Q&A for How to Snuggle

When your boyfriend/girlfriend says, "I do not want to snuggle" or tries to get some space. Snuggling in moderation is great, but too much can be suffocating.

There is no specific time limit. As long as you and your partner are comfortable, you can snuggle for as long as you want.

It will go away on its own after a bit. You will get more comfortable with this and you will feel happy and excited instead of nervous. Just snuggle a bit more and you will feel better.

Respect her personal space. Ask again once she feels more comfortable with you.

Just be yourself. A relationship is always a little awkward at first, but the more time you spend with him, the easier it will get. Talk to him like you would any friend. Ask him how his day is going, etc. Try not to worry every second about what he's thinking of you. He's probably just as nervous as you are.

Consider seeking help from a mental health professional, as it sounds like it's a pretty serious issue that is affecting your well-being. You can also start small by holding hands, or just letting your partner place their hand on your arm or shoulder. Make sure you talk to your partner about all of this so they understand that things need to move slow.

There's no difference. These two words mean the same thing and are used interchangeably.

Try to find a more secluded area wherever you are. If this is not possible, keep your snuggling to hand-holding, or maybe resting your head on your partner's shoulder. You don't want to do too much snuggling in public, as you'll make people uncomfortable.

Try to use some antiperspirant deodorant beforehand, and make sure the room is at a cool temperature. If you’re sweating because you’re nervous, just calm yourself, and remember that this is a perfectly normal thing for a couple to do. It’ll get better with time and experience.

While you shouldn't care what people think, you still need to respect others, and seeing any PDA can make some people very uncomfortable. Hand holding, placing your head on your partner's shoulder, and quick kisses are all okay. I wouldn't do any more than that. As for being part of a same sex couple, the sad truth is that it depends on where you live. Some places are very accepting of LGBTQ+ people, whereas in other places you may face rude comments, or even violence.

Try to take a relaxing bath or shower before the snuggle. This can help you get into a relaxed mood. Also, getting into comfortable clothes can be helpful. Overall, just be yourself and most importantly, find a comfortable position. Besides, if you are nervous about them not wanting to snuggle, just remember that they love and care for you and if you feel the same, there is no reason to be nervous!

Not really, just make sure you guys are both comfortable and relaxed. Snuggling should be a fun experience.

Yes! If your partner is already laying in bed, you can easily get into a spooning position. Simply lay down next to them and pull them in close to you with one arm, then make sure you're both comfortable.

There's no right or wrong time to start cuddling, but you'll want to wait until you're both comfortable with each other. After you've been out on a couple dates and you're okay with being alone together, that's when you might bring up the idea of cuddling or ask your partner if they'd like to snuggle with you.

Talk to your partner and make sure they're comfortable the whole time. If you want to, you could stroke their hair, rub their back, or just whisper nice things into their ear. Above all, focus on having a nice time and getting closer to your partner.
