the leaves are changing, the air is starting to get colder, & cuffing szn is officially upon us. there’s something about fall that makes us all obsessed with warm sweaters, pumpkin spice, and being in a relationship. as someone who has been ‘cuffed’ during every cuffing season since the 6th grade, this year is a nice change. for once, i can look at this annual ritual from an outsider’s perspective.
guys and girls will slide into dms, hoping to find someone they can take on those romantic fall dates. but i can’t help but wonder if the desire to do things that are #relationshipgoals is more important than who they do them with. will these relationships last in the long run, or are we just settling for someone who wants to be cuffed as much as we do?
don’t get me wrong. if you know that you’re just looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend for the season, more power to ya. just make sure you let the other person know. personally,i won’t settle, no matter how lonely i get. i have never knowingly gone into a relationship thinking it’s temporary, but my feelings aren’t always 100% clear. if i sense that there is hesitation on either person’s side… bye felicia!
as cuffing season is in full swing, try to be aware of what you want. make sure that if you want someone for the short term, that the other person wants the same. if you’re in it for the long haul, try not to settle. it’s a romantic time of year, and happy, new couples are springing up everywhere. some will last well beyond the season, others won’t be as lucky. so, good luck, have fun, & happy cuffing!
