Dating: What is cuffing season?!
Thank goodness for the internet! I am now fully aware of the official urban dictionary definition of cuffing season:
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.
Didn’t know there was a new term for this. Honestly, when I heard cuffing season my mind went straight to the gutter (I’m awful, I know). But I digress; this cuffing season is one of those double-edged swords. It can be good or it can be really bad. What happens in the spring? Will your cuffing boo suddenly start to look less appealing with the change in seasons?
This just proves how fickle dating can be. You could be excited about someone for a couple of months and things get hot and heavy. Then out of nowhere, you look up and find the person has become bored, gone to the next victim. They may even pull that oh so lovely disappearing act – my personal favorite maneuver (NOT).
Do you ever think that people you are pursuing or dating are only interested in you to keep them warm in the fall or winter? How do you know if they are planning on sticking around?

I do see what ya’ll are saying and based on past experience, ya’ll have every right to say it. I’m just saying that I want some D and he has a good one and since I’ve already “been there,” it’s easier to call on it than to find someone new to just get that from. I’m really not at a point to get involved in a relationship…the little bit of dealings with Mags showed me that. I do still have some anger and other things in relations to the last relationship that I have to deal with. I just want sex!!!

LOL@Sassy. I guess it was a bit of overkill, but there’s been so much fish talk in here today, I didn’t want to leave it open to misinterpretation.

@disco “…..being the type chick who can sex with no strings attached and no emotional attachment.”….I call bull shiznit on that one. I have yet to meet a woman,(including the done it all, early fifties, well traveled, financially secure, don’t want marriage, don’t need or want a man, only diznick types )whom can withstanding consistent quality pipe, along with an uninhibited, effortless, fun, positive vibe, mentally stimulating friendship, without eventually becoming somewhat emotionally invested. Yall not wired that way.
