While dating apps were once seen as taboo, they are now one of the main ways single people find love around the world.

And if you’re single this holiday, there’s good news, as experts at dating app Badoo have revealed the best time to get online to score a date.

According to their research, Saturday from 8pm to 10pm is the peak time to swipe this weekend.

Remy Le Fevre, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Badoo said: ‘Easter is a great time to date; the days are finally getting brighter and longer, and moods are improving.

“Not to mention that thanks to two holidays – Friday and Monday – we actually have some extra time.”

10 scientifically proven ways to improve your dating profile

  1. Add a photo with your dog
  2. Don’t use “sexy” or topless photos
  3. Show off your Apple devices
  4. Take a selfie from a flattering angle
  5. Make yourself look wider
  6. Ask a stranger to choose your photos
  7. Choose a subtle and creative chat-up line
  8. Make your profile information ‘humble and realistic’
  9. Check your spelling and grammar
  10. Don’t set your standards too high

Badoo surveyed 1,003 Britons aged 18 to 40 about their dating plans over the holiday weekend.

The results showed that 58 percent of single people plan to spend time on dating apps over the long weekend, while 27 percent have already planned a date.

According to the survey, the most popular time for single people on dating apps is Saturday from 8pm to 10pm.

“Tuesday is the least popular day of the week for chatting, so make sure you make the most of the Bank Holiday weekend itself,” advises Badoo.

When it comes to the date itself, Saturday afternoon turned out to be the time most singletons would love to go on a date.

Dinner at a restaurant (47 percent) was the most popular first date suggestion, followed by brunch (36 percent) or a trip to a bar (35 percent).

“Despite the extra ‘free’ time, we know it can still be busy with existing commitments, so we’ve provided the perfect hack to help those looking for meaningful connections and not just Easter eggs,” added Mr Le February to it.

Fortunately, if you’re planning on swiping this weekend, help is at hand, as experts have worked tirelessly over the years to find the secret formula for online dating success.

Studies have shown that having a dog in your photos or an Apple product increases your chances of getting a match.

But an instant chat line like “your lips are so sexy,” and even cheeky photos, can put off potential dates.

The rise of online dating

The first incarnation of a dating app can be traced back to 1995 when Match.com first launched. The website allowed single people to upload a profile and a photo and chat with people online.

eHarmony was then developed in 2000 and two years later, Ashley Madison, a site dedicated to infidelity and cheating, was first launched.

Over the next 10-15 years, a plethora of other dating sites with unique demographic audiences were established, including OKCupid (2004), Plenty of Fish (2006), Grindr (2009), and Happn (2013).

Launched in 2012, Tinder was the first swipe-based dating platform. After its initial launch, its use snowballed and by March 2014 there were one billion matches per day.

Bumble, a dating app designed to empower women, was launched in 2014 by Tinder co-founder Whitney Wolfe Herd.
