Mistakes people make when recruiting from cuffing season..
1.Not setting boundaries
Know what it is before you get knee-deep in
it. Know what you're willing to do and not
willing to do when it comes to sexual favors,
paying on dates and whether you should
mention your " situationship" to family and
friends. Cuffing season is about making it
through the frigid winter cold by keeping your
cuff life lit. You don't want to get burned
because you didn't go into it with some kind
of understanding. Having a clear
understanding from the get-go will save you
a lot of long-winded conversations come
February.
2.Not taking care of yourself first
Know your status, and know your potential
bae's status. Protection is important .
Choosin' up too soon
Don't make the mistake of letting charm and
a nice smile keep you from exploring your
options. Just know, after homecoming it's
time to narrow in on those few
strong contenders.
3.Long distance cuffing
That thing you had going on with your
ex back home? Forget about it. Honestly, a
long distance cuff is laughable when the
temperatures drop below 45 degrees. Like,
who's giving massages and booty rubs from
1,000 miles away? That's right, no one.
4.Choosing someone that lives too
close
It's like deciding to date someone you work
with, it's not a good look. You want your
space when it's time to be alone and miss
that other person. Also, you don't want it to
be awkward if you don't text this person back
and then you run into them taking out
the trash or something. Or worse, cuffing
season comes to a close and you seem to
bump into each other all the time . Just avoid
it altogether.
5.Choosing someone from your
immediate circle of friends
This is almost never a good idea, especially
if all your other friends are aware of it. It
makes things awkward amongst the whole
group if things end badly.
6.Cuffing someone who can't cook
You shouldn't be the only one in the kitchen!
Find you someone who's willing to bring you
breakfast in bed, knows how to make a
decent sandwich, or at least owns a grill.
Netflix and chill? More like, feed me and
chill.
7.Making permanent moves for your
temporary bae
This means making any legally binding
decisions, whatever they might be. Don't list
this person as your emergency contact and
don't call this person if you need a shoulder
to cry on. It might sound harsh, but it's in
your best interest not to get to emotionally
invested lest you know you it's real.
8.Someone who doesn't have
anything in common with you
What if you plan on cuddling on Sundays and
they're really into football? Or if you're really
into protecting your energy and your
partner has no idea what a chakra is? Really
think about it, this is someone you could be
snowed in with for days. Find someone with
somewhat similar interests that you can
actually hold a conversation with.
