This Sunday is the Super Bowl of dating apps. It’s been dubbed “dating Sunday” and it’s the first Sunday of the year every year. It’s a day where singles typically will create online dating profiles on different apps and try their luck. The number of messages sent this weekend will be 22% higher than normal. The number of likes will be up 18% and people will respond 19 minutes faster this weekend than any other. So if you’re looking for love, or just looking to hook up, this weekend will be the best one for you to shoot your shot.
Now, choosing a dating site may be a little overwhelming. I’ve done the leg work. I’ve been single for several years and tried almost every dating site there is. Keep in mind, there are VERY specific sites for very specific things. Do you want a relationship? Do you want a hook up? Do you want a friendship? Also, are you looking to pay for love? There are some sites that offer free online profiles and there are some that charge you a monthly fee. It all depends on how serious you are in finding someone. I’m going to run down the sites I’ve tried for you so you can make the best choice of where you want to take your chance.
And when it comes to your dating profile, just be yourself. Don’t try to portray something you’re not. Also, BE HONEST IN YOUR PHOTOS. There’s nothing worse than showing pictures that filter features OR group photos where you can’t tell which person you are in the photo. Also, if you’re lying in your profile, what else could you be lying about? Be charming, funny but most importantly BE YOU! Best of luck looking for love this weekend.
OK Cupid: good for both hook ups and serious relationships
OK Cupid is a little more complicated of a dating app. You can message someone you like however they won’t see it unless you actually match with them. There’s a free version available but a paid subscription too. Typically I find there are less quality people here and not as many choices as it’s not really a top tier dating app anymore.
Coffee Meets Bagel: relationship type app, sends you potential matches
With this app, it’s more for relationships. You will get matches (bagels) sent to you daily. It also will nudge you and give you ice breakers to make the first move. It is free but there is also a paid subscription that offers more features.
Match: serious relationships but with a price
The good thing about Match is, it’s for serious daters. But the consensus is, you need a paid subscription to really find anyone worthy. There’s a free version but you can subscribe for $20 per month.
