According to Tinder, the first Sunday in January is "Dating Sunday." And it's the busiest day of the year for online dating.

Sunday Could Be Your Lucky Day

It's a new year - does that mean a new you? Is it time to get back out there in the dating world? Is this year the year you'll meet that someone special? Well, this Sunday could be your day!

No, it's not just the day that you should absolutely have your Christmas tree down by. It's also the most popular day for online dating. Tinder says that they see a big surge in people updating their bios, uploading photos, sending messages - and also responding to messages - on the first Sunday in January.

When it comes to responding to messages, Tinder said that people respond to messages 19 minutes faster on "Dating Sunday" than on any other Sunday of the year. And according to the Tinder Newsroom, peak time of day is 9pm to 10 pm.

A New Year Means A Fresh Start For Romance

They didn't say specifically why, but it's probably a mix of a few things: Fresh starts for the New Year, New Year's resolutions, and more available time after months of holidays,  gatherings, and being around other couples.

This isn't just Tinder, by the way. A few years back, someone from Match called "Dating Sunday" the "Super Bowl of dating apps."

With so many Mr. or Ms. Right's out there, I'd hate for you to waste your time on Mr. or Ms. Wrong. So here is my list of some phrases that are red flags on dating apps:

  • "Single and ready to mingle." No, no, no - it is not 1985!
  • "Looking for a loyal partner." This is a dating app, not a dog rescue.
  • "What have you got to lose?" Based on your dirty lowcut tank top, showing all of your your underarm hair - braided - my reputation for good taste.
  • "Send nudes." Let me guess - your first time on Christian-Mingle?
  • "I'd rather meet up in person than text." Spoken like every guy Keith Morrison says "kept to himself" on "Dateline".

Good luck to all in 2024, and may you all swipe right!

The Best Cities To Meet Someone; Las Vegas Ranks Or Tanks

The best cities to meet someone. Las Vegas places on the list for dating.

Love is a sacred thing that we hope all get to experience at some point in their life. From a young age we witness and learn about love from our elders. We have seen love in different forms and the adventures that it can take people on. As we grow older we learn that love is important and that it's hard to survive without it. The world seems more bleak without a little flare of love.

Finding ones true love is for the fairytales. Or is not? We have seen or heard of the Disney movies that show happily ever afters and to tell you the truth it's possible to find that in real life.

What is "that" though? That is a relationship where you mesh easy with someone based on their personality, looks and overall connection. Dating apps have made it easier in the twenty-first century in finding our other half. So that we think. There are apps like Tinder and Bumble that generally show you photos of singles that are in your local area. The tiring "swipe right" only does so well until you run out of potentials in your area.

Our friends at Shane Co, conducted a survey on the best places in the U.S. for a Meet-Cute. What is a meet-cute? ShaneCo.com states, "In a movie, a meet-cute is a scene where two people who have a romantic future together interact with each other for the first time, usually under quirky or unusual circumstances." So if you're out and about look around as your other half could be a lot closer than you think.

Below you will find some of the best cities to meet someone in. Surprisingly, even with Las Vegas growing over 2 million residents and with an influx of tourists on the daily a shot of love still exists.

The data was concluded off of 14 factors in relation to meeting someone unexpectedly. The analysis sought categories like:
