Like so many things these days, going out to dinner is expensive, and no one knows this better than singles. No one wants to spend $100 on a meal with someone they’re not even sure they like yet, which is why some daters are ditching the fancy restaurants in favor of more laid-back, and more affordable options.
Casual dating can mean casual dining and new research highlights the top choices for those meals.
- A new survey from DatingNews.com asks 3-thousand American men which fast food restaurants they’d take a woman on a first date.
- Their favorite budget-friendly option? Chick-fil-A, which daters in 31 states name as their go-to fast food date spot.

- For 41%, as long as the venue has good vibes and their date wants to have fun, they’re all in.
