Valentine’s Day is just three days away, and if you’re scrambling quick to partner up with someone to celebrate all things love, just be thankful you live in the Lone Star State.

WalletHub's annual Best and Worst States for Singles report ranked Texas the No. 3 state in the nation for singles!

According to CultureMap Dallas, WalletHub compared and ranked all 50 states based on a number of factors, including their "dating economics" (cost of living metrics and date-related costs like average price for coffee or a haircut), dating opportunities (such as an "openness to relationships" score or the share of single adults), and a romance and fun ranking (calculated based on various entertainment venues and attractions per capita).

Texas came in as the fourth most "romantic and fun" state for singles, and ranked No. 6 for its ample dating opportunities.

The top five best states for singles include:

1 – Florida
2 – New York
3 – Texas
4 – California
5 – Illinois

And the five worst states for singles included:

46 – Alabama
47 – North Dakota
48 – Wyoming
49 – Arkansas
50 – West Virginia
