Ah, December—a time for hot cocoa, holiday cheer, and… dangerously fleeting romances? Enter the trend of “snowmanning,” where lovebirds find warmth in each other’s arms only for the chemistry to melt away once the holiday lights are dimmed. After some bubbly celebrations, many are retreating faster than you can say “New Year’s resolutions.” As it turns out, this sweet indulgence could come with some bitter aftereffects—not only heartaches but also health risks like STIs. Talk about leaving a lasting impression!
Dating experts at eHarmony are raising the alarm about this frosty trend, revealing that people often vanish from their partners’ lives as quickly as the snow melts in spring. But there’s a twist—General Practitioner Dr. Crystal Wyllie highlights that not swapping phone numbers can lead to serious complications when it comes to health warnings. You could be forced to send a “Hey, remember me? I think we might need to talk,” message, which is definitely not the ideal post-holiday catch-up chat.
This isn’t the only bizarre winter dating trend making waves; there’s also “sledging,” where someone drags you through the holidays only to plan a breakup in January, and “winter coating,” which suggests rekindling past flings like an old jacket. With so many players on the field, it’s almost like a game of romantic hide-and-seek—heartwarming until you consider the consequences. So the next time you’re swept into a holiday fling, remember to keep your heart and your health in check. After all, what’s the point of a midnight kiss if it comes with extra baggage?
