Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and celebrating it — whether you’re single or taken — is the perfect excuse to have a day full of nothing but love and sweet messages.

A recent study by Crossword Solver, a website for anything crossword puzzles, evaluated millions of tweets in order to find the most loving cities and states in the United States, and one Texas city beat the entire country.

The analysis comprehends a collection of geotagged tweets posted in different countries and cities that included variations of the phrase "love you," such as "love u," and usage of the heart emojis followed by "you" and "u."

The city of El Paso, TX, was given the title of the most loving city in the U.S., as a total of 521 loving tweets were found per 100,000 overall. This place is known for its outstanding community and civil accomplishments, as El Paso has been named an All-America City five times since 1969, according to an El Paso Times publication.
