Keeping Your Relationship Alive Past Cuffing Season

Cuffing Season relationships are notorious for being short-lived. You may be wondering, “What is Cuffing Season?” Think holiday romances that begin in October and fizzle out by March. Over the years, this season has gained a reputation for no-strings-attached relationships, but what if you want your Cuffing Season fling to stick around after the snow melts?  Keep reading to learn how you can erase the stigma and build a Cuffing Season relationship that surpasses the stigma.

Communication is key

A long-lasting, healthy relationship requires open lines of communication.  If you want a long-term commitment, you need to have long-term conversations.  Both of you being upfront and honest from the beginning leaves little room for confusion in the future.   Continuous, effective communication also helps you get to know one another on more than just a physical level.  This is not to say you will never disagree or have an argument, but establishing a strong foundation of communication in the early stages of your relationship will encourage you both to come up with a solution rather than just calling it quits.

It’s the little things

You may have heard the phrase, “it’s the little things that matter most,” this especially rings true in a relationship.  You may not realize it, but something you find to be simple can truly make a person smile like they never have before. Small gestures also make your significant other feel good and show them that your feelings go deeper than the surface.  Something as simple as sending them flowers or cooking their favorite meal can make all the difference in the world.  These acts of kindness prove that you’re in it for a long time and not just a good time!

Take care of yourself

If you want to maintain a relationship, you also have to maintain yourself!  You and your partner should practice self-care and encourage each other to be your best selves.  Because Cuffing Season begins when the weather is getting colder, it’s especially important to pay attention to your body.  Colder temperatures can trigger cold sores, in which case you want to seek treatment such as valacyclovir so there’s no interruptions when it comes to your Netflix and Chill time.  You may also want to consider encouraging each other in physical activities such as joining a gym or playing a recreational sport.  This is a great opportunity for you to spend time with each other and also for your friend groups to meet!

Remember to have fun during Cuffing Season

The most important thing to remember when entering into any relationship is having fun.  There’s a time and place for seriousness, but keep in mind that being silly and playful is okay too.  After all, this is your love life, not a death sentence! Taking things too seriously all the time may be a turn off for your significant other.  Be yourself and allow yourself to relax a little bit, especially in the early stages of your relationship. If your potential mate sees that you’re able to let your hair down, they will feel comfortable doing the same! When times get tough, which is bound to happen eventually, keep in mind that laughter is the best medicine and it can help you get through just about anything!  

While these bits of advice are not the only ways to ensure your relationship will last past Cuffing Season, with the right mindset and some patience they will certainly help you build a strong bond with the person you’d like to build a future with.
