Sadly, a third of Brits have admitted that their partner has never cooked them a romantic meal.
Fortunately, there is a silver lining as 82 per cent of men said they have occasionally cooked a romantic meal for their partner.
Despite trying to be romantic, men admitted that even though they would cook the meal, they often would cook the same one over and over as their ‘speciality’ dish.
The research from Zoosk.co.uk also shows that 59 per cent of Brits would eat anything their partner cooked for them, making the possibilities endless.
Jane Barrett, Director of Marketing and Communications at Zoosk said, “We hope our survey results encourage more people to experiment with their dishes when inviting a date over for dinner.
“When it comes to wooing a potential partner, however you choose to do it; food can certainly be a guaranteed way to impress.”
When it came to impressing a partner with food, chocolate was seen to be the way to go with 37 per cent opting for the delicious food.
Chef Tess Ward thinks that chocolate is the right way to go when trying to impress a date and get your romantic juices flowing.
She said, “Eating chocolate releases phenylethylamine and serotonin, two chemicals that stimulate pleasure centres and create uplifting and asphrodesiac effects so I would recommend buying fresh strawberries with their ends dipped in melted dark chocolate then leave to set. Satisfaction of both parties is guaranteed.”
As well as chocolate, oysters are meant to be one of the biggest aphrodisiacs yet only 3 per cent of Brits were willing to try them!
An embarrassed 22 per cent of people admitted that whilst they had had a meal cooked for them, they had actually spilled then entire thing down themselves!
