How many times love happens

One out of seven participants didn't think the person they were currently dating was the "love of their life. Additionally, being in a relationship with someone who isn't their "true love" apparently doesn't stop people from continuing to look for the real thing.

Seventeen percent of the adults polled said they had met the love of their life since getting together with their current partner. The results showed it can be hard to find "the one" and although the general perception is that women tend to fall in love more often than men, it was intriguing to see that in reality both men and women fall in love on average two times in their life.

Previous research contradicts this study's findings -- a poll, again of 2, adults, found that the average person fell in love four times in their life.

From people who felt like they fell in love with everyone who walked by them to those who have never felt it, you can see just how different everyone's experiences are. Love lives come in all shapes and sizes. Here's what Reddit users had to say about how many times they've fallen in love.

That is worryingly precise in a way that makes me feel that none of these went well. Not a single one. I warned you — not all of these are quite so positive. Sometimes, love hurts, and sometimes, it hurts enough to turn you off of it for a very long time.

I definitely know these people. They fall in love with whoever walks by — and often believe that they're falling really hard — until it happens again like one hour later.

I feel for the girlfriends. And, actually, I feel for the Redditor, too. Thank you for subscribing!
