With the holiday season behind us and less than a month left until Valentine’s Day, singles are back on dating apps in full force right now. As we recently told you, research shows that online dating sees the highest rate of activity from the beginning of January to February 14th - Valentine’s Day. According to Tinder, there are 11.4-million more messages sent and over 58-million more likes sent on their app during that time than the rest of the year.
Now the experts at Bumble are giving singles a boost by revealing the best time to hop on their app. According to data crunchers at the dating app, their U.S. users are most active Mondays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., so being on then could lead to more matches.
To stay competitive during the peak season, you may want to upgrade your profile, and Tinder’s Global Relationship Insights Expert, Paul C Brunson, suggests the best way to do that. He advises that the optimal dating profile should include five photos and not be longer than around 45 words. After you make a match, he recommends having a conversation before going on that first date, explaining, “The best dates happen when you have time to get to know each other on the app before meeting in real life.”
