Fun Fact

The most successful first dates according to dating studies are those that involve novel activities rather than just dinner and drinks. Couples who go on 'experience dates' (like cooking classes, escape rooms, or hiking) report 70% higher satisfaction rates than traditional dates. The key is choosing activities that allow for natural conversation and shared experiences that reveal personality traits.

By The Numbers

Americans spend an average of $127 on a first date, with coffee dates being the most popular (34% of first dates) followed by dinner dates (28%) and drinks (18%). However, studies show that couples who engage in novel, activity-based first dates have 2x higher chances of going on a second date. The dating app Bumble reports that 78% of millennials prefer 'experience dates' over traditional dinner dates for better conversation flow and genuine connections.
