Politics and Passion: Can North Dakotans Date Outside Their Party?

As Valentine’s Day approaches, love is in the air—but so are debates over political preferences. On North Dakota dating apps, you’ll spot the classic wish list: a kind heart, a loyal soul, and maybe a love for outdoor adventures. Yet, among the puppy selfies and emoji-filled bios, a new deal-breaker has emerged: political alignment.

In the Peace Garden State, where politics can be as polarizing as the winter weather, finding a match willing to date across party lines is no small feat. But don’t lose heart this Valentine’s season—a recent poll by DatingAdvice.com offers hope for romantics everywhere.

Can Love Conquer Politics?

The poll surveyed 3,000 singles and found that, nationwide, 63% are still open to dating someone with differing political views. That’s a flicker of light for anyone who believes love can rise above the red and blue divide.

North Dakota’s Valentine’s Divide

Here at home, the numbers paint a more divided picture. Only 38% of singles in North Dakota are willing to date someone from the opposite political party—a sentiment that might leave some lonely hearts searching for common ground.

• Conservative Cupids: Among Republican singles in North Dakota, 50% say they wouldn’t date a Democrat, compared to just 17% of Republican singles nationally.
• Liberal Love: Democratic singles in North Dakota are more open-minded, with only 13% unwilling to date a Republican. That’s a far cry from South Dakota, where 43% of Democratic singles hold firm to political alignment.

Keep the Heart Open This Valentine’s

This Valentine’s Day, let love take the lead. Whether you’re exchanging roses, chocolates, or heartfelt notes, remember: compatibility isn’t always about agreeing on politics. It’s about finding someone who shares your values, respects your views, and makes your heart skip a beat.

So, North Dakotans, would you date across party lines this Valentine’s?
