It takes men 13 first dates and ten for women – but more than half of these will be classed as a disaster.
The cost of a date soars in the first year of the relationship but will plunge during the second, according to the poll.
‘When you add up the amount you spend before you marry “the one”, the cost can be staggering,’ said Andy Oldham, managing director of cashback site Quidco.com, which commissioned the survey.
‘So it’s no wonder that splitting the cost of courtship is becoming more common.’
He added that the money isn’t spent on the date itself: ‘Many use it as an opportunity to treat themselves to a new outfit, beauty treatment or haircut, not to mention the gift to impress their potential partner.’
