So, the “dating scene”…..been a while since I’ve been involved with it, and my wife tends to “frown on me” if I am involved with it these days (funsucker! haha!)…..But, maybe you’re involved with dating, meeting people, going out and doing things, ect. ect.
Below are some statistics, facts, and figures from Match.com that you might find interesting when it comes to dating, some might even be helpful.
