Read our privacy policy Single Britons spend an average of £1,349 on dating every year, according to a survey. The survey of 2,000 single adults by dating app Plenty of Fish also found daters spend up to 55 minutes getting ready for a date – and a proportion of that time is spent snooping the potential suitor online and checking out the security of the location. “However, once on the date, a modest meal out or trip to the pub doesn’t have to cost the earth.” The study found men spend more money on pre-date preparation – a hefty £74.07 compared to women spending £53.14. Shannon Smith added: “While we can feel under pressure to sweep new love interests off their feet with lavish date ideas, it’s clear from our research that some of the simplest and cheapest activities can be the ones we enjoy the most.” SWNS
