NJ ladies, would it bother you if a guy did THIS on a first date?
There’s nothing easy about a first date. What do you wear? What are your conversation starters? Most importantly where do you go?
Is it always important to go somewhere super fancy or is that an outdated tradition?
Let’s face it, going out to a nicer restaurant can be expensive, and when you add in the thought that this might be the only meal you have with that person… I could easily see how it wouldn’t seem worth it.
That said, would you go to a fast-food restaurant on a first date? According to a study done by Dating News, a lot of men would.
Hmm…
The dating site surveyed thousand of respondents across the United States to find out where they would take a date if they’re trying to save a few bucks.
As for the Garden State guys? I only would have successfully guessed one of the top three spots.
Fast food restaurants where men would go for a first date in NJ
3️⃣ Dairy Queen
An ice cream date seems nice and simple, DQ will get the job done, but doesn’t it seem like the place you would go after dinner?
2️⃣ McDonalds
This is the only one that I would have guessed would be popular, I love a McChicken. I don’t know how I’d feel if it was proposed as a first date spot though.
1️⃣ Chick-fil-A
Here’s what Dating News had to say:
The number one choice was Chick-fil-A, with over 16% of respondents saying the family-owned franchise would be their go-to for first-date meals, hoping a juicy chicken sandwich would steal the heart of any would-be lover.
In addition to New Jersey, this choice of fast food was particularly popular with the men of Arkansas, Georgia, and Iowa.
Psshhhh. And people think romance is dead. Turns out it’s just hiding out in fast food restaurants!
I’m curious how other women would feel about being taken to a fast food restaurant for a first date.
Ladies, how would you feel about it? Does someone who takes you to Chick-fil-A on a first date seem like someone who’s going to be given a six digit phone number?
