It’s cuffing season!
As the evenings are drawing in, we are entering what's known as 'cuffing season', so called because it describes the desire to be 'tied down' (or 'cuffed') that often arises in the colder months.
It's the time of year when people have stopped going out quite so much and are staying indoors snuggled by the fire... alone. Cue a last-ditch attempt by singletons to find a romantic partner for the winter.
Cuffing Season officially starts in September when the weather starts to change, but it's around now that people will be putting more effort in, in order to be coupled up for the colder months.
Shorter days can exacerbate feelings of loneliness, as well as the looming festivities of the Christmas and New Year period. It definitely is the worst time of year to be single, missing out on lots of cosy couples' activities and romantic dates.
Just be careful of people saying they're specifically looking for someone to snuggle up to this winter or specifying anything similar as this could mean that they aren't looking for anything serious or long term. Often these relationships are over by the spring, as people want to be single in time for the summer.
Whether you are just looking for something for the winter months, or want something more long term, now is the time of year to give Chat2Date a go and chat to singles from all over the UK either on our great chat line or if you prefer to message then try our fantastic mobile dating.
