The study, which involved 2,000 adults who have met their Mr or Mrs Right, found that their other half lived an average of just over 40 miles away when they first met.
It was also revealed that while most couples were brought together following a meeting in a pub or bar, arranged through friends, one in three people fell in love and got together with someone who lived just five miles away at the time.
In fact, 38% of respondents fell for someone in the same town, while around one in five found their "true love" in the same village.
Elsewhere in the poll, 16% admitted distance was an issue when they first met their other half, but they knew after three-and-a-half months that they were "the one", so continued with the travelling.
A strict 18% said they have only ever been interested in pursuing relationships with people that live in a 24-mile radius, with the main reason being that long distances relationships simply don't work, while 48% said that long distance relationships were too expensive to consider.
For a fussy 36%, they wanted to settle down with someone from the same area, with the super-picky wanting to marry someone who attended the same school as them.
Benjamin Bak, founder of Lovoo, a location-based dating app that commissioned the survey, said: "When you're single all you can think about is if, and when, you're going to meet the love of your life and where you will meet them.
"This research should be encouraging to anyone hoping to find a partner as it shows that they aren't on the other side of the world or hundreds of miles away.
"Although many couples meet whilst travelling the world or studying far from home, the odds are that we are likely to end up with someone living in the same area."
Mr Bak continued: "Wanting to date someone in the same area is a practical approach to dating.
"Many people find the pressure of long distance relationships too much both financially and emotionally."
