\t\t\t\tThe passions of summer do burn hot when everything around you conspires to\u00a0ignite romance<\/a>, right down to your body\u2019s natural reaction to UV rays<\/a> and the exercise-induced endorphins<\/a> the season elicits. But, as warm as the days may continue to be as fall encroaches, when the first hint of autumn arrives, bringing its crisp relief from the heat, many summer love affairs have a tendency to cool off as well. Whether it\u2019s back to work or back to school at the end of summer vacation, when reality sets in, sometimes the charms of that partner who seemed such an appealing warm-weather companion at summer\u2019s onset have faded in the bright sunshine.<\/p>\n

Of course, some summer loves have the potential for developing into something deeper and more long-lasting, and even those couples who made it clear from the beginning there would be \u201cno strings attached\u201d find themselves more entangled in Cupid\u2019s web than they ever intended. The trick is to know whether or not your hot-weather hookup has \u201csummer fling\u201d written all over it, or if it might be the real deal. Here\u2019s an end-of-summer reality checklist to see if it\u2019s time to bid your paramour a fond adieu, or if there\u2019s a chance to take your relationship to a deeper level.<\/p>\n

Check Your Expiration Date<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of summer romances, both parties often make their intentions and expectations clear. If your romance was begun with an agreed-upon end in mind, then parting company may not be a problem, but if deeper emotions have taken hold, you might be able to take your romance into extra innings.<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Move Ahead<\/em><\/p>\n

If you and your summer love talk in terms of the future, there may be one for you. If the two of you are still planning events and adventures down the road, chances are, you may be destined to stay together.<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Say Goodbye<\/em><\/p>\n

If all your conversation centers on things that you\u2019ve already experienced, your affair has likely reached the \u201cbeen there, done that\u201d phase that signals the end is near. Likewise, if all that\u2019s on either of your minds are the things you\u2019ll be doing when you get back to your \u201creal life\u201d that don\u2019t include the other person, it\u2019s time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Check the Balance<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been cruising along all summer and having a great time, what happens when your partner has become more strongly attached to you than originally proposed? Or alternately, what are your options should you realize that you actually want more than a brief affair as the season draws to a close?<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Move Ahead<\/em><\/p>\n

If over the course of getting to know one another and spending time together, the feelings that have grown between the two of you are mutual, your love affair has a good chance of outlasting the warm weather. A partnership in which both parties wield equal power and have balanced desire is the best foundation upon which to build any long-term partnership.<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Say Goodbye<\/em><\/p>\n

On the other hand, if one partner badly wants to continue the relationship, while the other is just treading water until the next new love comes along, or is actually ready to call it quits, you must face the fact that your fling has run its course. Attempting to sustain a relationship in which one partner holds all the cards is never wise, and there\u2019s no point in throwing your love away on someone who doesn\u2019t return your emotional investment. Cut your losses and say goodbye.<\/p>\n

Check Your Interest Level<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a summer romance is new, we often find the object of our affections irresistible. But all too often, the rose-colored glasses through which we view love at first sight, especially when it comes to summer flings, will change hue to reveal a different perspective as the months wear on, and what\u2019s revealed will likely be the making or breaking of your summer romance.<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Move Ahead<\/em><\/p>\n

While you may have spent hours and hours with your summer love, the thought of spending more time together continues to fill you with joy and anticipation. The two of you have lots to say, but even the silence between you feels comfortable. The attraction you felt when you first met has blossomed into true passion, and if anything, the person becomes more beautiful to you with each passing day.<\/p>\n

Signs You Should Say Goodbye<\/em><\/p>\n

On the other hand, if familiarity has bred contempt in a relationship, the summer fling is over. If your partner bores you, annoys you, or if their less-than-favorable traits now outweigh the attractive ones that first brought you together, it\u2019s clearly time to say goodbye.<\/p>\n

For those who are lucky enough to have a summer love that\u2019s still in full sail at the end of the season, continue to enjoy your journey together. For those for whom the romance must end, however, remember: it\u2019s always best to let your soon-to-be-ex summer love down as nicely as you can. After all, cruelty and good karma are not a good mix, and you\u2019ll want karma on your side as you get back to the \u201creal world\u201d and consider your next romantic pursuit.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t decide whether your warm-weather affair will make it past summer\u2019s end? Let a KEEN love advisor<\/a> help get you a more accurate forecast.<\/em>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
