By Jill Bourque – February 1, 2018

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, thoughts to turn to panic. Sorry, I mean love. But, seriously the Big V Day can be a stressful holiday for couples trying to keep the spark in their relationship. We wanted to know what the current state of affairs was for date night. So, here are the results of our first annual “State of the Date Night” Survey.

A majority of those surveyed (44%) believe date night is important, and a whopping 65% think a good first date is VERY important for a new relationship. Most folks spend about $50 to $100 on date night, and 46% share the planning. Dinner is the top choice for most, with theater second, with “Netflix & Chill” ranking above comedy and concerts.
