Where is the best place in the world to live single?

Ugh, where is the best place to live single? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? I mean, I’ve been wracking my brain about this for ages, especially since my last disastrous relationship – remember that guy who only ever talked about cryptocurrency? Anyway…

So, everyone keeps saying New York City or London. And yeah, I get it. NYC, supposedly, is bursting at the seams with dating opportunities. A friend of mine, Sarah, actually met her husband – a surgeon – in a coffee shop in Greenwich Village. Crazy, right? But the competition must be fierce! It’s practically a dating Hunger Games. Plus, the rent is insane.

London, on the other hand, sounds amazing culturally. I’ve always dreamed of grabbing a pint at a pub and just… being. You know? Just soaking it all in. But then again, isn’t London also insanely expensive? And what if I end up spending all my time wandering around museums alone, wishing I had someone to share a fish and chips with?

Truthfully, the “best” place is totally subjective. I mean, some people might love the buzzing energy of a big city, while others might prefer a smaller town with a close-knit community. Think about it: Maybe somewhere quieter, with amazing hiking trails and charming local cafes, would be perfect for me, maybe? Someone once told me about this tiny coastal town in Portugal that’s apparently heaven for solo travelers. Sounds kinda idyllic. Less pressure, more… well, me time. But who knows! Maybe I’d get lonely. It’s a whole thing.

So, there’s no magic answer. It depends on what you want, you know? What are your priorities? Do you crave constant action, or peaceful solitude? Figure that out, and maybe – just maybe – you’ll find your own perfect single-person paradise. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Google “charming coastal towns in Portugal”…
