Just as Black Friday is known as the best shopping day of the year, experts say the first Sunday of the year has become the best day to find a date, especially online.
The Guardian reports that online dating websites like Plenty of Fish and Match.com expect the most traffic on that day, with a spike in registration in the evening.
Plenty of Fish expected registration to jump 24 percent over the course of the day with over 81,000 new subscribers, according to the report.
News 12 Brooklyn hit the streets to ask residents about the New Year's spike in online dating and why they think online dating has become so popular.
