It’s that time of year again. The term is drawing to a close and you find your mind playing at the possibility of finding that “special” someone to keep you warm at night. Perhaps you’re just a naturally cold person and the excessive blankets just aren’t cutting it anymore. Maybe the idea of being alone on New Year’s Eve is just plain unimaginable.
Look, I get you, the fact that we can’t hibernate kind of sucks and an infinite supply of hugs and affection during the gloomy winter days would be ideal. But is it worth forcing yourself to dive into the sea of Tinder, where ghosting becomes an art form and the creepy guy train never seems to stop? There is the mild possibility that the next love of your life will come swiping right for more. However, the gloom and doom of December isn’t worth pressuring your heart into something it may not want.
the best cure for the relationship winter blues are your friends
I’ll be sappy and say that the best cure for the relationship winter blues are your friends. Group cuddling provides more warmth and you have a varied choice of already spectacular human beans. If you find yourself dissatisfied with the heating properties of your Winter Boo, then you may find it difficult to find a returns department for your temporary human pillow. Worst part? They have feelings. What if they don’t understand your banter? And don’t forget the shaving. During winter. Do you really want to stand in the under-heated bathroom of your student house forcing your already overly dry skin into even more trauma?
So drop the phone. Let them come to you, for if they see how amazing you are in person, with no underlying pressure whatsoever, chances are they’ll be rushing to fall head over heels for the amazing person you are.
