Woman found boyfriend on 'Britain's dullest men' Facebook group and claims it's better than Tinder
When looking for the perfect partner, a huge amount of people will start off on dating apps and go from there.
Of course, there's plenty of apps to choose from but Tinder seems to be the most popular one, though one woman reckons she's found an even better spot.
While it's possibly a little bit too late to find a date to bring home for Christmas, unless of course your relationships develop at the kind of speed that would make a festive rom-com jealous, looking for your perfect partner is definitely worth your time.

But then, where to go to find 'the one'? Do you want to bond over a mutual hobby, spark up a conversation in a bar or swipe through 100 faces until you finally meet your match?
According to one woman, the right place is Facebook, or more specifically a group on Facebook called the Dull Men's Club.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Danielle Goodyear explained that she met boyfriend James Warburton on the intentionally boring group and couldn't be happier.
The Dull Men's Club is a group where people share normal, boring and relatively mundane things which are nonetheless fascinating.
While we might browse the internet in search of things that will blow our proverbial socks off, sometimes it's nice to detox with a group that Danielle says is satisfying 'like neatly organised sock drawers'.
She reckons that people enjoy the dull things in life more as they get older and noticed that James was a regular poster on the group, where he talks about things like the colour of the light on his kettle.
Spotting that he'd made a post about a woman accidentally adding him on Facebook before saying her finger had slipped, Danielle thought she had to get in on this and added James.
It wasn't long before they started chatting and met up for a date. James had joined the group in May this year and by September was meeting up with Danielle.
Beyond a use for dating, James reckons the Dull Men's Club is also 'genuinely a safe place' on the internet and is better than Google for finding out the answer to things.
If you have a question there's a legion of dull men who've been waiting their whole lives to unleash the bit of niche trivia you need.
Seriously, this place is amazing, there are people chatting about whether there's a step on their stairs they won't stand on.
