Tampa is on the list for best cities for singles. And they rank pretty high on the list. This ranking comes from Wallethub who released their list of the best and worst cities for singles in 2024 the way they came up with the list as they ranked 182 United States cities on 35 key indicators. Some of those being dating friendliness, including the cost of a restaurant meal for two and the nightlife options per capita.
Tampa came in #7 as one of the best cities for singles in 2024. So they break it down into three different categories. One of them being economics but Tampa came in 103rd in that category. Additionally, for fun and recreation they came in 13th overall. Finally in the dating opportunities Tampa came in number 46th.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 47% of U.S. adults are unmarried (either never married, divorced or widowed), but 57% of single adults aren’t looking for a relationship or even casual dating right now. Cassandra Happe, WalletHub Analyst, says, “Where you live can have a big impact on your love life – if a city has a high population of singles and is packed with activities that you’ll enjoy, then you’ll have a better chance to meet someone with similar interests and can go on higher-quality dates. In the current economy, a city that minimizes costs through inexpensive restaurants and venues, plus free things to do, is especially attractive.”

You know what I have always wanted to do? Remember when Serena Williams told her husband that she wanted Italian food, and then they flew to Venice? I would love to be able to do that as well. Could you imagine? How much does something like that cost? When you have millions it does not matter, right?
Ok so I prefer 100% authentic but I do eat at Americanized Italian restaurants often. I love Olive Garden and Carrabba’s! The chicken alfredo from both of these restaurants is everything. I also love the breadsticks and salads from Olive Garden.
