It takes less than 20 minutes for the average American to know if they want a second date, according to new research.
The survey of 2,000 single Americans (who are dating and/or looking for a partner) revealed the average respondent knows whether or not they’d like to see someone again at the 19-minute mark of their first date.
That may vary by age, too, as older respondents have higher standards for a potential partner — 67% of Gen Zers said they have high standards, while 77% of Gen X said the same.
When it comes to the date itself, physical appearance is important to 44% of respondents, but a greater value is placed on manners (51%), personality (48%) and conversational skills (47%).
Yeah, I can't remember exactly how long it took me to decide with Opal Fruit - but it was certainly quick! I do remember, after less than half an hour, being in her company just felt completely natural.
What about you? Do you make your mind up quickly?
