Honest question: is DFW a good city for single people?

Moving to DFW next month from Chicago for work. I am 28, single, and I know nobody. Is this a good city to be single in?

Specifically I want to know:

1. Where should a single 28-year-old live? I work in Plano but I have heard living in Plano as a single person is bleak.

2. What is the dating scene like? Coming from Chicago where there are neighborhoods full of young professionals within walking distance.

3. How do you meet people without apps?

4. Is the "you need a car for everything" thing as bad as people say?

5. What is the social scene like? Chicago has neighborhood bars where regulars become friends. Does DFW have that?

Budget for rent is $1,600-$1,800. I do not know anyone. I need honest answers, not tourism board marketing.

Help.
