However, all is not lost. The research also reveals that a further 34 per cent of those who resolved to find a partner succeeded in their mission; albeit at an average cost of £1,667 for the 11 per cent who said it cost them money. Finding true love can also save you money, with a smaller number of love hunters (9 per cent) revealing their search actually saved them an average of £754 last year.
There are more people looking for love in Scotland than anywhere else this year, with seven per cent of Scots having made a resolution to find a partner. London and the North East have the next biggest numbers of love-hungry inhabitants, at 5 per cent each.
Ian Coles, Director for Santander Cards, commented: "Millions of people are looking for love this year. Our research shows that the quest for love can cost a considerable amount of money for some, which could cause financial strain."
