Okay, so for any of you lucky people out there who haven't heard about "Cuffing Season" let me drop some knowledge on you.
According to Urban Dictionary (yeah, I know), Cuffing Season is described as:
"During the Fall and Winter months 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. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed.
I'm tired, and here's why... with some gif assistance.
When tf did this become a thing?
(Me when I first heard about Cuffing Season)
And this is my genuine thought process: If I didn't even know what the heck cuffing season was, how they heck were boys supposed to? Did they know about this all along?? Is this a boy creation? Is that why I don't understand?
...Why?
This is my "strong independent woman" (or man) rant. For three years, I was in a serious relationship, and when it ended it was around Halloween and a part of me was like "Oh my gosh, I'm going to be alone for the holidays. Who's going to kiss me at midnight?!" Dumb reaction. If you feel that way, no judgement, but the holidays came and went and it was nice being single and focusing on my family more, and I went to bed early on New Years because I had a flight the next day! The world doesn't end when you're single, and the warm fuzzy feelings around the holidays don't go away, which leads me to my next point...
It's a trap!!
And this speaks to some real relationship "ish." Maybe I'm just not the kind of person to date someone when I know it's only for the season. But getting into a relationship or whatever you wanna call it just because your lonely is a trap!! Don't do it!! You don't want to pick up some guy because you're low-key desperate, look back on your holiday pics, and see this random guy or gal who you didn't even like that much.
Also, what if they dumb you on New Years Eve?
(I know it's tempting because cuddles, but don't. Do. It.)
You have to spend more money
New relationships are hard enough, let alone forced ones, and let alone forced ones that require presents!
(^^ You when you fell for Cuffing Season)
You're going to spend more time thinking about what to get them, and if it's weird than you'll spend with the fam... again, I say, it's a freakin' trap.
Who the heck named this thing?
Cuffing Season. As if the idea of shacking up with some guy or gal because it's cold outside wasn't random enough... we're gonna call it cuffing.
Ladies and Gents: Keep your standards high
(Ur friends @ ur cuffing partner)
Hold out until you find that amazing guy or gal, and trust me the cuddles-- and presents-- are going to be wayyyyy better.
(You after the holidays when you don't need to drop or be dropped)
