New Love Research By The average British woman will kiss fifteen men, enjoy two long-term relationships, and have her heartbroken twice before she meets ‘The One’, a new study revealsBritish researchers found she will also average four disaster dates and be stood up once before she finally settles down with the man of her dreams, but she will also have been in love twice, lived with one partner, and had four one-night stands.In comparison, men face being stood up twice and having six one-night stands before they meet their ideal partners.These statistics are just a great reminder that the path to finding a life partner can be a long and rocky one – and indeed is for most of us. All of those disaster dates, mismatched relationships, and awkward one-night stands may leave you feeling like you’ll never meet your soul mate. But those false starts and heartbreaks must be endured on the journey towards love.A study of 2,000 Brits who say they have already met The One found that women will also go on seven dates – as well as a further two blind dates and two dates with someone they met over the Internet, but men will enjoy eight dates, three blind dates, and meet three people online.The biggest difference between men and women lies in the number of sexual partners with men having ten in their lifetime, compared to an average of seven for women.The study also revealed that men will have six relationships,two of which will last more than a year, while women will have five.Men and women both face getting cheated on once in their quest to find The One, but the average adult will also be the cheater on at least one occasion.I’ve got to say, I find most of these statistics to be very low!Laura Lee Carter, MA Counseling Psychology, the writer behind the popular online magazine Midlife Crisis Queen,has been helping others turn midlife difficulties into opportunities for personal change since 2007.
