Valentine’s Day can be rough on single people. And a BAD DATE might be better than NO DATE.
In a new survey, 61% of single people say they’re willing to go out for a FIRST DATE on February 14th.
65% of single men are into it, compared to 57% of single women. And Gen Z is the most adventurous, with 70% willing to go for it.
The survey didn’t mention this, but it probably helps that Valentine’s Day is a Friday this year, since it’s easier to roll with it as any other “Friday night date.”
The survey also found that 1 in 4 people will celebrate “Galentine’s Day” on Thursday, February 13th. It celebrates love and friendship, particularly among women. So, it’s a time when a group of friends go out for a dinner together. It was popularized by “Parks and Recreation“.
