Dating in Alabama.
Rocket City, Magic City and a Gulf Coast, all within one state.
Alabama's singles are spread across a handful of mid-sized metros rather than one big city. Huntsville draws engineers and defense workers, Birmingham has the largest metro and a growing food scene, and Tuscaloosa and Auburn fill up with students every fall. Between them sit small towns where church, football and family still shape the social calendar.
