BEWARE: Fall Cling Cometh
Well BigGirlz it’s that time of year again where frosty mornings and chilly evening remind folks that winter is on the way. It also reminds the single that now is the time to find a warm body to nestle with for the winter thus, Fall Cling.
Now let me back track a little for those who are unfamiliar
with the “cycle”. The cycle is the mating/dating phase started by men (but
perfected by women). Sorry guys, it’s a given if you create something, a
woman will ALWAYS find a way to improve or perfect it. Lol...deal with it! This cycle which begins with Fall Cling and
ends around March or April with Spring Release is a known tactic used by what I
will refer to as a “Clinger” to get thru the lonely cold winter months. Now
you may say “Why Not? What’s wrong with a little companionship to get you thru
those long cold winter nights?” Absolutely nothing as long
as you know going in what’s the real deal.
Roll with it. Just keep your head and don’t get all caught up.
Now for those BigGirlz who are unsure if that is what is
currently happening in your world, here are a few signs to keep
in your back pocket.
1.
NOTICE: As mentioned earlier, when the air begins to
chill the thought of companionship seems to move to the forefront of
thought. So the search begins to find
someone you can deal with or at least someone willing to warm the body, like a good cognac, for
about 6 to 8 months. With that, the
phone begins to ring a little more than usual. The opposite sex seems to be a
bit more attentive to your every move. That same person whose path you cross on
a regular basis not only says “Good Morning” but now wants to hold a
conversation with you. That is a sign of Fall Cling.
So you say “what the hell” and go with it. Once again keep in mind what you may be
getting into. The two of you talk and before you know it a relationship (and I
use the term loosely) seems to bud.
2.
CAUTION: Things begin
to progress and all is fine. By now, you’re
on your way to the holidays. You may even meet a few family members and friends
on the way. That is normal progression/concealment. This is experienced Clinger
behavior. You will be lulled into thinking things are good between the two of
you.
3.
WARNING: This is where you separate the inexperienced
from the experienced Clinger. It’s
Christmas. Both types of Clingers if smart and most of them are, will give you
an appropriate gift. Not too sentimental but given with thought. Now, here is
the difference between the two. The
experienced Clinger will take you to the major family or friend holiday
gathering. Note you will be introduced but as his “friend”, not girlfriend just
friend. Don’t be offended; remember you were warned from the beginning. The
inexperienced Clinger will tell you about the function and down play it by
saying things like, “yeah, I’ll probably stop by just to say hi on my way to be
with you” or “I have to make an appearance so they won’t trip and then I’ll
head your way”. You get what I’m saying… You will not be attending this little soiree; you're not invited.
4.
BEWARE: New Year’s Eve.
Truly a laughable moment; the inexperienced will spend the time with you
thru midnight but meet his/her crew afterwards.
The experienced Clinger will take you out. Nothing extravagant
but a relatively pleasant evening. In your gut, something doesn’t feel quite
right. Don’t shrug it off. Trust it is
the beginning of the end.
5.
EXPLOSION: End of January beginning of February, you
will notice little tiffs and arguments begin to escalate with an annoyance
factor starting to fester. And then
Valentine’s Day hits like a brick. The gift, if you receive one SUCKS! There’s
the big blow out fight that was planned since day one. Operation Spring Release
is right on track.
And what happens next, you both decide to give each other some space. As a general rule you continue talk a little but not very much. Just enough contact in case there is another harsh cold snap. LOL! Then before you realize it winter is over and spring is starting to peek thru the dreary sky.
6.
DONE DEAL: Talks
have ended and you both have gone your separate ways. WTH... Spring Release has
arrived. You have been relieved of all duties in the Clinger's life.
If you have a sexy BigGirlz swagger and got it going on, be ye warned you are a target. Flirt and flip the table. Remember you can control this and use it to your benefit. As for me, screw Fall Cling, I'm too busy to play this year!
I'm moving on to the next one with a big ass bottle of Courvoisier and an electric blanket!!! LMAO...
