Single El Pasoans May Have Felt the Effects of Dating Sunday

Yesterday was known as "Dating Sunday," and if you saw more matches than normal on your dating apps, here's why. At the beginning of November every year, people discuss the beginning of "cuffing season," a time when people look for that special someone to cuddle up with during the cold winter months. Plenty of unhappy couples will stay together during the holidays just to not face awkward questions from family and friends about where their partners are.

After all the festivities are over, people have time to themselves to figure out if the person they're dating is really the right one for them.
