What is it about summer that ramps up our sex drives? Is it the extra spare time, the longer days, the unstoppable partying, or all of the above? One thing I especially connect with summer is the summer fling. Don’t tell me I’m the only one experiencing this either. I’ve got Sandy and Danny on my side.
For the past few summers, I have successfully managed to get into a mini relationship only to bring it to an end by the time February or March comes. The worst thing is, they are always really nice guys and don’t really deserve to be dropped when summer is over – totally a chance thing – not because I have a rule that I can’t date anyone once the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler.
Why does this happen though? Is it because we are more social in summer, and we spend more time with each other than you would during say, winter? All this extra seeing each other causes the relationship speed to increase dramatically, and we all know moving fast into a relationship is probably going to cause an undesired outcome. It’s like the relationship runs its lifetime at a mega pace, only to come crashing to an end prematurely.
When I wrote this, I found myself in another possible summer fling. Very nice guy, smart, attractive, mega huge dick and fucking AMAZING sex. I actually thought it could turn into a “real” relationship too, but in the back of my mind I couldn’t help but think that it was going to be another dead end – just like every summer relationship.
Now I feel like I’m going to come across this problem every year. That anything I start in summer is only going to be a summer fling. It seems I’m not the only person who loves a good summer fling or romance either.
Recently I read that “January is the most popular month for break-ups with a survey showing 40 per cent of relationships are on shaky ground”. I think it’s safe to blame summer flings for this too, right? I sure can. One of my friends is having an affair with a taken woman as I write!
Now, just because I’m pretty much blaming summer for people cheating, it doesn’t mean you can go out there and do it next time the season comes round. God – no wonder there was so much drama in the continuous summer set of the OC!
The most embarrassing part is telling people that you might be going into a relationship, only to have them ask you about it weeks later for you to admit failure.
But hey – summer flings are certainly fun while they last, aren’t they!

For me it’s the heat, the skimpier clothing and sweat glistening on tanned arms… woah, talk about fighting temptations!
As much as I find the summer fling part true. I also believe that Winter is for “settling”. Going out less, snuggles in bed, on the couch. Lazy days inside ’cause there’s not a lot else to do. Perhaps I’m being facecious, though I’m sure you understand what im going on about
Yes, I’ve also heard about this… and all I can add is – bring on Winter!!
