Can’t find a date for Valentine’s Day?

You can bid on one at WhatsYourPrice.com – and you wouldn’t be alone: New Yorkers have been bidding the most to get a date for Thursday.

“Put your money where your mouth is and bid on a chance to fall in love with smart, sexy people, today!” the site promises.

The dating website, where users can bid on dates, reported today that nearly 28,000 New Yorkers have paid women to get a first date for Valentine’s Day in the four weeks before the holiday.

Those New Yorkers spent an average of $143.53, a spokesman for the site said.

New York topped the people looking for the most dates, followed by Los Angeles and Miami.
