Single Looking to Mingle? Kentucky is the 6th Worst State to Get a Date
Hoping to find a date for Valentine's Day? It may be a challenge this year. WalletHub released its study on 2022's Best & Worst States for Singles, and Kentucky isn't the best state to get a date.
Dating is so difficult no matter how old you are. Putting yourself out there to meet your perfect match can feel impossible. It felt that way for me when I moved here from Michigan. It was a challenge even to make friends. It seemed as though if you didn't grow up here, you'd never fit in. I would compare it to clicks, and Owensboro was one big high school. Those early years were lonely until I met my husband. I instantly gained a great man and a bunch of friends. Looking back, it kind of makes sense. Everyone grew up together and have been friends most of their lives. I can't relate as I moved around a lot for work for most of my adult life. I'm just glad I'm not single in today's world.
Dating in Kentucky
Taking dating too seriously is the wrong approach. So is expecting perfection. It's important to get to know the person before giving up on romance. The discovery stage of the relationship should be the most fun. Well, that depends on what you discover, I guess! WalletHub released its study on 2022's Best & Worst States for Singles, and Kentucky ranked 6th worst in the country. Not a great state to get a date!
