10 Worst Dating Cities for Singles
The worst city in the U.S.A. to find a date is Phoenix. The best is Atlanta.

That's the word from the first annual Love@AOL nationwide survey that took the pulse of love to find out not only which cities are sizzling hot--or not--for singles, but also where singles are looking for each other.

Worst Dating Cities for Singles:

Phoenix, Arizona: 20 percent said they don't even like to give Valentine's Day gifts. Ouch.
Denver, Colorado: 48 percent said they are open to long-distance relationships. No doubt.
Seattle, Washington: 59 percent get to know potential matches over a double latte. No nodding off.
Boston, Massachusetts: 28 percent search online personals services while at work. Risky business.
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota: 28 percent said it takes weeks to prepare for Valentine's Day.
Tampa, Florida: 50 percent said they date their friends' and co-workers' exes. Sloppy indeed.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Only 21 percent send flowers with a note on Valentine's Day. Cheap.
Detroit, Michigan: 50 percent have used a cheesy break-up line to end a relationship. Lame.
Houston, Texas: 31 percent of single parents ask the kids before taking a date. When's curfew?
Orlando, Florida: 48 percent said lunch is a popular first date activity. Skip the spinach salad.
Best Dating Cities for Singles:

Atlanta, Georgia: 26 percent opt for a sporting event as their ideal first date activity. Fun!
Los Angeles, California: 43 percent prefer a candlelit dinner for two on Valentine's Day. Romantic.
Cleveland, Ohio: 42 percent like to get to know someone new over drinks. Appletini over here.
New York City: 31 percent said they'd even date their boss. 'Toddlin' town' is right.
Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas: 33 percent said dating in the workplace is just fine. That's a busy city.
Sacramento, California: 64 percent said they don't date friends' and co-workers' exes. True blue.
Miami, Florida: 10 percent will fudge the facts on physical appearance with a date. C'mon now.
Washington, D.C.: 45 percent claim they "just want to be friends." How politically correct.
San Francisco, California: Just 27 percent have said, "It's not you, it's me." Yeah, we know.
Chicago, Illinois: 61 percent said they will date a co-worker. Baby its cold outside!
When it comes to the office, it's not business as usual. According to the Love@AOL survey, workplace romance is alive and well in the United States with 40 percent of those surveyed saying the office is an acceptable place to seek out and woo weekend dates.

Cupid is in the cubicle:

22 percent said they have either searched for or contacted potential dates through an online personals service from a computer at work.
45 percent of men and 35 percent of women say it's okay to meet a mate in the office. Next time you need a dinner date, check the copy room!
11 percent said they would consider dating their boss if he or she wasn't technically their "boss."

I had no doubt Dallas/Ft Worth would be on the list.
If ya'll saw the beautiful young women here you would understand Cool

People traveling in and out of our state [especially men] were commenting about how beautiful the women are in the 70's.
Not knowing about other state but Texas ladies are very conscious of their physical appearance and health. Great Plastic Surgeons here also Wink
