  • marriage rate
  • divorce rate
  • romantic communication
  • amount spent on Valentine's Day gifts
  • overall happiness
  • openness to love

When it was all said and done, their data indicated Colorado was the 13th most romantic state in the union. What hurts more is that Utah came in 7th. Believe it or not, the state finishing as the #1 most romantic state was Nevada. Coming as no surprise, Kentucky finished dead last.
