‘Tis the Season for Online Dating

The time between Christmas and Valentine’s day is the most active online dating time all year long. This is probably for the following reasons:

• The holidays are over: people put off dating, and are fresh from spending the holidays without a boyfriend / girlfriend.
• The winter: it’s cold, don’t you want someone to keep you warm?
• Rushing to beat the Valentine’s Day deadline – trying to not spend it at some Anti-Valentine’s Day party.

This happens every year, and it’s happening RIGHT NOW!

Now is the time for online dating!

(The summer of 2009 was also a hot time, but I believe that had something to do with the economic downturn.)

So what does this mean? It means if you’ve tried online dating in the past, but gave up, or have been meaning to try online dating, now is a great time to give it a shot. During this time, sites like Match, eHarmony, and OKCupid are being FLOODED with single people.

This means there are cuties on these sites that will. Not. Last. Long. You have to ACT NOW! Sorry to sound like an infomercial, but I can’t stress enough that there is no better time of year to find someone.

Here’s a little tip to catch those hotties while they last: when you search on Match.com, sort the matches by “Newest First.” You can be the first guy to send that cutie a charming one-line hook before she gets scared away. The highest-quality matches get BOMBARDED on online dating sites, and if you can stand out amongst the other guys that can’t form a complete sentence, she’ll be spending the rest of her winter with you.

Remember, if you’ve been meaning to try Match.com, I’ve got a whole bunch of Match.com promo codes, including a Match.com free trial for you. Give it a shot.
