The Top U.S. Metros to Find Love

Relocating for a career opportunity is fairly common, but what about moving to increase your odds of finding a soulmate? Zillow recently revealed the best metros to find love. The rankings are based on the population of single residents and the number of single newcomers. Other factors in the mix include the number of date spots, like restaurants and bars, and the median income of residents 18 and older.

Boston secured the top spot with 66 percent of its population consisting of singles and a staggering 159 romantic meeting places per 10,000 people. Despite the steep cost of apartments, Boston singles, with a median income of $25,000, have a little more dough to spend on their dates.

New Orleans may have a party reputation, but it also ranks as the second-best place in the U.S. to find a match. Fifty-nine percent of NOLA residents are single, and there are 51 date spots per 10,000 residents.

As Zillow’s research indicates, finding a partner may also help offset the high costs of housing. Although married couples represent 60 percent of home buyers, the number of unmarried couples transitioning to home ownership is climbing. In 2015, unmarried couples represented 15 percent of all home buyers compared to 11 percent a decade ago. Meanwhile, the percentage of single home buyers dropped from 31 percent to 25 percent between 2010 and 2015. With two incomes, setting aside money for a down payment is significantly easier given the current trend of rising home prices nationwide.

Check out the full breakdown of metros where love, and perhaps homeownership, is on the horizon.

Why He Loses Interest?

For years women have been told to play hard to get and the man will chase her. This is terribly wrong. If I am pursuing a woman I am interested in and asked her out 3 -4 times and each time she was unavailable, well I can promise you I am not going to ask her out again because she is clearly not available for dating. No matter how much I like someone, I can't pursue someone that is not available.

But, when you are being yourself and available why do men lose interest?

Men are losing interest because you are not making them feel something on your dates. What does that mean?

Let me break it down into a list:

1. You need to have the top 5 qualities he is looking for in a partner. For example, maybe he wants someone compassionate, good conversationalist, handles problems well, positive attitude, and comes from a big great family. (If he ends up not pursuing you because you don't have his 5, no sweat, maybe he didn't have your 5 either. Onto the next guy)

2. If you are enjoying yourself, make him feel that. How do you do that? I will never forget my 3rd date with my now live in girlfriend. We just spent a day at the beach and were walking back to the car. She said, "This is the best date of my life." I said, "What!? You are Joking?" I remember thinking, I am sure some charming guy must have one upped me with a vacation to the Alps, with a romantic dinner, and maybe even being serenaded by Boys to Men or something spectacular. Quite, frankly to this day I am sure someone in her past must have done something amazing.

But, it doesn't matter, at this point in her head and in my mind that moment forever lives as the best date of her life and mine. At that very moment I felt something. I felt, happy, excited, and successful.

What did all this mean to me?

1. It made me think that I could plan simple dates, be myself, and I can make this woman happy.

2. If it is this easy to make her have the time of her life, maybe she is the right person to spend the rest of my life with because I can be successful with her.

So how can this be used in your life?

If you go on an amazing date, don't be afraid to tell him and definitely don't be afraid to use exponential superlatives. Feel free to say it was the best date of your life. Say this is the best beach you have ever been to. Say, this is the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. These types of statements will heighten situations and allow events to be more fun and more memorable.

Sometimes people are afraid to use all encompassing adjectives but when it comes to fun moments, they can increase fun levels. So if you want your guy to never lose interest, when you have a great date, tell him and be more emphatic about it than any other girl has ever been. When he feels like he has been the only person to provide this amazing of a date, well he will be intrigued by you, want to learn more about you, and most likely try to one up his date next date. I know that happened for me.

On the fourth date I was told that date was now the best date of her life. At this point I was hooked on her personality and the fact that I finally felt a supreme level of success in providing happiness for another person. There was no way I was losing interest from this point forward and guess what, it was just her being herself and making me feel successful. Pretty easy! You can do it too.

How To Meet High Quality Men (1 Way You Never Would Have Thought Of That Actually Works)

Online dating, bars, friends, religious groups, the gym. These are all good ways to meet men. However, there must be a great alternative option that gives you an immediate leg up. There is!

My idea is very easy. Find a meetup group, sport, or any activity people meet at that you are not particularly good at and start attending regularly.

Why are you doing this?

Men crave to feel needed by women in a world women RARELY need men.

So how do you accomplish this phenomenon?

Simple, join that Jui Jitsui class. Attempt to learn and when you struggle ask the good looking single guy if he can help you. (Men LOVE giving advice and teaching)

Once he teaches you something, perhaps you catch his eye and then you can get to know each other. If not, you can always try it on the next guy.

Now this idea may seem like a lot of work. Well, it is. So I would suggest picking an activity you would like to learn. Also, manage your expectations. Even if you don't meet a guy, you got your butt out of the house and did something you may have never done. Not to mention, if you stick with this activity, eventually you are going to get good at it. Once you are good at another activity, you are a more well rounded and interesting person.

If a guy gets a date with you via online dating and you tell him you can do jui jitsua, the right guy might be very interested and intrigued.

So basically, you are either getting a date or becoming more attractive to potential suitors. Sounds like a win/win situation.
