A New Year just might mean a new significant other. But the costs involved in dating aren't created equal. Especially when you factor in the expenses beyond just the date itself, for physical appearance, like haircuts and gym memberships. WalletHub put together the five best and worst cities for dating based on a variety of criteria, including the costs of beauty salons, fitness memberships, bottles of wine and the percentage of singles. The site found gym memberships cost as little as $27 in Boise, Idaho, but as much as $100 per month in New York City. The good news? January tends to be the best time of the year to score on gym memberships and lock in a low rate for the rest of the year, as gyms try to lure in customers looking to get into shape for the New Year.
