Cuffing season typically starts in mid-October and ends after Valentine’s Day .

Dating app Bumble told Mashable that this time of year sees an influx of users logging in and swiping to find a match.

This need to couple up and find a mate in the colder months comes down to a drop in serotonin levels.

Cuffing season is a time of year where we collectively focus on the expectations, rather than staying focused on the connection with the individual.

Sociological researcher Caitlin Begg believes that the excessive way we connect now has put our dating timelines in reverse.

Begg’s research from Bumble.com reveals that many people are now embracing a "Consciously" mindset when it comes to dating.

Nobody will see you as "less than" if you rock up to the pub solo for festive drinks.

Your friends who are coupled up and in love aren’t showing off, they’re just happy.

Don't let the green-eyed monster or fear of being alone lead you down the path of forced connections.
