We are one unique generation.

We make mistakes and at times think the most ridiculous things are meaningful.

We laugh when we should cry, smile when we are sad and for some odd reason, we look for relationships more frequently during the colder months.

It is getting to that time of year where we are trying to settle down and spend some one-on-one time with a special person.

It seems hard to find that special someone, but mid-terms are over, football season will end soon and it’s going to get so cold that you are not going to want to party at the Wayside when you could instead be drinking hot chocolate with your potential soul mate.

After several conversations and spending a little one-on-one time with the guys in my life, I narrowed my options down to one person.

This guy and I have been seeing each other for about six months and we are perfectly content with our current situation.

Just having someone I could show respect and get that same respect in return was enough and I didn’t need the relationship title.

We have a mutual understanding and plan on just letting things happen. But we both are getting everything that we would expect if we were a couple.

If you ask me, that is the best thing to do after narrowing down your starting five.

There’s no point in trying to jump into a serious relationship the second you give up your player’s card.

You can take things slow and still enjoy being that special person in each other’s lives.

There is no reason to complicate things when you can, as some say, let destiny take full control of what happens in your love life.

Having a special person in the beginning rather than a committed partner gives both parties a chance to just be themselves.

When you start adding titles, things tense up and it does not leave room for both people to remain friends if the relationship does not work.

Remaining friends with the person you see yourself with gives you time to develop sincere bonds while not rushing your emotions.

For those who are looking for someone to snuggle up with, don’t look too hard.

That person you may end up sitting in front of the fire with may be right up under your nose.
