Do any of you who live in 4 season climates have more success dating during certain seasons of year as opposed to others (ex-- summer/fall as opposed to winter?). Or is the time of the year not a factor for you?

Spring/summer for me, But not even much in recent years unfortunately. Being out and about more allows more socializing and opportunity to meet. Though here in NY winter never really made an appearance

What is common in my city is to find someone to hibernate with during the winter. The 'dates' consist of spending time at each other's apartment.

I don't know about success because I don't know what constitutes a "success". Are you asking if you tend to enter into relationships easier a certain time of year? Or are you wondering when it's easier to get first dates? I would argue a success would be some of the deceitful and shady women that I ended up dodging and walking away from rather then ending up with them and costing me stress/pain/money/time...

I will say this, dating is easier in terms of fun ideas for dates during the summer. There's much more you can do outside which makes for more events, cheaper dates, more intimate/alone time without having to be at one of your homes. Winter is tougher, not as many options of things to do, sometimes too cold to walk her home and give her the goodnight kiss, etc.

I have no problems, and think winter dates are fun. Skiing, ice skating, cuddling in a hot tub, drinking wine at home...

This discussion topic reminds me about the idea of how some animals have courtship or mating seasons at particular times of year... lol.

Yeah definitly. In the Winter me and my dates/girlfreinds/fiance etc tended to stay in more because of the weather, so I usually spent less money.

Summer time we're always doing something out on the weekends, so I ended spending a lot more money on restaurants, tickets etc etc.

Living in 4 seasons is nice because I can blame the winter for not getting dates, then blame the spring for too much rain, summer for too much heat and the fall because i'm waiting for winter to come around

I guess it depends on what you consider success, and what your looking for.

I think for meeting people out, it is easier in the summer. Far more outdoor activities in the summer, and people tend to go out more instead of staying home.

That said, I see no problem dating in the winter either. Options can be a little more limited for activities, and some people are home hibernating. However, there is still plenty to do.

They have their advantages. Summers and spring you can go to the beach and your date wears less clothes.

Winter they are cold and you can offer for them to come inside and "warm Up"

The first objective is to isolate the girl, the second is to get her alone in your apartment/home. Thanks winter!
