The Average Date Costs $180
Being in the dating world can be expensive. You've got tons of things to consider from grooming yourself and to the actual date itself.
The Daily Mail reports on a survey, done by Match.com, and found that the average date today costs $180. The biggest cost went towards food/drink and entertainment, but this is how it was broken down:
- Entertainment/meals/drinks: $98
- Clothes: $29
- Getting a haircut/done, and other cosmetics: $18.25
- Transportation: $14.50
- a Gift: $9
- Something to eat at the end of the night: $7.25
- Contraceptives: $4
Does spending around $180 sound about right? How much is appropriate to spend on a date?
Maybe if we all lowered our standards a bit dating wouldn't be so expensive.
