Can you start a relationship with a friend?

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.

How do you initiate cuddling with a friend?

Start slow. Place a hand on their shoulder, back, or on their waist to show your intent. Rest it there for a few minutes or give a light rub. Make sure that your intentions for cuddling are clear. You can place a hand on their shoulder, but that doesnt necessarily mean you want to cuddle with the person.
