During a recent survey conducted by Cupid.com, a popular online dating site since 2005, singles weighed in on their dating prospects and future romantic dreams and aspirations for 2013.
Following up on life changing New Year’s resolutions, this past Valentine’s Day, the editors at Cupid Pic set out to understand how dating singles viewed their relationships at the start of the year and learn about their plans for romance in 2013. The five following questions were asked of singles on Cupid.com, with the full responses found in this infographic.
- Did you start the New Year in a relationship that you know is going nowhere?
- Is this the year to stop messing around, dump your current partner and search for your soul mate?
- If you started the year single, was this with the intention of finding your true love?
- Do you see 2013 as the year to find the person you will be marrying in 2014?
- Would you be disappointed to end 2013 without having found your soul mate?
Cupid.com has highlighted some of the single responses and their thoughts on romance in 2013.
