Romance and dating surround us as Valentine's day approaches, putting the pressure on both those who are coupled up and those who will be without a romantic partner to celebrate with. Especially for the singles.
It can be a time of sadness for those faced with being alone as the hallmarked bombardments surround them in the weeks leading up the February 14.
But Valentine's is a wonderful time; it's meant to celebrate love, but if you're not in a romantic relationship, why not spark a something new?
This cluster celebrates love and new relationships through fun innovations in dating, from crowd-sourced dating sites to dating by DNA. Happy Valentine's Day!
