Valentine's Day is on the way, and that can bring up all kinds of emotions. Some people love the holiday- especially those in a relationship where chocolates and flowers are involved. Others just see it as a reminder of the single life. Either way, those who want to celebrate Valentine's Day the best way should stay away from one Michigan town, which, reportedly, is one of the worst towns in America to celebrate the holiday.

With the big day coming up quickly, WalletHub has done the homework to determine the worst cities to celebrate Valentine's Day in America.

"With love in the air, WalletHub played cupid to determine the most romantic and cost-effective cities for celebrating Valentine’s Day," they stated. "We compared 100 of the largest U.S. cities across 27 key metrics, ranging from florists per capita to forecasted precipitation to cost of a three-course meal for two."

As it turns out, Detroit is at the bottom of the list at No. 98 out of 100. That's not good, to say the least. Detroit also has one of the fewest jewelry stores per capita, according to the study, at No. 97. Finally, Detroit is tied for the worst highest average ticket price for Valentine's Day. Find the full study here.

Valentine's Day is upon us, and that means one thing: It's time to crank up some great metal songs about love! Read on for my list, and hit me up on social media with your favorites!
