If you’ve ever thought, “There’s nobody out there for me,” the U.S. Census reports that there are actually over 100 million singles! That's about 44 percent of American adults. Some other interesting stats include:

• In general, there are 86 unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women, although out West the gender ratio favors women. Cities where gals got it good include Austin, Fort Lauderdale, Tempe, Sunnyvale and Santa Ana.
  
• The best places for single people to live are New York, where 50 percent of state residents are unmarried, and Washington, D.C., where a whopping 70 percent of the population is single. The worst states are Idaho, where 60 percent of people are married, and Utah, where it is 59 percent.
• Only 9 percent of women and 2 percent of men say they’ve found a relationship at a bar or club. So if you’re lonely and looking, you’re better off hitting on the hot barrista at Starbucks. Better yet, join an online dating site!
• Got someone  in your sights and want to reveal your interest? 23 percent utilize the schoolyard approach and send the word out through a friend.
• On a date, first impressions do count: Men take only 15 minutes to decide if a woman is worth a second date. Women will ponder for an hour or so.
• Being bashful will get you nowhere. Women and men who post their photos on online dating sites receive more than twice as many e-mails as those without photos.
