My bestfriend does not know how to cuddle.

It's cute though. If it isnt obvious, i'm still in her room and she's been quoting zoolander at me all day long. A woman after my own heart, that one.

Anyway, she said i should write a post teaching an aspie how to cuddle. It's different for everyone, but I guess I can give it a shot. Although honestly i only wanna teach one aspie. Lisa already knows lol.

Merriam Webster defines cuddling as holding close for warmth or comfort or for affection. I guess that works but it sounds dry and i dont like it. Cuddling is my very favorite thing after hugging. Some definitions i've found suggest that it's sexual, but i dont think so. it's just holding someone, and to me there isnt anything sexual about that. It's basically a hug lying down.

Um, I guess the easiest way to explain it is to hold someone close to you. Generally they do this back, but they dont have to. (Spooning is yay). Mothers will cuddle their babies, when they're crying and the mother picks them up and holds them. that's a cuddle. But it can be anyone doing it, i just think it'd be weird if it was family members cuddling or something.

So yeah. I cant really explain it any other way.
