When it comes to online dating, there’s no time like the present. Online dating memberships double in January according to the The Telegraph in London. This month is expected to be the best month ever as online dating becomes more accepted and effective at finding love.

New Year’s Eve parties and Christmas gatherings abound, and driven partly by a look back on life at the end of a year, and also by the look forward through a bevy of New Year’s resolutions, singles lose their inhibitions and open up new accounts with the world’s hundreds of dating sites.
