Around this time last year, it was beginning to look at lot like cuffing season. But considering we're in the midst of a global pandemic, I have a feeling cuffing season 2020 is going to look a little bit different. Colder weather is on its way, which means dating during the pandemic is going to get even trickier. Hiking, biking, and outdoor dining dates won't seem quite as fun when the temps drop, and not everyone is comfortable taking date night indoors. If you're looking for a boo, then these tweets about dating during the pandemic and cuffing season will have you relating hard.

Winter is coming, but that doesn't mean you have to stop dating. You can always go on virtual dates via FaceTime or Zoom, and you can still enjoy an outdoor date if you're brave enough to face the elements. However, I'm afraid you'll have to bid adieu to those park picnics and beach dates. The time for outdoor dates is a-ticking, and some people who are looking to find a boo before the winter holidays are def feeling the pressure. If you're hoping to land a snuggle buddy (or a friend with benefits) before the cold weather hits, then here are some people who get your struggle.
