Today is the most active day on Dating Apps

February 7th, the week before Valentine’s Day, is why Tinder is blowing up your phone right now. Everyone just wants some love, or lovin’ *wink wink*

Love is in the air, and push notifications are all over your screen, according to dating app Happn. The dating app, which helps you find love by connecting you with people you pass on the streets or at events, says its most active day in the US is February 7, one week before Valentine’s Day.

This makes sense, in a slightly depressing way. You don’t want to be frantically messaging a match too close to Valentine’s Day, since having a first date on the actual day, or even around it, is a bit much. A second date on Valentine’s Day, on the other hand, seems much more reasonable.

Happn also says that while people might assume that New Year’s Eve would follow a similar pattern, with dating activity seeing a boost the week before, it’s actually the opposite. The data shows a spike in the week after New Year’s. New year, fresh start in finding your soul mate, it seems.
