Marriage season is almost here and even the most steadfast singles can’t help but think about the possibility of finding their true love. With the proliferation of online dating sites and apps, meeting people has become easier than ever before, but many feel that meeting the right person is now even harder due to greatly increased competition.
That difficulty, however, is slightly tempered in cities where the single population is higher and in areas a higher percentage of singles are looking for long-term commitments.
According to a new study by ApartmentList.com, Charlotte is now the 9th best dating city for women and the 10th best dating city for men in America.
The Queen City ranked just behind Washington, DC for women and just behind Miami, FL for men;
