A few months ago , while glancing through the cuddlers in my area , I saw a new profile for Birmingham (where I live ). There was no pic , and the profile was limited. There was nothing special or identifiable about the user name. I sent a message just stating hi, welcome to the site , good luck to you etc. Within 10 min she had visited my profile and sent a message saying we know each other and sent a pic . Low and behold , we had actually dated a few times back in the before times until March of 2020 hit. Needless to say with the world on hold, we lost touch . She had remembered me telling her about my cuddle friends, and though I hadn't told her about CC she wandered in on her own 2 yrs later .
After getting reaquainted, we decided to meet up to cuddle. We had dated before, however this was a different context as it was for platonic cuddling only . When cuddling she told me that she had been soul searching , and realized what she really was missing and wanted more than anything else was to be held and have someome to talk to . I asked her what has she been through to come to this point . She cried , telling me personal details involving her family and other stressors and traumas. We spent the evening lying in bed , holding each other and talking, and just being quiet as well . This was the closest we had been since knowing each other . No context of dating, or pressures or expectations of sex . Within this new context of cuddling and simply being, we were able to connect in a much different way, and on a deeper level . We have gotten together several times since, and are enjoying this renewed platonic cuddling friendship we now share .
