Last year I talk about my overall experience with online dating, and how my experience turned into an online dating success story.

Below is what I would call a “Summer Dating Infographic”. This infographic is actually titled “Summer Romance on a Budget”…but there’s not a ton of budgeting advice in it! Still it’s fun and interesting. These graphics can get a tad repetitive, showing the same data with new images, but this one has some new statistics I’ve not seen so I wanted to share it.
