Yeah, the article (perhaps intentionally, for clicks) misreads the underlying survey as being about first dates when it’s actually about all dates. Dates with someone you’re already fucking and sleeping over with is going to be a bit different to budget for, compared to first dates (which the second study they quote says is at around $93).
