The Average Person Spends Over Five Years and $20,000 on Dating

If you’d just gotten married right after your prom, you’d be able to afford a SWEET Nissan Sentra right now. A new study found the average person spends five-and-a-half years and $20,276 on dating before they meet the person they wind up marrying.  Here are five more results from the study . . .

1.  The average man says his most expensive date cost him $224.  The average woman says her most expensive date cost $93.

2.  The most common thing to do on a date is go to dinner.  The rest of the top five are going to the movies . . . having lunch . . . going for a walk . . . and cooking and eating at home.

3.  20% of men have tried the whole “fake yawn and stretch to put your arm around her” move on a first date.

4.  The top three ways married couples met are through a set up . . . at a bar or club . . . and through online dating.

5.  And finally, three out of four people like dates that involve sitting and eating more than dates involving outdoor activities like hiking.
