It's getting chilly, the days are getting shorter, seasonal affect disorder is upon us, and we all need some love and affection in these not-so-fun times. Therefore....

Now is the perfect time for me to be reaching out for a FWCB, a Friend with Cuddling Benefits. I am looking for someone who is down to hang out, be friends first and foremost, and also be into cuddling (and maybe making out a little if we feel comfortable with it) while we lay in bed watching a movie or set up a picnic in the park or something. The activities in which surround the cuddling, etc. are up for discussion between the two of us.

I am 28 years old, 5' 10", 150ish pounds and based out of Manhattan. I am a well educated professional working in education and I enjoy continuing to learn new things about me, other people, and other things (if you sense a theme about me...). I also enjoy taking the opportunity to walk around my neighborhood each day and sometimes even go on longer, further away hikes in the wonderful parks in our wonderful city. Some other things include more insular things such as being on my computer for too long each day because of life right now, scouring Reddit, playing a variety of games, especially strategy/sim/builder games such as The Sims and SimCity in addition to board games, and listening to all the music on YouTube and Spotify. Oh, and getting ready for (hopefully) college basketball to start now that the Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs! I also greatly enjoy watching the same four or so shows on Netflix because sometimes having some constants in your life is a very good and peaceful thing. I am also very aware of and observant in all things Covid related, meaning I always wear a mask, social distance, and adhere to guidelines at all times. I am currently Covid free and ddf (recently tested!) and intend on being Covid tested regularly both for work and life purposes.

Here is what I am looking for in a potential partner: You should be somewhere around my age, I think a good arbitrary range is 23-33, though definitely no one under 21 or over 35. You are kind, caring, take care of yourself, and enjoy life. My preference is for someone who has an average to thinner body. You are willing to verify yourself, as I will also. You should also be ddf, and especially Covid free. This is nonnegotiable. Like me, you should be regularly getting tested and adhering to all social distancing and mask wearing protocols.

Regarding hosting, here are my thoughts: I can host at times, though I have found that many people are not necessarily interested in trekking all the way to Upper Manhattan (plus my internet can be spotty...). It would also be nice if you were able to host on occasion as well.

Finally, it bears repeating since this is so prevalent right now, ADHERENCE TO COVID SOCIAL DISTANCING AND MASK WEARING GUIDELINES, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR ANYTHING TO PROCEED. THIS IS NONNEGOTIABLE.

Wow, if you made it this far, that was a lot of reading! If you think you might be interested, send me a message with a little about yourself and why you think you would be a good fit. As an added bonus, your title should include something punny about fall, because puns are the absolute best thing in the world.
