OrangeSnack Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Has anyone else notice that the trend to dating is like a seasonal cycle? For instance it's like the stock market. During the fall-winter times, stocks are typically volatile and during the spring and summer times, stocks tend to be bearish. Just like dating, I noticed (I surf on this site occasionally because you'll find some really nice and effective advices) this trend: Summer:sick: - LOTS and LOTS of breakups and heartbreaks out there My hypothesis: The sun is out and it's vacation time. We reflect and do things via vacation. We get to go out more and are more adventurous because mother nature is very kind to us during this time of the season. We worked our butts off during the spring to get into shape so we look the best when we are at the beach or out socializing. There are just so many options... You just don't know whether or not the love of your life is truly the love of your life. Fall:o:p;) - A well balance of broken hearts and dating/relationship development My hypothesis: Winter is around the corner. After your "summer" fling you reflect on yourself and you start realizing the end of the year is approaching. Your family and friends are pressuring you into bringing someone home this Thanksgiving or Christmas. You're just contemplating and dating around. Winter:cool: - LOTS and LOTS of dating and relationship hunting. Possibly people rekindling their relationships from the past. My hypothesis: It's time to get real. It's time to stop playing the dating game and get serious. You made your New Years resolution... so what are you waiting for? Your family and friends want to see your new girl or guy so they can give their 2cents. Additionally, the weather is chilly so you just want to cuddle with someone warm and bring out the affection in you! Spring:love: - (Not sure yet) but I am assuming there is a lot of dating going on because of post Valentines Day and lots of single people are more motivated. Furthermore, I think this is also the season where love is in the air. When I look back at the following years of my dating/breakups. I noticed my trend. My ex's had all ended our relationship during the beginning of summer or during summer. That was a time of "**** it lets go out cuz im single and lets mingle." Then fall comes around and you get the opportunity to meet a few wonderful candidates and you start to date around. Now winter rolls in I find myself attached to several women and now I have to make my choices. Candidate A or candidate B. We start getting serious and my family starts noticing the change. Once spring is around the corner, I decide to pop the 3 words: "I love you," and wish for the very best. I know others probably don't go through the same cycle as me but I noticed that on LS, breakup topics tend to happen a lot during the summer/fall. Winter/Spring I see a bunch of topics on sealing the deal and just more topics on dating. But again I think I am GENERALIZING a bit here. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with this cycle of dating trend? Or am I just delusional? Voices and opinions welcome! Edited December 11, 2013 by OrangeSnack
ShyGuy5 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Spot on, When it gets cold it's cuffing season
ShyGuy5 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 The reason is people are stuck inside during the colder times of the year and want someone to spend time with. When it is nice out, they can go outside and do many other things so why have someone to tie you down.
Dallers Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I am all year round single guy. In other words, I am very happy all year round.
