The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and the air conditioning is on — summer is almost here.
In the world of dating, summer is usually associated with more casual flings, while relationships go hand in hand with winter months. After all, the months of October through February have even earned the name of “cuffing season.” But I’d argue that June, July and August are great months to be single, especially if you’re looking for a serious relationship.
When the online dating website and app Zoosk analyzed data from their 40 million users, they found that more people resubscribe in August than during any other time during the year and that August is the second most active month of the year for women, just behind October. They also found July is a “peak time for people trying online dating for the first time,” meaning new people that might be a connection for you.
