It is referred to as "Singles Sunday".
If you're single and looking for love (or, y'know, whatever you might be looking for, we're not here to judge), then today (Sunday 6 January) is apparently the best day of 2019 to find it.
Yep, every 6 January is the busiest day of the year for online dating and matchmaking according to several online dating outlets. In fact, it is reported that most dating apps and websites will be 75% busier today than on an average day.
