You know, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that cuffing season tends to occur during the most holiday, family filled times of the year. Every month brings a new test of where you are – or aren’t – in your situation with the person you’re cuffing.

Such as.

Thanksgiving and Christmas.

What a nerve-wracking time; turkey gizzards and jingle bells indeed. I mean, do you get this new person a Christmas present? Probably.  It’s no sweat off your back to get somebody a small token of your appreciation or affection. Plus, it’s the thought that counts, says the fortune cookie. So, while you may be losing sleep over gifts you know you’re going to get them something so it’s a self-imposed hell that cools down once you hit “submit order” on Amazon. Chill out. That’s a pun.

Pump your brakes. Maybe you are. Maybe you aren’t. Maybe it’s still too soon. And in the world of Logic Over Emotion, you may realize that while you do like this person, it really isn’t the right time yet.
