Again, it's an average, but the average date costs just less than $45. This is across the board, though; predictably, when broken down by gender, men spent a lot more than women per date. Women spent an average of about $34.29 per date, while men spent an average of about $65.69, they reported. There were also the penny-pinchers — about 20 percent said they spent an average of zero dollars per date, and a whopping 19 people, or almost 2 percent, said they spent more than $500 per date before marriage.
