Urban Thought | 9 Observations Something has been weighing on my mind all week.
I’ve been getting random phone calls from people about break-ups that will or have happen. It’s crazy when it all happens at once but this trend isn’t new. This usually happens this time of year and I think I’m going to call it exactly what it is…
Jump-Off Season.
Yeah, that’s what it is.
You had someone you could cuddle up with all winter and that was great, for what it was. But now that the weather is getting warm you want to let go of that person and get with something new… Actually, many new things may be in your path because you’re a greedy whore and you want to fill your little black book with as many numbers as possible.
OK. OK. This may be a stretch. Perhaps your relationship has been tarnished and it isn’t returning to its original luster. So, you end it. But isn’t the timing so perfect? You no longer have to stand outside a club in the cold to find a new warm body.
Within the next few months people are going to be walking around practically naked. The sidewalk cafés will be bustling with people and everyone will be out and about on the prowl. If you live in a big city such as New York the possibilities are endless. There will be plenty of activities to engross yourself in and an abundance of opportunities out there that may result in you finding someone new to lay your head with for the coming winter.
But why talk about winter when we haven’t even gotten past spring.

spring fever….always makes people just a little more ‘randy’ than usual
twitterpated, i beleive is the term
Spring just makes you feel you can do better. While cleaning house, you have to clean all areas of your life up too.
Summer lust will soon be here my friend. Spring time is the awakening of the beast.
Hey shoot me an email. I’m hopinh you can join Meleah and I in the city on an upcoming weekend.
Please shoot Ricardo an email! I know Meleah missed out on his last visit to The City and then maybe I can get some scoop on what-all you look like! Hehehe! Not that any photos would be taken w/out your permission I am sure!
I love the graphic you chose for the post, very apropos and very “NEXT!”
Besides the “warm body for the winter” and then “Fresh new start for Spring” people do feel more ready for new things in the spring. Like Sharon wrote about “spring cleaning.”
I can’t even recall the various times I have been dumped or done any dumping. I don’t think I’ve had any coincidences either way. But the Fall seems to be the time of year when changes happen to me.
I haven’t been around a bunch of dating folk so I have no idea of the trend you’re experiencing. It makes we wonder at the age range, too! I would guess people in their 20s are more apt to play musical partners and that’s only because I dated more in my 20s that I do now and had no idea of what I wanted or what was good for me. But how else to figure things out?
Great post!
Raw: I’ve taken the liberty of checking out the site. Great work you have their. I’ll be sure to talk to the other folk at Urban Observation to put up a link.
Meleah: Spring Fever… You’re right. I think that name fits more with the minds of the people.
Kevin: Twitterpated? Hmmm…
Sharon: True.
Ricardo: I’ll be sure to shoot you an e-mail.
Ms. Q: Both Ricardo and Meleah have pictures on their pages. Hmmmm… Could it be you’re trying to get the scoop on me? LOL.
I would agree that young people think that way. You aren’t too far from the 20’s concept of dating around. However, I do no people in their 30’s and 40’s who do the same thing. Times are hard in the Big City.
Indeed, dating is the only way to find out what you want or don’t want. More on that later.
I wanna see you too!
