What's the Best Time of Year For Online Dating?

The above chart, created by David McCandles, represents the times during the year in which couples tend to break-up. The data, collected from FaceBook profiles awhile back, is quite interesting and shows two obvious peaks, right before Spring break and two weeks before Christmas. This makes sense if you think about it and there is a good explanation from Brad at Little Red Rails blog for why this is. However, I?d like to take a moment now and talk about why the Autumn months are in my opinion, and based on the graph above, THE best months to delve into the online dating world.

First off, lets ignore for a second that there are a large number of people who break up just before Christmas time and think about what most people like to gossip about when they get together with their family and friends during the holidays from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve. From my observations, most of that holiday gossip revolves around relationships, particularly new relationships ? who?s seeing who, how?d you meet, I met the greatest guy, etc, etc. People, and women in particular love heading back to their respective family functions proclaiming their new love interest. And this period is the catalyst for what some people in the seduction industry call ?doe season?, which are the Autumn months leading up to the holidays.

There are few reasons for this:

• Autumn is a busy time of year for most people, college classes are just getting underway, many businesses are gearing up for Holiday sales and overall there just isn?t a lot of time, leaving many to resort to dating online, rather than going out.
• As mentioned above many women want to be dating someone for a few months leading up to the Holiday?s in order to brag or bring with them to meet families and friends.
• In many places it starts getting colder and darker earlier in the day, so people aren?t going out as much, and again more likely to stay in and try their luck at online dating.
• One aspect that is mostly overlooked, particularly for men, is that people are able to dress up more and hopefully better in the cooler climate. Rather than your casual wear resorting to shorts, t-shirt and flip flops in the summer time; you can now break out the nice long sleeve button downs, cardigans, sweater vests, pea coats, leather shoes, etc. These are all the clothing choices that can help give a man that extra little boost when meeting up in real life with his online dating prospects.

Now I know what you?re going to say, if the Fall is the best time to meet women online than why are there so many people breaking up two weeks before Christmas? Well, I have a hypothesis on why this might be true. Though there are a lot of people meeting and dating in the Fall, it usually only takes about one to two months before you REALLY get to know that person you met. And faced with the looming catalyst of the holidays, those potential relationships that aren?t quite as good as we imagined now find themselves ready to be discarded for fear of judgement from family and friends.

So there you have it folks, the best time of year for online dating, but be careful who you pick as the end point of that relationship could be just around corner.

Happy hunting!
