Fall and winter seasons come and go every year, but stay strong ladies and gents, because this year getting in a relationship is not for you.
If you haven’t heard of the term “cuffing season,” Urban Dictionary defines it as a time during the fall and winter months when people who would normally rather be single or promiscuous find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be “cuffed” or tied down by a serious relationship.
Honestly, fall and winter is the worst time of year if you’re single. People getting into fall couple activities like carving pumpkins, Christmas countdown movie marathons and cuddling sessions while you are stuck by yourself, alone, cold, and did I mention alone? It might be the worst time of year to be single, but don’t just get into a relationship because everyone else is. Do what’s right for you, because in the end, you have to make yourself happy. Most of the time, these “cuffing seasons” relationships don’t last anyway.
It’s going to be hard, but it’s going to worth it. In six months, you won’t be dealing with a breakup; you will be drinking your coffee and will actually be happy. So to get through this time of year, here are some guidelines you should follow.
Holidays are the prime time to meet awesome people.
Holiday parties are said to be one of the best ways to meet people, but also the prime time to meet someone new. By being single, you have nothing to worry about other than having fun. So enjoy meeting all the girls and guys you can, because nights like that are the nights to do that.
Cuddle with your pet.
When you’re feeling lonely and have nothing to do, grab your dog or cat and make them love you. This always gets me through the bad days. And if you don’t have a pet, get one. In the end, you won’t be alone, and they will love you unconditionally.
Netflix, Netflix, Netflix.
Aren’t you always complaining how you don’t have time to catch up on "Grey's Anatomy" or "Narcos"? Well, now your problem is solved. You will have plenty of time to relax in bed with some good shows you never had time for before.
No relationship, more money.
Seriously. Christmas is coming way too fast, and I am sure the guy or girl you want to be with has a birthday way too soon on top of that. Don’t waste your time, effort and money on someone who is only there for the season. Both guys and girls can agree that fall and winter clothes can be some of the stylish things we see during the year. So, go spend all this extra money on you or something that actually matters, like your dog, for example.
More time for friends, food, and activities.
One of the things I have learned about getting into a relationship is that it takes a lot of energy, time and heart. Even if it were not that serious, you still are emotionally drawn towards that person and once it ends, you’re left feeling empty and even more alone then you would have if you just waited for the right person or time. By not getting into the “cuff season” trend, your time will be spent eating good food and creating better relationships with your friends. You will spend time doing things that make you a happier person.
