A BMO Financial Group survey put the average U.S. cost of a date at $189, up 12.5% from the same period the prior year.
Last summer, Winston Jules spent his weekends taking dates to nice New York City restaurants and bars with $20 cocktails.
These days, the 26-year-old Brooklyn resident might opt for a picnic in Prospect Park. The medical receptionist lives with his mother and helps pay rent—one of his biggest expenses—and is looking for savings where he can find them, including on the dating scene.
“I’ve gone on a little walk just to get to know each other, or got ice cream,” Jules said, recounting some recent experiences. He has cut back on dating in general, too, along with fewer meals and other adventures with friends.
“I’ve kind of been sacrificing being social lately just to be financially stable,” he said.
For young Americans, casual dating is as easy as swiping right on an app, but prices can quickly add up. A BMO Financial Group survey conducted over about a month, starting at the end of December, put the average cost of a U.S. date at $189. That number—which covers things like an outfit, transportation and dinner—rose 12.5% from the same period the prior year.
According to BMO, among Gen Z and millennial daters, 50% and 40%, respectively, said that these costs interfere with their financial goals.
