A Kellogg’s survey in Australia found that 64% of singles are open to breakfast dates on first meetings, partly driven by the perception that dating has become more challenging due to apps reducing authenticity. Respondents cited affordability as a key factor, with average costs for a first date increasing significantly for millennials and Gen Z. The article highlights how morning meet-ups can alleviate financial and time pressures while offering opportunities for spontaneous activities if things go well.

Story summary
A survey conducted by Kellogg’s in Australia found that 64% of singles are open to meeting for breakfast on their first dates. Over half feel dating is more challenging than before, with 66% believing that dating apps have made it harder to find genuine connections. To alleviate the pressure and expense associated with traditional dinner or evening dates, Australians are increasingly choosing morning meetings over coffee or breakfast. Co-hosts of a Fox News segment, including Emily Compagno and Dana Perino, noted that such early dates are less expensive, less time-consuming, and allow for easier termination if things don’t go well, while still leaving ample time to continue the day if successful.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
