A new study has now put together the top 50 cities in Europe for single people to live in.

But, what exactly makes a city a great place for dating? The criteria used in this particular survey, conducted by travel company Gig 7, was as follows:

- Highest usage rate of Tinder and/or Badoo dating apps

- Population percentage of single people per capita

- Overall population of city (because you don’t want a date where you’ll bump into that person the next day)

- Data from dating app research on Statista

- Quality of dating scene as voted for by sample of our 1.5million European audience

These are the best (and worst) UK cities to be single in, apparently
