And divorcées appear to like company. Jan. 4 was the busiest day of the year for online dating with traffic peaking at 8:52 p.m. Eastern Time, according to dating website Match.com. The country’s largest dating website — which has 2.8 million subscribers in North America — sees a 38% jump in registrations between December and February. Dating app Zoosk typically sees a 26% spike in sign-ups in the two weeks after Christmas.
