@WakefulMountain Sorry to see you ended up canceling. I hope you can find someone to help ease your anxiety. Being upfront on your profile is good, but it may limit who reaches out to you for cuddling.
@CuddlesComfort8 idk how else to express myself or reword what I've written. I'll try though.
@WakefulMountain They are your feelings and you don't need to change how you worded them. Speak how you feel and don't worry about how it accommodates others
@pmvines thank you π
@WakefulMountain believe me I was in your shoes at one point. I signed up back in 2022 and was so afraid to do it that I just put it on the back burner. I found myself going through tough times 8 months ago and finally decided to give it a go. I honestly wish I would not have wasted any time and done it when I initially signed up. I've met some amazing people and absolutely love it! It's even made me a stronger, more confident person. Please don't let this one mess it up for you. Just do it! Also feel free to message me if you need any advice or assistance.
Best of luck to you and happy cuddling! π€
@pmvines I could see you laid out on one taking a cat nap haha π
This might be a stretch but maybe reach out to cuddle pros in your area to use their space. I know that I rent put my spot to other pros (although I have not been approached by enthusiasts)
@WakefulMountain Good luck! The freakout is natural. Maybe try a phone call , video call, or just coffee and nothing else first to meet the person?
A lot of folks including pros sometimes cancel last minute or ghost shortly before a meeting probably bc of the nerves and anxiety. That's okay. But, remember that you can't make an omelette without cracking a couple eggs.
The cuddle party doesn't always solve the problem (hopefully it does for you) - my one try involved people forming clicks and socially isolating everyone else. Also, they started talking about tantra and then I knew I had to scram. Gl.
@Minestrone101 in the back of my mind I had a feeling that was the case when it came to cuddle parties. The click culture. I don't see any near me anyways.
@WakefulMountain I think it's hit or miss like dance festivals. I think with cuddle buddies, having a good filter and vetting process helps. Gl!
The Gottman Institute has great research, development opportunities and resources for couples and singles.
Thereβs only so many baby goat/kittens or puppy yoga classes I can attend before preferring a good snuggle or companionship, to make me feel balanced and cared for in simplicity.
Can I just pay a damn red panda to cuddle me already !!
Oops wrong thread. Carry on .
Ski lodge

@pmvines Red Panda hug coming up! π
Lol! Red Pandas are adorable, and I thank @pmvines for unintentionally bringing them to my attention. β€οΈπ
I'm also from metro Detroit. both just for cuddles here, but even when i try to use dating apps in this area; people are really bad about ghosting. if they canceled then that seems like at least they're being considerable which is winning half the journey. good luck the way i get bombed with local messages then they all go away at Same time is so creepy.
also red pandas are amazing
@Katota I want them!!
@GuyverGordon Right! So adorable, they're like little fluffier red versions of racoons.β€οΈπ¦
