Cuffing season has gained quite the reputation for temporary love and of course, cuddles. But feeling temporary can trigger a disaster. To curb the chaos, Dr. Hill, an award-winning psychologist specializing in sexual psychology, has a few words.

When speaking with us here at Hypebae, she revealed that enjoying temporary love can be enjoyable if you allow it to be. As a consultant for the dating appCougar Life, she has her fair share of expertise in unconventional dating styles and the latest tea is piping hot.

According to her, there’s one clear method for finding out if you’re their right now fling, or forever thing. She revealed, “Talking about things in the perpetual present is the biggest sign that someone has no plans to stick around after cuffing season.”

For a more in-depth breakdown, keep reading:

1. If your partner doesn’t make plans with you for the future, or talks about a lot of future plans that do not include you,

2. Doesn’t introduce you to friends, family or coworkers and doesn’t even talk about plans to introduce you

3. Doesn’t make space for you in their life, you can take that as a sign that your partner is with you right now, but doesn’t necessarily have plans that extend much beyond that.

If your interest is piqued, stay tuned to our Instagram for more cuffing season content.
