Relationship Season

Last Friday(Feb 15) marked the beginning of "Relationship Season". Now you're thinking one of two things:

"Relationships are for suckers" (The man does have a valid point)


"Whats 'Relationship Season'?" (I expected as much)


Relationship Season is the only time of year that you suckers who must have relationships should have active relationships. The season begins on February 15 and runs through October 30. Anytime during this period it is tolerable to have an active relationship.

You're probably thinking, "What makes this time of year so special? Do women nag less during this time?" (That's hilarious)

This is the time of year that does not have a relationship holiday. What I mean by that is you aren't expected to take your girl to the river on memorial day. (Why bring sand to the beach?) Same is true for Independence Day and Labor Day. None of these holidays bring with them the expectation of doing something with your special gal. Thus if you must have a relationship this is the best time to have one.

Now there are obviously some of you who have questions about the off season, which is actually the time of year where its game on. Now some of you are thinking that the October 30 cutoff seems early, since Veteran's Day is not a relationship holiday. There are three great reasons for the season ending when it does:

1. If you plan on resuming the relationship when the season starts up again, she's more likely to figure it out if you keep dumping her the week before Thanksgiving. (even though she's dumb enough to take you back in February.)

2. Girls let out their inner skank on Halloween like no other. Well maybe New Year's Eve, but you'd take Christmas twice a year if you could right? You guys who care enough to have a relationship will want to be single when the girls start acting skanky, especially if you go for the kind who dig the "my girlfriend left me yesterday" type.

3. If you do not plan on breaking off the relationship when the season ends you certainly don't want to start one so close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. You're only dooming yourself to the inevitable akwardness of to invite to dinner and what to buy them. And you're the biggest sucker on earth. (yes, you're all tied for biggest)

So for you relationship types, enjoy your season opener, the rest of us will keep on pimpin.
