Hold on to your heart emojis, folks, because Dating Sunday is almost here, and it’s not just any Sunday—it’s the first Sunday in January, the holy grail of online dating days. Move over, Super Bowl Sunday; there’s a new MVP in town.
According to Fast Company, January’s inaugural Sunday is like the Super Bowl for online daters, and the stats are as mind-boggling as figuring out why someone would use a fish as their profile picture. Tinder, the grandmaster of swipes, reports a 22% surge in messages on this sacred day. That’s more messages than you’ve sent to your mom in the last month. Users are responding faster than you can say, “Is this a catfish?” – 19.4 minutes faster, to be exact. It’s like speed dating on steroids, minus the awkward silences.
And let’s not forget the almighty “like” button. On Dating Sunday, it’s like everyone suddenly discovers the joy of giving a virtual thumbs up. Tinder claims an 18.2% increase in likes as if people are stockpiling them for the long winter ahead. Maybe they’re hoping those likes will keep them warm when the ghosting season arrives.
But hold on, Match.com has thrown its hat into the ring, declaring Dating Sunday as the heavyweight champion of online dating days. Brace yourselves for a 69% spike in new memberships—because who needs New Year’s resolutions when you can have a new relationship, right?
Now, when exactly is the prime time to snag yourself a digital soulmate, you ask? According to the love gurus at Match.com, Sunday at 9:05 p.m. is the golden hour. Forget about dinner dates; it’s all about securing a virtual date during the peak of Dating Sunday. It’s like Cinderella’s Ball, but with fewer glass slippers and more profile pictures with Snapchat filters.
As we gear up for the online dating frenzy, let’s hope these apps serve up more than just fleeting connections. May your swipes be right, your messages witty, and your profile pictures free of awkward bathroom selfies. Here’s to finding lasting love in a digital world, where every Sunday is a chance to swipe right into happily ever after. Cheers to Dating Sunday, where love is just a click away, and the only catfish you’ll encounter is the one you might want to date. Happy swiping!

While still in school, Bradley began his acting career. His first role saw him appearing opposite Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex and the City. As we previously reported, the actor landed the role by lying. He said that he knew how to drive a stick shift car when he actually didn’t. For his first film role, Cooper had to miss his graduation ceremony for 2001’s Wet Hot American Summer. After starring in a few other features and television series, Cooper snagged supporting roles in more popular films like 2005’s Wedding Crashers, 2006’s Failure to Launch, and 2008’s Yes Man.

In 2023’s Maestro, Cooper starred, co-wrote, and directed the film. In it, he plays American conductor Leonard Bernstein and spent a whopping six years learning how to conduct just over six minutes of music. His next project will be producing Todd Phillips’ sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
