LET ME TEACH YOU ABOUT "CUFFIN' SEASON"!!!

Summer is officially over and that means everybody is tying to find someone to settle down with for the cold months -- better known as Cuffin' Season. Ladies, Here are five things you need to know to help you understand and interact efficiently during this time of year:

Cuffiin' Season lasts only from Labor Day until the 3rd Wednesday of November, is suspended until February 15th, and ends the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. Since this is only about having a guaranteed win on a cold night, there's no reason he needs to meet family or exchange gifts for Christmas.

You might think he's your man, but he ain't your man. No titles, please! He doesn't want to meet your mother or be invited to couples night. He just wants to spend time with you whenever he's available.

Don't buy him anything and don't expect anything. Since he probably doesn't take you anywhere, don't take him anywhere. No gifts, no loans, no lingerie, nothing. Just enjoy it for what it is.

It's not an exclusive arrangement. Treat your winter boo like base -- there's nothing wrong with seeing what else is popping on the playground.

You're probably not the girl of his dreams. When a man meets the girl of his dreams, he doesn't let her go. If you get hit with "I really like you and I think we have a great future together, but the timing isn't right..." then you have fallen victim to Cuffin' Season.
