Survey: Singles Aren't Dreading Valentine's Day Dining
USAgNet - 02/12/2016
According to a survey conducted by OpenTable, the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations and part of The Priceline Group, many singles (42%) across the country are looking forward to dining out in celebration of Valentine's Day this year.
"Contrary to popular belief and defying misconceptions about their Valentine's Day habits, singles are getting comfortable with dining out on Valentine's Day regardless of relationship status," said Caroline Potter, Chief Dining Officer at OpenTable.
The survey also revealed that almost half of the singles (46%) who plan to dine out for Valentine's Day plan to share their experiences on social media with one in five (21%) planning to share dish photos.
Singles may help restaurants fill their larger tables on Valentine's Day this year as one in three singles (35%) plan to dine with multiple platonic friends or family members.
More than half (59%) of the singles surveyed are fine with couples' PDA at the table, saying it is okay to feed your date a bite of food, à la Lady and the Tramp. However, singles are less enthusiastic about the concept of Valentine's Day marriage proposals with
one in three (36%) indicating that any day of the year would be better, whereas only one in four (25%) of married respondents shared this sentiment.
For diners still searching for the right restaurant, OpenTable recently released its list of the Top 100 Most Romantic Restaurants in America for 2016. OpenTable also released a list of the Most Romantic Cities in America for 2016. Diners can also find more
tips and trends regarding Valentine's Day on the OpenTable Blog as well as details about our #savorthelove Valentine's Day giveaway.
