The joke about cuffing season — which isn’t really a joke — is that men will snatch you up in September, dump you before Christmas, get back with you after the New Year, and then break up with you completely by Valentine’s Day. It’s a cycle many women try to avoid, but there’s no denying the holidays can make life awkward when you’re in a new dating situation.

Communication is critical to avoid hurt feelings this time of year and in this episode of Listen to Black Women we’re breaking down how to do it the right way.
