Here’s a surprise: A fast-food chain got the surprising top pick for Massachusetts couples on their first date together! That’s according to a new survey that asked single people how they feel about a fast-food first date.
How would YOU feel about stopping at a burger joint on a first date with somebody you’d like to start a relationship with? The results from the poll show that 54% of men are totally up for it!
Perhaps even more surprising (at least, to me), 66% of women would absolutely agree to it! That’s 2 out of every 3 women. I think that is one of the true indicators that times are definitely changing. The survey was conducted by DatingNews.com.
DatingNews polled 3,000 carefully selected singles for the survey and found some surprising results. The #1 fast-food restaurant choice for a first date? Many of you readers will love this…Chick-fil-A!
A whopping 31 states chose Chick-fil-A as their most popular romantic and budget-friendly option (one of those states is Massachusetts, by the way). Coming in second place? McDonalds. Mickey D’s was #1 in 6 states.
Ready for choice #3? It’s an odd choice, and it’s also one that I would have probably never guessed…Dairy Queen. DQ was the top choice in 5 states, believe it or not. BTW, I have nothing against Dairy Queen, I just thought it was an odd choice.
Some of the other top choices for random states were Wendy’s (#1 in two states), Subway (also #1 in two states, both of which are in New England: Maine and Vermont), and (another one I found odd), Taco Bell was #1 in Hawaii, of all places.
It’s a pretty cool survey. Check it out in full by visiting DatingNews’ website here.
LOOK: Best Beers From Every StateTo find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each.

Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
