It’s boom time for lovebirds

Today is expected to be the busiest day in history for new sign-ups from single blokes.

Love experts Match are predicting a 104% increase in new users today and more than 235,000 messages to be sent by love-lorn gents on the quest to find a new lover.

Women are expected to wait until tomorrow to search for their soulmate.

It comes as millions of singles have put finding a new romantic partner at the top of their New Year resolutions.

Match’s dating expert Vicki Pavitt said: “People want a fresh start and January is the perfect time of year to wipe the slate clean and try something new. MILLIONS of randy Brits will bring in the new year by signing up to dating websites and apps.

Fun

“Once all of the fun of New Year’s Eve weekend dies down and the Christmas festivities are over, January is the time many Brits embrace a new beginning and get back into the dating game.

“Pressure from family members during the holidays or wishing they had someone to spend the holidays with often encourages people.

“Dating apps are a fun, low investment way to find out if there is someone out there for you.

“With more people likely to be online today than any other time this year, your chances of success will be even higher.’’

She added the best time to log on is 11pm tonight as traffic is expected to peak around about then.

Meanwhile, matchmaker Louanne Ward revealed her top five places to find love.

The Aussie says the gym, the theatre, social media, the beach and a coffee shop are the best places to meet new people.

She said: “The opportunities are endless in more ways than one.

“Find a place you feel comfortable in which makes it all so much easier to break into conversation over a shared love.”
