For retired singles looking for love, Florida has all the right places -- or at least most of them.

A new survey by the 50-plus dating website OurTime.com ranks the Top 10 U.S. Cities for Retired Singles Looking for Love. Seven are in Florida:

1. Ocala
2. Cape Coral
3. Bradenton
4. Delray Beach

5. Mesa, Ariz.
6. Naples
7. Clearwater
8. Boynton Beach
9. Vancouver, Wash.
10. Salem, Ore.

OurTime compiled user data to determine which cities had the highest concentration of older adults looking for a mate. It's not exactly shocking that Florida dominates the list. A whopping 17.6 percent of Floridians are over age 65, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That's a higher proportion than any other state. Plus, with all those dazzling sunsets and long walks on the beach, it's hard not to feel amorous.

And they say Virginia is for lovers...
