You're most likely to be ghosted in this city on Valentine's Day

Man Waiting for a Date

For many guys, Valentine's Day can be a landmine of ways to piss off your girlfriend. From picking the perfect gift (it all depends upon how long you've been dating) to planning a fantastically cliché date (totally worth it), plenty of things can go wrong.

But nothing inspires greater feelings of dread and despair than the fear of being ghosted. And while you might not be surprised to learn that ghosting is fairly common, you might be keen to discover that ghosting is more prevalent in certain cities—especially on what's supposed to be the most romantic day of the year.

People in Detroit are most likely to bail on their pre-made Valetine's Day plans with a 15.2% no-show rate, while couples in Minneapolis are most likely to keep their commitments, according to data from Resy, a popular reservation app.
