Think you don’t want a date?
You probably soon will want a date. Summer is ending, and the holidays are near. See here on Google trends that there is a huge spike in searches for “match.com” right around Christmas.
What do you *really* want Santa to bring you?
This is probably due to:
- Being alone during the holidays.
- Being around family: realizing you’d like to start one, or listening to relatives nag about when you’ll finally get married.
- Free time off of work.
There could also be some match.com advertising pushes during the holidays, and maybe some people just have New Year’s resolutions to find a significant other.
So, why delay? Write up your profile and get a date. Heck, you can even use a 7-day free trial if you want.

Pretty cool data.
Hey Russ, I had a quick question. In some earlier posts you mentioned that its important for first dates to be easy and low stress. However, I live in a somewhat rural area which means that I commonly end up driving 1 or 2 hours to meet people. I don’t mind the drive so much, but it seems like the distance puts a lot of pressure on my date because she knows I am coming a long way just to see her.
How can I approach the first date to ease this tension a bit? Should I try to get her to meet me half way, rather than driving the whole distance myself? Would I be better off using phone or webcam and waiting a bit longer to meet them in person?
Hey Lance, I definitely think working with the phone or webcam would be a good bet. Also, I think meeting halfway would be a good idea, as long as you’re both cool with it. Your situation definitely calls for a different set of rules!
