Dating people who are always cold can be somewhat of a downer if not handled properly. As someone that is always cold, I’d like to give some insight from the perspective of the cold party.
Dating People Who are Always Cold
PROS:
- We always need body heat, therefore we are likely very cuddly humans.
- We love being in a warm environment. You’re not going to hear us complain about being active outside. Take us to the beach or on a sunny picnic–only if it’s over 82 degrees–otherwise forget it.
- We are easy to buy for. Check out all the gift ideas below.
- Lowered air conditioning costs.
- We like working out. Oh, you want me to get my blood flowing? Yes please. It’s a solid 30 minutes into cardio before I even break a sweat.
CONS:
- If you’re not into cuddling, you’re probably better off finding someone that isn’t always cold.
- If your dream is to live in a cold climate, find another polar bear like you. It’s probably not someone who is always freezing.
- While we might save on air conditioning costs, we are most likely guilty of racking up quite the heating bill with the thermostat set at 76 and all those glorious hot showers.
- Cold hands on your belly. Learn to find this endearing or jump ship early. It’s one of our survival instincts.
- Our fashion sense isn’t always the best. When your priority is warmth, often times style must be sacrificed.
The Hot-Cold Relationship
The ideal relationship is arguably between one hot and one cold person. Despite disagreements in what the thermostat setting should be, this difference in body temp makes for a great night of sleep. My boyfriend is a super cuddly sleeper and runs like 10 degrees hotter than the average human. Since I seem to be 10 degrees lower, when we sleep close together we both reach a comfy equilibrium. During the day I can always bundle up while he’s shirtless. Plus he’s always got the best gifts for me…
Gift Ideas for People Who Are Always Cold
Cold-Cold/Hot-Hot
I suppose if you’re both on the same page regarding core temperature, there would be less daytime stress but the night might be more difficult to get through as a couple–especially if you’re both hot. Cuddling while sweaty is a miserable experience and not conducive to catching quality z’s.
If you’re both cold, neither is going to want your cold hands on their body. Sheesh, when my hands are cold I don’t even want to put my own body lotion on. It’s awful to have corpse-like icy digits anywhere on your body. (Unless you’re burning up and find this comforting. Again, the cold-hot pairing works best.)
This cracked me up because I am that person that is always cold. Even in the summer, I wear long sleeves most of the time.
Those are great points. I am the kind of person who is always cold.
I hate the cold. In fact I’m always cold. Which is weird because I used to always run hot. Now I’m freezing because my S.O. is always turning the heat down!
I am one of those people who is always hot, so I have the air conditioner on all year. My family hates it! They would all love the heated throw! Genius idea!
haha I loves this one, I am that person who is always cold lol, my husband for the first months of living together he thought we are living in a sauna, I was keeping the house very hot for him. But I love your points, I never looked at it from a cons/pro perspective.
This is definitely my husband and I! I’m always freezing and he’s always hot. It’s kinda perfect actually. Although he just had surgery on his arm so I can’t really cuddle with him for 3 months. 🙁 Hopefully earlier then that though.
This is so great! Sending this to my SIL who is always cold and her boyfriend hot!
Ha I find these funny. I have a friend that is always cold. Even in Arizona.
My neice is always cold too! I am sure she would love this post and agree with them all!
Haha so funny yet so true! I’m always warm thankfully. Well at least most of the time. Sometimes it’s just too darn cold outside.
haha this is so true. My Mom is ALWAYS cold!
This is a post for me! When I was younger, I was the hot one. Now that I am older, I am the freezing ice cube!
LMBO! How funny! I haven’t dated anyone like this, but my mom is always cold. and i do mean always. LOL>
I loved this post. I am ALWAYS cold and my husband always asks me why it feels like a sauna in the house (he is hot natured). He has learned to adjust to my always cold ways. Just one more reason we are perfect lol
I’m the person who turns the air conditioner OFF in the summer. It drives my husband nuts when he comes home to a sweltering 85 degree house. LOL (It feels good to me!)
