No. 1: Chiang Mai, Thailand

Warm weather? Check.
Affordable cocktails? Check.
Potential husband? We’re not saying yes, but we’re not saying no.

Phuket is giving tropical romance with a side of possibility.

No. 4: Orlando, Florida
Who needs a fairy tale castle when Orlando already has dating apps?
Nearly one in five residents actively use platforms like Tinder and Hinge, while more than half the city’s adults are single. Better yet, the average date costs less than $90, making Orlando one of the more affordable options in the United States.
Mickey Mouse not included.
No. 5: Monaco
Monaco may have a reputation for yachts and luxury, but it turns out dating there isn’t as expensive as you’d think.

Love might be a plane ticket away
Being single doesn’t have to mean spending another summer endlessly refreshing your dating apps. Sometimes, all it takes is a passport, a bit of confidence, and an openness to saying yes to whatever happens next. And if all else fails, at least you’ll have a nice vacation story.
