You should try Philly since its half way between NYC and DC. As for Charlotte it seems like a place if your looking into compromise and settle down compared to the northeastern cities. But then again northeast has better nightlife and car free entertainment.
I often get flack for this, but, having moved from NYC to DC, I think the NYC dating scene is overrated. Maybe I'm just looking for something different, but NYC wasn't doing it for me...
Upon seeing the headline I was going to say, "NYC or DC if you can afford them," but then I read your post where you say you can't. Personally Chicago would be my next choice, but if you insist on the East Coast, maybe Boston? I'm not a fan of newer sprawlier cities like Atlanta or Charlotte (or of the South in general, for that matter).
Philly --a lot of crime and overall sort of dirty in my opinion.
Philly is a very large place with neighborhoods that are completely stunning with charm that only europe has. Living in Philly is a very romantic lifestyle imo and from personal experience low crime actually. Dating / compatibility choices are endless, ton of culture diversity etc.
I beg the differ on Philly. My DH is from there and although it has a few nice places including center city, much of it has gone downhill and is ghetto. It's dirty to me. It has lots of crime and drugs. I don't mean to offend anyone but that's just what it feels to me. I'm from PA as well but I like the south better. It's more affordable, nice climate, decent nightlife and much more. You can find much of the things you find up north. Atlanta is another good choice as well if you can afford it. Both Atlanta and Charlotte have light rail as well.
All age groups and rungs of the social ladder are well represented in the Boston area.
Boston definitely is a very nice city with many attractive single women. However, the cost of living is not much different than D.C. and NYC.
I would probably try Philly if I were the OP and wanted to stay on east coast.
I actually would venture further and look south.
Many great cities that are affordable in the south.
