The Average Cost of a Date has Risen

That includes dinner and drinks, and an activity.

According to a new report, Americans now spend $189 on an average date…which is a 12.5% increase from just last year.

That’s dinner and drinks, and an activity, like seeing a movie or hitting up topgolf. The average American spent more than $2,300 on dates in the past year, and 65% of people in serious relationships try to divide dating costs evenly…so that neither of them are driven to bankruptcy. Not surprisingly, this hits younger adults the hardest… the ones who are actively going out for dates, and looking to have fun and make an impression. 50% of Gen Z’ers and 40% of Millennials say the cost of dating is getting in the way of reaching their financial goals.
