Dating can be rough in 2018. There’s all sorts of things that can go wrong, and you never know what to expect. I mean online dating is essentially like blind dates every time, you never know what to truly expect.
If you are on the dating scene you might go to a few dates every month and if you’re a dude the cost can rack up. Match.com said that an average person spends about $1596 a year on dates! When you break it down each date costs roughly about $102.32.
24/7 Wall St. took the math a bit further and searched for the average cost of movie tickets, a bottle of wine, and two dinners in each state and came up with what each person is spending on average.
Hint: If you live in New York I’m sorry. You might just want to buy a plane ticket to South Dakota and take your date there.
