Guys: is "cuddle buddy" another way of saying he wants a "sex buddy"?

[Anonymous]

I've been talking to this guy for about 2 weeks now. We know each other from school, but besides that I don't really know him all that well other than from what we've talked about these last 2 weeks. We've made plans to hang out, but our plans have always fell through due to work. Well one night I was at work and he brought up the fact that he wishes I wasn't at work because he wants a "cuddle buddy." I told him I would be his cuddle buddy, so we made plans for me to come by his place to hang out. I'm assuming to watch a movie and to "cuddle". But is he thinking otherwise? I was wondering if maybe he's thinking to watch a movie and than to have sex. I'm not the type of girl to just give it up that easily, and I do want to cuddle, but not if its going to lead to sex right away. I'm not necessarily looking for a relationship either, but just to simply cuddle. I feel that if he was only looking for sex, he wouldn't have wasted his time talking to me for this long as it is. He also calls me beautiful and compliments me. I don't know guy code so please guys can you help me out on this one? Does the phrase "cuddle buddy" actually mean "sex buddy?"

Cuddling can be sexualized to a guy, but that doesn't mean it always is. If y'all just cuddle, and he doesn't go beyond that, it's not sexual. But if you're cuddling, and he starts... I don't know groping you or something that's sexual. I have a few female friends I cuddle with. Personally what we do is before we set boundaries. For example, I'm not comfortable with hands by, or especially under my belt buckle. So I'd say just go over boundaries with him. If he doesn't respect those, you can assume it's sexual

He will always start groping
Every guy I have fallen for this with has. And I have hung out with many guys in the past

There is no manuel for deciphering guy talk. From what you've described though I would think he is expecting sex. For "about 2 weeks" is really not that long... it's not like he's been dating you for 3 months and still isn't pressuring you about sex.

jumping to conclusions can be dangerous I woulden't say he wants sex from that alone unless he was doing something sexual like rubbing your thigh. I guess knowing a girl would just 'cuddle' with you no sex etc is kinda a confidence boost cause you would most likley need to be attractive for her to do it.

So he was trying to trick you into thinking he wanted to date you to get some. Not cool. At all. And yes it means sex buddy don’t do it!!!

Cuddle buddy means a no strings attached relationship without sex just cuddling but it can lead to sex.

Cuddle buddy isn’t a relationship at all. A relationship involves dinners and things and going out in public. And long term. Cuddle buddy does not
