Love, they say, is tricky business. But for those sitting at home alone, crying into their microwavable dinner, our readers have the answer. Memorial University won as the best place to meet a new lover. We only hope any older voters are abiding by the half-your-age-plus-seven rule.

Once you’ve met him or her, what then?

Well, voted best first date was simply dinner somewhere casual. (Perhaps Best Of winners Folly or The Sprout?)

After impressing your date with your insightful take on global issues and/or your ability to balance a spoon on your nose, all you need is a place to smash your faces together. Signal Hill once again won for best place to make out. Makes one wonder if the fog that often covers the hill is in fact the product of kissing couples. Most likely.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, and our readers have you covered there as well. Voted as best place to break up was George Street. Is it the safety of such a public space? Or the readily-available liquid courage? Whatever the reason, you should let him or her down easy. And when they ask how they’ll ever find someone like you, tell them that the best place to look is Memorial.
