No shock here…I love this time of year and the potential cuffing that can come along with it. My biggest problem with the phrase of “cuffing season” is the expectation I see a lot of my friends put on trying to find the one during the fall season. 

It’s okay to have a fling or two in autumn and not be in a serious relationship when you and your family get together for the holidays. Although I’d like to get serious with someone and do some really basic stuff (like sit by a fire and have a Moscow mule) I’ve come to realization that it probably won’t happen and I can still have just as fun during this season being 100% single. Now if I could just get laid, that would be great. 

I got accidentally cuffed once. We had a great fling, amazing sex, and right around the beginning of the year, when she ended things, it seemed just about right. I had never even heard of cuffing season until she mentioned it too. I think it can be nice to have intimacy, cuddle in front of the fire, and have a plus one for the holiday parties, but don’t do it with someone you see as a long-term option. That’s just going to end badly.
