Could you be missing out on love because of where you live? Give our interactive long distance love map a try to find out how many more singles you could meet if you broaden your horizons
Struggling to find someone who shares your interests? One of the best things about online dating is that it breaks down the location barrier so that you can connect with people who share your passions all over the country. By limiting your search for love to within 30 miles of where you live, you could be missing out. In fact, you could increase your chances of finding love by 13% for every extra mile you travel. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the data scientists at Mindshare to create an interactive map that shows just how many more eligible singles you could meet simply by extending your distance parameters.
While shared interests aren’t everything in a long-term relationship, we know that sharing some common ground with your potential partner is a great place to start. Whether you’re looking for a Guardian reader who loves dogs or a football fanatic that spends their free time reading, our long distance love map will show you where to find them. Areas with a high concentration of singles that share your interests are shown in red while the not-so-hot spots are shown in cool blue.
So, what are you waiting for? After all, if you knew that there was someone perfectly suited to you living in a different town or city, wouldn’t it be worth at least connecting with them? In fact, recent research conducted by Mgadt showed that singles are willing to travel 236 miles on average, if it meant meeting their perfect partner.
