l-u-v in the a-t-l

Here's some good news if you're reading this from Columbus:

Your best chance for meeting the romantic partner of your dreams could require just a 90-minute drive.

That's because Forbes recently gave Atlanta the No. 1 spot on its list of the best cities for singles.

It's the first time our big-city neighbor earned the distinction, beating places like last year's winner, San Francisco (now No. 2).

I recently recommended the Atlanta meet market to a friend having dating difficulties here. It was a suggestion rooted in zero personal experience, but this list makes me a little more confident in my feigned expertise.

I'm curious, though: Columbus readers, how many of you travel to Atlanta to meet dates? Is it a valid place to find relationships, or does the 90-minute drive make things too long-distance?
