Fingers at the ready, let's get swiping 😍

Spruce up your bio, take some fresh pics and voilà – you’re ready to go.go, this one isn’t new; the first Sunday of the year has been a peak swiping time for the past two years.It’s so popular that it has its own name, dubbed ‘Singles Sunday’ or ‘Dating Sunday’.

In difference to previous years, however, people will be logging on later than usual, according to Match.com, who anticipate user traffic to peak around 11pm. If that’s past your bedtime, The Inner Circle expects new users to sign up around 7pm, with activity at its highest around 9pm. Or take your chances on Hinge – the app hasn’t shared a specific time for best results, but if last year is any indication, you’ll have plenty of profiles to peruse.If you want to expand your dating radius or will be on holiday in Europe this weekend, the timings will differ slightly; France, Germany and Sweden are feeling frisky around 9pm, but Spain will get cracking the earliest at 2pm.

For those fresh on the online dating scene or who are coming back from a break, here are some top tips from Match.com on how to improve your chances:‘It’s important to have up-to-date pictures on your profile. You want them to be a true representation of you so you match with people who you have a genuine connection with.’‘If your picture is heavily filtered and doesn’t look like you in real life, then there’s a high chance that you’ll start off on the wrong foot with your date.
