- And language isn’t a barrier for some with 38% of people willing to date someone who doesn’t speak the same language as them.
- Another 72% would be open to learning a new language for love.
- And singles in the UK seem to be quite generous to dates, with 45% saying they send gifts to potential dates before an in-person meet, while singles in most other places wait until or after the first date.
- And when it comes to spending money on first dates, those in North America spend the most, on average about $300, followed by Europeans, who spend about $150.
