Dallas-based Match.com went in search of the major U.S. cities where a romantic night out won't break the bank.

Unfortunately Dallas-Fort Worth didn't crack the top 10.

Pittsburgh topped the list with a casual dinner and two movie tickets costing $77.80.

The most expensive city on the list was Los Angeles with the same date night costing $126.06.

Dallas-Fort Worth ranks 20th on the list beat by such cities as Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, Seattle and Houston.

Here's the complete list from Match.com:

1. Pittsburgh
2. Detroit
3. Sacramento
4. Phoenix
5. Indianapolis
6. St. Louis
7. Tampa
8. Orlando
9. Houston
10. Charlotte
11. Atlanta
12. Denver
13. Cleveland
14. Miami
15. Portland
16. Minneapolis-St. Paul
17. Seattle
18. Philadelphia
19. Boston
20. Dallas-Fort Worth
21. Washington, D.C.
22. Chicago
23. New York
24. San Francisco
25. Los Angeles

We have to ask, what a "casual dinner" is to the folks at Match.com. DFW doesn't seem that expensive to us, then again, maybe we're cheap dates!

More information from a service for people that have no social skills or live in their mom's above garage apartment.. Listen, if You cannot find someone and develop a lasting relationship on your own, what makes you think paying a service to do it will create a better chance for you? Whether it is cheaper to dine out here if you meet someone on their service or not, it doesn;t make it any less true that only real social losers use these services. Kinda like the 90's when the mail-order brides from Russia and the Ukraine were all the rage."}],"error":"","totPages":1}
