PALM DESERT, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- In case you've been hiding under a rock, the Super Bowl is in town. A long-anticipated day, filled with camaraderie, passion, competition, celebration, and occasionally disappointment. This might not sound like the ideal setting for a romantic meet-up, but if you have successfully drafted a date for the big event, some pre-game advice is at hand to help get in the end zone, avoid embarrassing fumbles, and score the ultimate touchdown.
It's Just Lunch (IJL), the premier international dating service for busy professionals, announces the results of their Super Bowl Sunday Survey providing insight in to men's and women's psyche, and expert tips for how to have a successful Super Bowl date? just in time.
- 58% of singles say that they would bring a first date to a Super Bowl party, so you stand in good company. If you haven't booked that date yet, get to it.
- Among singles, loyalty is key. 74% of men and 82% of women stated that they will root against their date's team at the Super Bowl party. This means you need to be ready for some competition in the room, not just on the screen. Our advice? Let your date know in advance that your emotions can run high, but that you know it's just a game.
- Room etiquette ? gabbing on the sidelines is fine, but when you are in front of the screen, all singles (men and women) are serious about the big game.
- If their date was talking during the game, 52% of singles would quickly talk to their date, but would want to turn all conversation back to football.
- And if the talk continues? 8% of all singles would never ask their date out again, while 31% of men would ask them out again, but never to a sporting event.
- 17% of women would ask their date to "be quiet" so they could focus on the game, and interestingly, only 9% of men would quiet their dates. So if you do get "shushed," with these statistics, chances are you are talking too much and should get back to (playing) the game.
You know the rules: now take the ball and run with it. But please, no Super Bowl shuffle.
