It’s the busiest day of the year on the dating apps! But what do you need to know before putting yourself out there? If you’re a single parent thinking about getting back on the dating scene, read our guide to what to think about before looking for love.
What is Dating Sunday?
Dating Sunday, the first Sunday of the month, is officially the busiest day of the year on the dating apps. To get you started, we've pulled together some of our best dating knowledge from the Frolo blog, dating related Meetups and Group Chats from the Frolo community.
The good news is that Dating Sunday isn't a one-off spike, it's a trend that continues until mid-February (can you guess why?) and so there's plenty of time to perfect your profile and build up your confidence. One dating app has even done research that shows that users send over 57 million more likes between New Year and Valentine's Day than the rest of the year.

We get that dating can feel scary, especially if it's been a while since you were in a relationship or you've been hurt in the past, but like a lot of scary things, the potential rewards are huge if you're prepared to take a chance on finding happiness. We don't expect you to go it alone. You can find plenty of support in the Frolo community, both from experts and other single parents.
Find Support Online
The Dating Advice and Support Group Chat is one of our most active groups and there are always plenty of people ready to virtually hold your hand as you get ready for a first date, provide words of encouragement and generally give you a boost.
Set The Right Intentions
If you want to get clarity around exactly what you're looking for, then join us online on Tuesday 9th January for an intention setting workshop with Kelly Hearn. Figure out what you want, get it down on paper and make it happen!
Have Self-Compassion
Compassion focussed therapist Nathalie Kealy joins us on Monday 8th January at 8pm for a session around self-compassion, which could be perfect for anyone worried about finding dating difficult at first and wanting some practical techniques to manage these feelings.
Relationship Playlist
Our relationships playlist on YouTube has recordings of over 20 of our Expert Meetups, many of which focus on how to get ready for dating, set goals and boundaries and find the relationship you really want. One of our favourites is this session with Julie Kotziamani about how to create a non-traditional romantic relationship to suit YOU.
