The Best Cities For Singles In North Carolina

The other day, I heard a friend say, “cuffing season is near.” While I laughed, I couldn’t help but think…this is true. It is nice to have a special someone to go to pumpkin patches with, coordinate matching Halloween costumes, and keep you warm on cool nights. Now that I think about it, fall is a really cute season to have a boyfriend.

Aside…North Carolina is pretty diverse when it comes to L-O-V-E. But Cupid is guaranteed to find you in these seven cities.

Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and also has a large percentage of young professionals, age 23-30, who call the Queen City home. While there is BIG debate over just how dateable Charlotte is, your chances are pretty good. Stick to neighborhood bars and not Uptown or night clubs if you really are seeking someone genuine.
