There's a new trend in dating.

It's called 'choremancing' - which combines dating with everyday tasks like going to the supermarket and walking the dog.

Dating website Plenty of Fish's latest annual survey found that 42 per cent of singles now combine first dates with everyday tasks, including going to the gym.

58 per cent people had gone out dates while dog walking, with 25 per cent dating in the gym and 21 per cent while doing the weekly shop.
