A website analyzed the 110 largest U.S. cities to determine the best cities for dating, considering stuff like dating opportunities, cost of living, quality of life and interest in dating.

And sitting at dead last, number 110 out of 110 cities is Colorado Springs, Colorado. The website says this about Denver’s neighbor to the south; “Sorry, nature lovers! Colorado Springs ranks as the worst U.S. city for dating. One major problem is that its social spots are just less dense compared with in our top-ranked cities. That means it’s not only harder to meet new people at a bar or restaurant — it’s also harder to snag a reservation that will impress your date.”

Denver came in at number 35 on the list.

1.  Rochester, New York

2.  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

3.  Boston, Massachusetts
