Calling all singles! Your love life might just depend on where you live — and WalletHub’s new study ranked 182 U.S. cities on how great they are for dating, fun, and actually finding someone worth a second date. They looked at things like the share of single residents, online dating opportunities, nightlife, and even how budget-friendly date nights are.

So who tops the list? Atlanta, GA takes the crown thanks to its bustling restaurant scene, vibrant nightlife, and tons of social options — meaning you’ll never run out of places (or people) to meet. 

But it doesn’t stop there. Other cities killing it for singles include Las Vegas, NV (where the nightlife is as electric as those first-date butterflies), Tampa, FL with its sunshine-soaked beach vibes, Seattle, WA for adventurous spirits, and Denver, CO if you want someone who’s into hikes and happy hours. 

Of course, love can be found in lots of places — Miami, Austin, Portland, St. Louis, San Francisco, and San Diego all cracked the top 20, each bringing its own unique spin on single life. Some cities have great gender balance, others are full of attractions perfect for an epic first date, and a few even help keep your wallet happy on date night. 

And hey, if you’re in a less-than-ideal city for singles… don’t stress! This ranking is just a snapshot of trends, not your destiny. Plenty of people meet their match when they least expect it — at a coffee shop, while hiking their favorite trail, or swiping right at 2 a.m.
