As the annual tradition of pre-holidays “cuffing season” begins, “I’m finding people in my generation don’t even know what that is. I’m trying to explain it to them,” she says of the dating trend.

It’s turtlenecks and quality sweaters, buying decorative gourds for an evening dinner party and coupling up for cuffing season, if not longer term.

These circumstances gave birth to “cuffing season,” a social phenomenon in which single people look for short-term partnerships — aka a fling or someone to “Netflix-and-chill” with — to wait out the year’s colder months.

I’d also say that while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a short-term fling to keep you company a few nights a week when it’s cold outside, I would gently encourage singles, especially young people, to resist the urge to subscribe to “cuffing season.”

It's called cuffing season for a reason.
