When are you most likely to find a date this year? Well, according to experts, your best bet might be to start looking for your match right at the beginning of the year. The first weekend in January will be a record date for dating, say aficionados. So try not to get too much of a hangover drinking on New Year’s Eve – you might miss out on ‘the one’! Here are the five reasons why January 2nd and 3rd is the ideal date to start dating and find love this year.
New Year’s resolutions
For millions of us, the New Year is a time to consider how we can improve our lives and make a range of New Year’s resolutions. Most of these will fall through, but the overall feeling is still one of energy, intent and hope. Resolutions might include giving up smoking, improved budgeting or eating more healthily. Whatever the resolutions, all this newly found resolve and purpose makes people feel more confident about the idea of dating, and finding love as well.
Dating sites
As dating sites gain popularity in the UK (meeting through online dating is now as popular as meeting someone at work) they are becoming the ideal place to look for a partner in a more systematic way. And when it comes to the New Year, we tend to approach things with a more dedicated and strategic approach following the down time of Christmas. Instead of leaving it to chance, more and more people are taking the reins and improving their chances of finding love by signing up to dating sites.
Nosey relatives
With countless relatives ready to tell us precisely what they think we should do with our lives and plenty of time for them to emphasize their opinions over the Christmas period, the pressure to find love and settle down can be a little overwhelming. But the Christmas period can also be a natural time to take stock of our lives and think about what changes we might want to make for the future. Away from work and the buzz of the city over Christmas, the idea of dating in order to find a partner can start to seem like a priority, rather than a background possibility.
Soppy Christmas movies
There’s a tendency for Christmas movies to bring a tear to our eyes. There’s an unleashing of real soppiness and old fashioned love stories which we wouldn’t watch during the rest of the year, but somehow feel drawn to over the festive period. Despite being cheesy, these movies make us realise our own desire to find love with someone special. As the New Year approaches, the idea of dating becomes more appealing – finding someone to watch all those soppy movies with!
The recession
The economic downturn has made people take stock of their lives in the face of adversity and think about what’s really important to them in the long term. As the financial world tumbles around us we are all looking for more permanence and stability – the kind offered by long term love. Nearly two thirds of respondents to the LoveGeist, a recent survey on love and dating, said that finding love was more important to them now than it was a year ago.
