In fact, there’s an actual term for this time of year: cuffing season.

Since its conception in 2011, cuffing season has paved the way for more relationship trends and terms.

Are you tempted to hit your ex up during cuffing season?

Ex’s come and go… and sometimes come back again.

Introducing: winter coating.

Remember the one?"

“The one who you’re like, ‘Oh God, alright, I’ll just call him.

It’s winter time.’

The downside to this trend?

Once the snow melts and the birds begin to sing, that old flame is dumped again.

Before going back to an ex, ask yourself: why did it not work out the first time?

Then decide if you’re willing to take that chance again.

So, if you plan on winter coating someone, be honest with your intentions.
