Massachusetts isn’t just home to the Red Sox, clam chowder, and wicked smart schools. It’s also packed with eligible singles.

The state is flooded with a high percentage of single adults, making it easier to find someone who shares your love for Dunkin’ runs and weekend getaways to the Cape.

The gender ratio is balanced, online dating is thriving, and people here are genuinely open to relationships. So if you’ve been feeling like your dating pool is a little dry, it might be time to cast your net in the Bay State (if you're not from the area, of course).

Bank Accounts & Romance: A Winning Combo

Let’s be real, dating isn’t cheap.

Massachusetts singles have an advantage, however; high median incomes and strong job opportunities mean more financial freedom for fun nights out (or a splurge-worthy first date). Plus, high credit scores give an extra boost to that “responsible and put-together” dating profile.

With a healthy and happy community, Massachusetts singles aren’t just thriving financially, they’re feeling good, too.

Date Night? You’ll Never Run Out of Ideas

From cozy seaside dinners to hiking in the Berkshires of Massachusetts serves up endless date-night possibilities.

Want something more exciting?

Boston’s nightlife is buzzing, and there’s no shortage of concerts, museums, and food festivals to explore together. Even better, the state ranks well for online dating safety, so if you’re looking for love in the digital world, you can do it with a little extra peace of mind.

Final Verdict: Massachusetts Is a Keeper

Sure, the cost of living is a bit high, but Massachusetts makes up for it with high wages, endless entertainment, and a dating scene that’s full of possibilities.

If you’re single and looking for love, it’s not a bad place to be.

Of course, if you’re after sunshine and sandy beaches, Florida claimed the No. 1 spot (because apparently, love thrives in warm weather). Meanwhile, West Virginia came in dead last, so maybe keep that in mind if you're considering a move.
