Poll: Your Dating Activity

Thus Far This Year?

by Vern Anderson and Isaac Salem

Here’s a poll of  857 single women from across the country who answered a questionnaire on their individual dating activity from January 1st thru August 15th. They ranged in age from 22-44.

34%   did not go on a romantic date.

13%    did not go out with the same person twice.
Best Quote:  “Either he never called again or I didn’t answer the phone.”

28%     fell in love.
Best Quote: ”I fell in love with him on the first date when he leaned across the table and wiped spaghetti sauce off my chin.”

43%    went out at least once with someone they met at a wedding.
Best Quote:   “Weddings are the best parties to meet single men because they seldom bring a woman along.”

37%     went on at least two unsuccessful blind dates.

39%     asked a guy out, but only 13% had good results.
Best Quote.  “I don’t know how men do it.  My ego can’t take rejection.  I’ll never do it again.  I believe men prefer to do the asking.”

41%     frequently shared the expense of a date.
Best Quote:  “I’m not going to let money stand in the way of a good time.”

21%     ended up dating someone they met while shopping.

17%     stopped seeing a guy and didn’t tell him why.

38%     had unprotected sex.
Best Quote:  “I used to be really stupid about unprotected sex until I contracted a sexually transmitted disease.”
