Non-committal cuddling

Non-committal cuddling. One question... why do I do it? I had a friend ask me this question on Saturday and all day Sunday it really got me thinking. Why do I do it? My initial response was "because it is comforting."

Some people are against it because it leads people on and someone ends up getting hurt. Which could be true, but I always tried to make a point of letting the person know it was non-committal before actually doing it. But does that make it any better? I still have found that 1 of several things ends up happening...

They get attached to me
I get attached to them
The cuddling gets boring and pointless or
The cuddling gets out of control.

And are any of these situations that good? I don't think so.

Then I have come to realize that the guys I tend to like a lot aren't a fan of cuddling with someone unless they really like them. What happens if they find out I cuddle with other guys even if I don't like these other guys? Would they suddenly not like me? Although to me, it is not a big deal, I don't want to miss out on someone because of something stupid I could have changed.

After taking a day to think about all of this, I have officially made a new goal. I am done non-committal cuddling. It may be hard because I am so used to doing it, but I honestly believe I can do it. Now, when I end up cuddling with someone, it will be because I really do like them and want to be with them. The question I have now is... how do I turn down cuddling with someone who thinks I am a non-committal cuddler without making them feel rejected? haha... I'll figure it out. :)
