Cuffing season is the time of year when people who might normally enjoy being single suddenly want a relationship or at least someone to spend the colder, more social months with.

🍂 When is cuffing season?

It typically starts around September/October, peaks around November through January, and starts winding down around February/March.

Hmmm, but why cuffing season can be unhealthy?
While having a partner can feel comforting, entering a relationship to avoid loneliness can be risky.
You don't need a romantic partner to make it through winter. If you're uncomfortable getting involved in a relationship with an expiration date, don't.
Invest time in nourishing relationships that stimulate you and bring you joy.

The unofficial timeline:

* September–October: “Maybe I should start dating…”
* November–December: Holiday parties, colder weather, wanting a plus-one → prime cuffing season
* January: New Year’s resolutions + “I’m ready for a relationship”
* February: Valentine’s Day intensifies it
* March: While some "cuffed" relationships successfully transition into long-term partnerships, many are built purely for winter convenience and naturally dissolve when spring arrives.

ABOUT LAST NIGHT… 🔥
The Business Social Hour at RED Steakhouse | Downtown Cleveland | Eton Rooftop was an absolute success!

Every industry you could imagine was in the room — entrepreneurs, real estate, builders, designers, finance, healthcare, marketing, hospitality, and so many more. Different industries, different backgrounds, but one thing in common: people looking to connect.

And then there was David Lee. 🎩✨
He brought the MAGIC and had the entire rooftop saying…
“HOW DID HE DO THAT?!!!” 🤯

From incredible conversations to unexpected connections and a little mind-blowing entertainment, the night was electric from start to finish.

This is exactly why we created The Real Collective — to bring people together in real life.

No awkward networking.
No forced conversations.
Just good people, great energy, and real connections.

Cleveland, you showed up. And you understood the assignment. ❤️

More events, more connections coming soon!
