D.C. is the second best city in America to be a single person, NerdWallet claims, yet you are somehow still alone.

The 2012 American Community Survey estimates D.C.’s unmarried population at 73.3 percent, the fourth-highest for U.S. cities. (It breaks down pretty evenly between men and women, but this changes when you calculate how many people live alone.) With so many unmarried people, NerdWallet posits, a single person should be able to find a match. Couple that with a low unemployment rate — although they cite the 4.9 percent rate for the metro area, not D.C.’s 8.1 percent rate — the cost of a date (defined as two movie tickets, one 12-inch Pizza Hut pizza and one 1.5-liter bottle of cheap wine), and the number of bars per resident, D.C. comes out ahead of New York, Detroit and Baltimore.

So why aren’t you splitting a Pizza Hut pizza with another lonely heart? Are you afraid of being hurt again? Do you really hate Pizza Hut?
