It's my experience (which could very well be worth nothing) that there are seasonal patterns to dating.
1) Spring cleaning. The winter is over, you can finally come out of your little nest of singleton. You can wear floral, colors, nice little sweaters and jackets replace down-blankets-with-arms. Flirting becomes more fun and it's less of a chore to leave your bed/Netflix instant watch. Dates can be walks in the park and beer gardens in Queens.
2) Summer flings. Travel, summer vacations, three-month internships, and really anything that takes up your June, July and August will mix things up. You're confronted with a new bunch of people for a limited amount of time. Love is in the air. Like Sandy and Danny with their summer lovin', people pair off like there's no tomorrow. Come the fall, people have to get back to life/school/responsibility and the expiration date has come.
3) Bed warmers. Come late fall, people realize it's time to SHACK UP otherwise they will have to depend on their Snuggie(s) to keep them warm throughout winter. People relationship up, snuggle up, drink hot chocolate and go sledding and camp out under blankets until it is safe to come out.
However, I managed to miss this third deadline. So the pickings have been slim. Can't wait for longer days when all the bed warmers become my spring cleaning!
Stay tuned.
And here is a graph my brother sent me (courtesy of www.digitaltrends.com) of when couples are more likely to end their relationships via Facebook.
On a tangential note: I love how people tend to change their relationship status' on a Monday (after probably breaking up over the weekend and actually getting around to changing it on that Monday).
