I had an ex of mine over last night to cuddle. We broke up about a year and a half ago, but we have turned into pretty good friends. We chat occasionally and go out to grab drinks about once or twice a month. Every once in awhile we get mistaken for a couple, and he'll always jump to correct, "No! We USED to be a couple, but she DUMPED me!" The other person will always stand there, awkward, but we start laughing because there are no hard feelings. I will then go a step farther and add, "But we're getting back together. He still has feelings for me. The love is still there," to which he will reply, "Love? Back together? What? No. That isn't true."
There have been a few drunken nights where we ended up sleeping together. I think two, to be exact. I will then send him random messages saying, "Cuddle tonight?" to which I am always about 50% serious, 50% joking. Last night was one of those nights, and he actually replied and said, "Sure!" After some back and forth talk of, "Are you serious? Fo realz?" he finally came over.
It was actually pretty awesome. We picked a lame movie (Blue Crush, hell yeah hot girls in bikinis) and settled down together. In my last year of The Single Life I have learned that some people are not good at cuddling. Who would have known that was possible? It's true though. Some guys are just too bony, or have awkward elbows sticking out, or they don't know what to do with their arms, or they lay in this strange position that makes them think you are comfortable, but you're not, and neither are they. They don't understand that cuddling should be good for both parties. And then there are the guys who "cuddle" by poking their boner into your ass and yell out, "But I couldn't HELP IT!" This was great, because there was none of that. It was just old fashioned, lame, make you wanna puke cuddling. Complete with being totally comfortable, random arm squeezing, that little finger rubbing thing you do on the other person's arm, face nessled into my hair, and eventually snoring into my ear. I couldn't have asked for more.
