How Cold Weather Helps Feelings of Romance Grow

Discover how dropping temperatures and cozy winter nights bring couples closer together.

It seems deeply ingrained in our psyche. As soon as it gets cold, people start inching closer to each other. The excuse is perfectly understandable, as feet start seeking warmth and people start asking each other to come here, but what it really means is that cold weather helps people fall in love. It provides the perfect excuse to be together and the excuse soon becomes a habit and the habit soon becomes love.

If you look up romantic quotes or captions on the internet in December, chances are you will see variations of the exact same theme resurface dozens of times: I want someone to snuggle with, not someone to be with in warm weather. This happens in captions, in unsourced quotations posted for all the world to see, in little unsigned poems written at 2AM about a specific person. It may be phrased differently, but the meaning always stays the same: I don't want someone to enjoy the good parts of life with, I want someone to be cold with

Warmth in all its forms was never something that had to do with temperature, it was always about who was sitting beside you when the room got cold

The Cabin That Comes to Mind When We Think About Romance

The universal dream of a winter escape: a simple one-room cabin keeping the cold world at bay.

Ask a person to imagine the most romantic place in the world, and the chances are that they will describe a cabin. Maybe it's a five star resort, but more often than not, it's a simple cabin tucked up in the hills and half-buried in snow until the evening, one window glowing with warm light against the deep blue of the night. There's smoke curling from the chimney, boots by the door, wet from the journey up. There's a kettle just beginning to whistle on the kitchen bench. Nobody is exactly sure where this image comes from, but there isn't a person living who doesn't have one. It could be from a movie or an Instagram post with someone else's cabin reblogged 100 times over without a single word of context. Whatever the source is, the whole "cottagecore" aesthetic that the internet has had a hunger for recently isn't really about wanting a simpler life than the one that you have. It's about longing for a simpler relationship, a one-room kind of romance, with mountains of snow outside keeping watch over the cabin, making sure no one leaves until morning.

You don't need an entire cabin in the mountains to have this kind of romance, only a room, a person, and permission to stay in both of them.

The Small Rituals No One Talks About

No one writes songs about the fifteen seconds it takes to warm up another person's side of the bed before getting in but that's where a lot of romance really begins.

"Home was never a place until it became you."

It's in the oversized t-shirt that belonged to no one in particular but somehow became the most important garment in human history. It's in the droplets of condensation forming on the window and a doodle of a heart appearing on the glass, no questions asked. I made you a cup already, it's on the counter," said without looking up from whatever book has become an annual tradition between the two of you. It's two people sitting in the same room, even if they aren't speaking, and somehow that silence sounds like love louder than any conversation ever could.

None of these little rituals make for a romantic gesture in and of themselves. No one sets out to perform any of these actions with the intention of making someone fall in love with them. They just happen, again and again, until they become an entire language that only two people know. That's usually the point when it becomes clear that something serious is happening. It isn't a big gesture like a dinner for two on the anniversary of the day you met. It's something much simpler, like the fact that you always make two cups of tea instead of one.

Rainy Evenings Have Their Own Unique Kind of Romance

There is a quiet privacy that only comes when rainy weather builds a shelter around the evening.

While snow may be a popular winter staple, rain has a unique charm in itself that is equally intimate and close. A cloudy rainy cold evening has little to no appeal of a postcard-ready snowy backdrop, but its gray and gloomy nature creates a certain type of privacy, almost like the rain is creating a bubble of shelter around the house. People talk about these kinds of evenings in hushed tones, writing about the sound that the rain makes on the roof or missing someone more on rainy days than any other time of the year, without actually saying why a rainy day makes them miss someone. It makes them feel like being with someone on a rainy evening is its own kind of romance, a type that doesn't come around often and therefore should be savored. Someone could spend a rainy evening at home wrapped in a blanket, listening to the raindrops patter on the rooftops and the occasional swish of the cars' headlights passing on the wet road outside. They can think to themselves that this kind of night doesn't ask you to be romantic, only to let you be if you wantto.

Romantic Cozy Quotes to Say Out Loud or Save for Later

Sometimes a person just needs to be able to hand someone a feeling rather than tell them about it. That's where quotes come in handy, and below is a list of quotes that either say things that people feel or help them express their own words, organized into categories depending on what it is you need to say

Slow down and savor the crisp magic of a quiet, sunlit morning wrapped in winter's embrace.

For Snowy Mornings

"You made the whole house smell like cinnamon before I even opened my eyes."

"The snow can keep falling, I'm in no hurry to be anywhere else today."

"I love you in the ordinary way, the way that looks like two mugs left on the counter."

" Some mornings all I want is to find your side of the bed still warm."

"We didn't plan a single thing today, and it might be my favorite kind of day so far."

Late night conversations sound a bit sweeter when accompanied by the gentle rhythm of falling rain.

For Rainy Nights

"The rain hasn't stopped, and neither have we still talking well past midnight."

"I like you best on nights like this, when nothing is expected of either of us."

"Come inside, you're soaked. Let me get you something warm before anything else."

"There's a kind of love that only shows up once it starts raining and you're already home."

"I don't need the weather to cooperate. I just need you to be here."

"The rain hasn't stopped, and neither have we still talking well past midnight."

For No Reason at All

"You're my favorite kind of quiet."

" Some love stories don't need candlelight. Ours just needs a blanket and you."

"I fell for you on an ordinary Tuesday, and I still haven't recovered."

"Home was never a place until it became you."

"The best part of my day is the five minutes right before you fall asleep."

Why do we save quotes like this?

There is a reason why people save these kinds of quotes instead of trying to come up with their own words every single time. Not everyone is good at finding the right words to say or write at the moment when they need to say or write them, and a quote can sometimes say it for you. You can share it with somebody else, or save it in a message or a card or somewhere private where only they will be able to see it without you having to say it out loud.

"A rainy evening doesn't ask you to be romantic. It only hushes the world, so your heartbeat can be heard."

That's really the beauty of romantic cozy quotes, they are borrowed words that communicate a sentiment that is difficult to phrase at the moment, especially when it comes to sentiments that aren't grand gestures, but more the little things that make everyday life beautiful. Grand gestures don't need quotes for inspiration, they have their own language, but quotes needed to be developed for the little everyday things that make love what it is. Everyday cozy romance deserved its own lexicon and that's what these quotes are beginning to provide.

A few quick questions people ask

What makes a quote sound cozy as opposed to just being romantic?

It's really in the details. Cozy quotes focus on small intimate details like blankets, warmth, cold weather, etc. They also focus on romance in relationships in a domestic setting rather than elsewhere.

Where do people use these quotes?

Mostly social media posts, cards, messages and notes. Places where people write about their love lives or put little messages for their partners to find.

Are these quotes specific to the winter season?

Not necessarily, although the cold weather really does bring out the best in cozy quotes, they can also be used in rainy evenings or other cold, quiet nights when you feel the need to stay in.

One Last Thought Before You Put on the Kettle

Maybe the reason why cold weather is so romantic is that it provides a certain level of intimacy that is absent from other parts of the year. There are no plans, no places to be, nowhere to go really, except the room you're in with the person you're with. You make your own warmth because there is no other way to make it. Ask a person what the most romantic place in the world is and I'll almost guarantee you that they will say a room, a cabin maybe, but most likely a room. Something small that is warm and safe with someone you love and would rather be cold with than warm and alone. So if it's snowing right now where you are, or raining, or even just cold enough that your windows have gotten all fogggy, there's a good chance that is your answer. Put the kettle on, find the blanket, let the quotes say the rest.
