10 Reasons Why You Need A Cuddle Buddy In Your Life
If you're a single person in Montreal, like me, then you should totally consider getting yourself a cuddle buddy ASAP. According to urban dictionary, a cuddle buddy is a person you cuddle in a completely non-sexual way. No relationship, no problem. There should be a mutual agreement that the cuddles are strictly platonic and the two of you are seeking mutual affection, nothing else. Why would you need such an arrangement you ask? Here are 10 reasons why you need a cuddle buddy in your life.
1. Winter is coming
Brace yourselves, cold winter days are coming. There is nothing better than cuddling someone when it's freezing cold outside.
