... Dates 'costing' UK men Dates 'costing' UK men


16 June 2008

Men are finding the dating game increasingly hard on their pockets, according to new research.


The average man forks out £50 for a date, with a significant number (41 per cent) even willing to go into debt in order to give their dream girl a dream date.

Many men responding to a National Savings & Investments (NS&I) Quarterly Savings Survey said they would be prepared to borrow from friends or relatives to fund a date, the Herald reports.

Commenting on the survey, senior savings strategist at NS&I, Dax Harkins, said: "Dating costs a lot. Men need to keep at least a few of their thoughts on money when they're trying to impress so they don't end up overspending."

But for many men, spending a lot is synonymous with impressing and all men are out to impress when they meet a girl romantically for the first time.

But men should take note that for most women, it's more about what is on the inside than how much a man can splash his cash.

While diamonds are a girl's best friend and girls love to be lavished, they would be happier with a man who loved them with all their hearts than one who thought the key to her heart was an expensive meal and flowers.
