Love ain't cheap: Here's where Americans splurge - and skimp -on first dates
Briefly

A recent survey shows first-date expenses vary widely across the U.S., with Northeasterners spending the most at an average of $138.40. Nationwide, singles spend approximately $125.60 on first dates, a trend correlated with local dining and activity options. Although many daters opt for reasonably priced dates, a significant percentage willing to spend over $150 reflects the pressure for lavish outings, particularly among Gen Zers, who rack up the highest costs and frequency of dates annually despite financial pressures.
"How much people spend on a first date could also be influenced by the types of activities and restaurants available in your area..." - Aly Bullock
