Dating a friend can be a great experience — and often, that friendship is the perfect foundation for a healthy relationship. But sometimes it can feel awkward and you can realize that your friendship chemistry just isnt the same as romantic chemistry.

Is it OK to cuddle with a friend?

Is cuddling normal, healthy, and great? Get comfortable with how you feel about making the request first… and remember, there is nothing strange about wanting physical intimacy with someone in or outside of an intimate relationship. You are allowed to want to cuddle. Its totally fine and normal.
