What is your ideal date? From choosing the perfect destination, to that all-important outfit, we all want to impress on a date. But what about our finances?

A recent study has revealed the average cost of dating around the world, with costs ranging from £71.40 in Madrid to a purse stretching £119.42 in NYC.

We understand that’s a lot of money, especially if you’re an online dating enthusiast and have numerous dates every month.

So just what do you get for your money - the study is based on two cinema tickets, a meal for two, a drink each and a taxi ride home...
