Research revealed that men were more likely to exaggerate this number (£86.43) when compared to women’s estimation of £65.29 per date.

Those in the 25-34 age range are likely to splash the cash, spending the most (£126.88), whereas the older generation (aged 65 and over) are more money-conscious, typically spending the least (£43.41).
