	Pucca  #545585  Wed, 23 Jul 08 07:31 PM How do you call someone who needs/wants lots of cuddles? I looked it up in the dictionary and seems that "affectionate" is the word but, is there any other adjetive?

	Pucca  #545590  Wed, 23 Jul 08 08:01 PM It is what you do to little babies or to someone you are very fond of, you give them hugs, kisses, lots of attention, etc. In Spanish that kind of person is called "mimoso" - Maybe it helps if you know Spanish    Pucca

	CalifJim  #545808  Thu, 24 Jul 08 09:32 AM Are you sure you would call someone who needs lots of cuddles mimoso? Wouldn't that be someone who gives lots of cuddles?  mimoso is loving, affectionate. But we wouldn't call someone affectionate just because they needed lots of cuddles.  We might call them insecure.  CJ     CalifJim Joined on Mon, Aug 2 2004 California Veteran Member (17,477) "There are no facts, only interpretations" - Nietzsche
