A "slowmance" could be a great dating approach this season. A therapist explains why.

As the weather cools down, dating heats up as people secure a cuddle buddy for "cuffing season," but for some, taking a slower approach may be the best strategy.

A "slowmance" is the idea of taking an intentionally slower pace than what many might think of as "the norm" in the dating world, Mere Abrams, a therapist at FOLX Health, told CBS News. 

"There can be a tendency to go really deep, really quickly," Abrams said, but a slowmance focuses on "keeping things light and fun for a while before we get into those deep topics like family, past trauma, challenges in life."
