Dating in the summer
It is officially summer and it seems like everything is just more fun when the temperatures rise above twenty degrees and the sun is shining brightly. Flowy skirts flitting through the city, weekends filled with festivals, canals full of boats, and long summer evenings on the terrace. On these days, I prefer to be outside until midnight, my social life is on point, and suddenly I need less sleep.
But perhaps the most important thing: I'm dating again. Yes really, girlfriend. And that's quite a thing, because I don't like dating at all. Yet I'm not the only one currently busy catching butterflies. Online dating site Parship.nl conducted research into the benefits of dating in the summer months and what turns out? Summer is the season of butterflies; no less than 31 percent of singles in our country get butterflies faster as the mercury rises and fall in love sooner. Moreover, singles feel more attractive, making dating easier. Especially the single man (namely 73%) gets extra butterflies as the scantily clad girls come out of their shells au naturel.
So we find each other more attractive, but that's not all. No less than a third (32%) of singles are more open to love at this time of year. The feeling that other singles are also more in search of a partner gives confidence and ensures that singles become more active online.
Are you, like me, a happy single? The season is officially open. These are the benefits of dating in the summer according to Dutch singles:
- 69% More fun dates like going to terraces, picnicking, barbecuing, going to the beach, or taking a bike ride.
- 60% People look more attractive, for example due to nicer clothing and a tan on their face.
- 34% It stays light longer, allowing for dating in the evening and outside.
- 23% By feeling more attractive, more potential partners are attracted.
- 13% Due to the nice weather, there are more people on the street and more potential loves around.
Could it be then, guys? Could it really? I'll keep you updated...
