Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A?
That makes sense, I guess. What other fast food place is fancy enough?
In the survey, Dairy Queen, Sonic Drive-In and Pizza Hut followed Chick-fil-A.
You call this affordable?
It’s rather strange men chose possibly the most expensive fast-food place as their top pick, but what other options do they have?
The average price of a Chick-fil-A combo meal is about $13. That’s a $26 date. In comparison, Sonic Drive-In combo meals are on average $6. That’s about a $12 date.
Men, women likely to say yes to fast-food date
According to the survey, 54% of men and 66% of women would say yes to a fast-food date.
First dates appear to be more casual nowadays, so it makes sense the first place to go is a fast-food restaurant. The survey also said 41% of people are fine with going anywhere as long as it has good vibes and the date is committed to making it fun.
