If one of your goals for this year is to finally get into a relationship, you have no time to waste. Your best chance of success in online dating in 2016 is right now.
According to Match.com and Plenty of Fish, more people will sign up, log on, and search for matches from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. on the Sunday right after New Year’s than any other time of the year.
In other words, both of those sites just restocked on fresh meat last night. So tell your boss you’re going to have to extend your vacation a little longer, because you need the next several hours to tweak your profile.
Now, if you’re not quite ready to sign up today, you still have time. Your last chance to hit the sweet spot for online dating is around Valentine’s Day. But once that’s over, the number of people on online dating sites declines for the rest of the year.
