Looking to get a date in the new year? Now\u2019s the time!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes being single around the holidays can leave you feeling a little down\u2014all the holiday parties without a date, explaining to your family why you\u2019re not seeing anyone, and then there\u2019s the ever-looming thought of having to watch the New Year\u2019s ball drop without having anyone to kiss at midnight. But thanks to information from the online dating site Zoosk<\/a>, we know that the holidays are actually one of the best times to be single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Because it\u2019s the best time to online date! After looking into the behavior of its over 38 million members worldwide, Zoosk found that more people sign up for online dating now than during any other time of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More People Start Online Dating After Christmas<\/strong>
\n27% more people sign up to start dating in the days after Christmas leading to the new year. That means if you\u2019re thinking about trying out online dating, December 26 through January 3 is the best time to give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singles are More Talkative After Christmas Too<\/strong>
\nNot only are more people signing up for online dating but more people are messaging each other too. On Zoosk, singles send 15% more messages between December 26 through January 3 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People in Their 30s, 40s, and Up Are the Most Active<\/strong>
\nDuring that time 35\u201344 year-olds send about 17% more message and those who are 45 and older send 15% more. So if you\u2019re looking for other singles over 40, the odds may be even more in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Love Keeps Coming All the Way through January<\/strong>
\nAfter the holidays, there\u2019s still a lot of action. The month of January gets 10% more sign ups than the rest of the year. And both men and women continue to send more messages\u2014men send 5% more and women send 7% more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More singles are looking to date now than during any other time. So take advantage of this peak time and give it a try.
