Cuffing season: the annual scramble to "cuff" yourself to a partner before the cold, dark, holiday-heavy months hit solo. You buy your Halloween costume in September. You start holiday shopping before Thanksgiving. So why wait until October's group-chat panic to think about this? Nearly half of all engagements happen between November and February, exactly when daters get serious.
In our latest Cheeky Thoughts, we break down exactly when cuffing season starts (hint: not when fall does) and why the early movers come out ahead.

The equinox says fall starts September 22nd. The group chats say cuffing season starts whenever the first "so are we doing anything for the holidays" text lands.
Either way, the window's opening. And the smart move has always been arriving a little early, coat already on, while everyone else is still debating whether it's actually cold enough to justify any of this yet.
