on his lap or just lay your legs across his. Different cuddling positions have different amounts of physical contact, so he can find a position that's more comfortable for him.

    Why does one tap their fingers on another's body as if they're playing the piano? Does it mean they're anxious?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It might mean that they're playful, and are waiting for your acceptance, or trying to show you that they are. Or, it could mean they're in a position where they don't quite know what to do, it depends on how that person is performing the actions, and their mood.

    Yes. What you're describing is a platonic relationship (a close friendship that is not romantic or sexual). If you want to cuddle with her, then you should ask and see if she's comfortable with it.
  • Question
    What do I do if I want to be the big spoon but I'm the shorter/smaller one?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Just go for it! You might suffocate a little bit since your face will likely be buried into the other person's back, but whatever. You could tilt your head back about 10 degrees so you can breathe while still enjoying the experience of being the big spoon.

    Community Answer

    Why does my boyfriend always want to cuddle with me in public?

  • Question
    How do I cuddle someone when I'm 14? I want it to not be taken too far, but I want to show him I am cuddly. How do I do that?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    At the age of 14, the more intimate cuddling positions, such as spooning, may not be appropriate, but you could try putting your head on his shoulder, or just sitting very close to him and holding his hand. If at any point things go too far, simply tell him you're uncomfortable and he should stop.
  • Question
    I just got asked out by my friend (a girl like me). Should I enforce cuddling right away, or wait until we are serious?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Whatever you guys are comfortable doing! When you're ready, ask her, "Can I have cuddles?" or, "I'd like to cuddle." If she's comfortable doing so, she'll welcome the opportunity. If not, she may not be comfortable with that yet and you'll have to give her time. There's nothing you can do to "enforce" cuddling - it's a mutual act of affection, not a requirement of any sort of relationship, no matter how serious.
  • Question
    What should I do if I want to cuddle romantically, but I'm not sure if they do?

    Ask them! Put it out there subtly, but sincerely. Take note on how long you've been together and, using that, consider that your partner may not feel up to it (yet).
  • Question
