Surprising Truth About Top Ways To Find Love In 2018

It is a new year and you’re single and have a made a New Years resolution that you’ll be in a lasting relationship in 2018. So here’s the surprising truth about top ways to find love in 2018.

It seems that gone are the days where people met through family or friends or even in person for the first time. But surprisingly the #2 way people meet after dating apps is through friends (according to ReportLinker). Also this same study found that 81% said they are NOT registered on dating websites or apps.

So back to the numbers for a second. According to Bustle, 57% of millennials use dating apps but overall 39% of people still met their significant other though friends.

So it does seem if you are on a time line, the dating apps are your best choice to start. But do remember that it can be a slippery slope for women as we have written about before and mentioned in RepirtLinker study. If you want to save a lot of time with a high percentage of success, a professional matchmaker will always come out on top.
