THE CUFFING SEASON FORECAST After 40

High chance of butterflies, possible smittening, and a few things I learned the hard way. Whatever happens-prepare, keep yourself in the forecast.

Well, darlings...it's that time of year when the temperatures drop, the heated blankets come out, and suddenly everybody's looking a little more attractive under mood lighting, lol. Everyone's bout tired from running the streets in the Summer where it was always something to do and now it's time to settle in. However, for those of us left behind in our 40's, this game can look a tad different than them HeyDay's.

I'm all for a little romance, the wink of a handsome plus one, and the possibility of finding somebody worth sharing the good stuff with aka **cue Stephanie Mills** The Comfort of a Man!! But after a few lessons of my own, I've been thinking about what happens when we get too smittened and accidentally start rearranging our lives around stranger who just got here. So next week, we're having a little conversation about cuffing season, dating in our 40s, and three things I'm no longer willing to put on pause just because the presence of a man caught my attention.

Part I drops Monday, Part II Wednesday, and Part III Friday. I'm giving each pour a little breathing room because, darling...some things need to be sipped, not gulped so I didn't wanna overwhelm yall with one big azz post ☕️
