Looking for love this Valentine’s Day? Here’s what Philly daters really want

We all know Philadelphia is the “City of Brotherly Love,” but add in the fact that today is Valentine’s Day, and you have yourself a lot of amore. Which is great and all if you’re attached, but if you’re single, today is just another day you’re navigating the often treacherous and confusing waters of dating.

If you’re wondering why you might not have found The One or The One for Right Now, we have some inside info about Philly daters from Match.com’s eighth annual “Singles in America” survey.
