Summer, Summer, SummerTime! (And the Need for Summer Love)

Hey,

I look at the date and realize it is almost the end of May, which means one thing.. (drumroll) SUMMERTIME! And with the onset of summer, come the sandals, sarongs and swimsuits but also that of the Summer Love. It's on people's minds..ask Justin Timberlake, who even wrote a song about it. People look, feel and are sexier in the summer, mainly because of the lack of clothes. Im not sure what it is, really. I can remember hanging out with the fellas growing up, and watching them play "who can get the most numbers in an hour" game. I'd laugh (to myself, of course) because I knew that most of those girls weren't getting calls, and if they did, it was nothing serious. 

However, as we get older, I wonder...are those kind of games still being played? Except instead of the number, it's a one-night stand or a one-date stand. I'm always cautious of relationships formed in the summer, mainly because more people feel that they need a date to all the barbeques, picnics, beach outings, etc that happen during the summer. Also, since all these events happen, relationships are easier to maintain, because there is a lower expectation to 'go all out' to spend quality time together. But the heat also makes for more passion, not just in lovemaking and all the foreplay attached, but also in the relationship. Some say that because all this passion exists in such a short time, summer relationships tend to end when the season is over..burnt out, and requiring former lovers to heal and re-energize themselves over the fall and winter seasons, just to start the whole cycle over again that next summer. 

Thoughts?
