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?

bluz – the plot always thickens with you doeesn’t it? lol.
re football – I’m not even a fan and I just told someone at lunch that I wanted to go to a football game. not pro, maybe not even college. just a little high school or pop warner game or something.

IF I were to call on Mags, I swear to you all that it would just be for booty and that’s IT! I’m not gonna do it…at least not for a while longer. I’m still ticked at him and don’t want him to think that all is well.
Much love, Bluz, but I swear to all that’s dear to me, you have got to be the most two-faced person I’ve ever read.

bluz – with all due respect that temptation should be gone by now. I’m giving you credit and letting you have that quick, fleeting moment where dude ran across your mind but the moment has passed (or should have passed). you have to put on your big girl shoes and say to yourself “later for him. he ain’t nobody”.
leggs – I know but you have to allow for folks imaginations. lol.
