Mass. — Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and it doesn’t look good for people who live in Massachusetts.

According to a new study by ‘Bet Massachusetts,’ The Bay State has been ranked as loneliest state on Valentine’s Day.

‘Bet Massachusetts’ used google trends to look at what people in states were searching for on the most popular dating apps “Tinder,” “Bumble” and “Hinge” on Feb. 14 the past three years.”

The site reports that Mass is ranked as so lonely because “Boston is considered a lonely city.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently looked at 170 cities with a population of at least 150,000 and the number of one-person households over a 5-year period to see if singles were hooking up and moving in with each other, or staying apart.

Washington D.C. came in as most lonely and Boston was ranked No. 30.

23.1% of women in Boston live by themselves as opposed to only 15.3% of Boston men.
