You're not even in a romantic relationship with someone if you're only friends. If you're doing things like "cuddling," though, perhaps it would be best to make sure she knows you're not in a romantic relationship together. If you've both established you're not "together," then I don't see what the big deal is.
Having a close friend doesn't mean you can't go out seeking a romantic relationship.
And then I thought about if you did go and find someone to be romantically involved with. She surely would not be okay with your cuddling friend. You need to just commit to someone, man. Everything about this is asking for a mess.
Screw it. Simplified point of what I'm saying: I consider cuddling something you do with your romantic partner. There.
