So, you'd think that the cold weather in Minnesota would make for more cuddly romance, but it isn't panning out that way. Maybe our stoic Scandinavian roots have something to do with it. What happened to the saying, "Cold hands, warm heart? " We have to pile on the flannel pajamas and hats to keep warm in our cold state.

A study from a popular online bookie site revealed that Minnesota ranks among the least romantic states in the nation.  Who would've thought?  Minnesota is known for its harsh winters, but it turns out that love doesn't just bloom under harsh conditions.

West Virginia, on the other hand, tops the list of the most romantic states in 2025.  Virginia is for lovers, but not anymore.

Now, let's talk about what love means.  People may think romance is all about fancy dinners and candy or flowers.  But for folks here, romance can be as simple as scraping off the snow from a spouse’s car before work.  For some people, that's love!

But hey, if romance does involve a fancy dinner out this Valentine's Day, it would be a good idea to book a table.  Book early because Valentine's Day is on a Friday this year, and things will be busy.

There’s more to the story than just the weather.  The list tells us a lot about the different ways people around the country show love.  In some parts, it's about grand gestures, while in others, it's the little things that count.
