Finding love can be tough. Nearly 46% of the U.S. adult population is unmarried (never married, divorced, or widowed), according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and dating has become progressively more expensive as the prices of dining out and other date activities have increased over the years. How does that impact the best and worst cities for singles in the U.S.?
