Believe it or not: A woman may kiss 15 men before meeting her soulmate, says study

New Delhi: “You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.” If you believe some new research from England, we can now put some numbers to that oft-quoted line from the classic fairy tale “The frog Prince”. Just how many frogs will you have to kiss?The average woman will kiss 15 men, enjoy two long-term relationships and have her heartbroken twice before she meets 'The One', a study reveals.Researchers found she will also suffer 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 ex-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 partner.The statistics emerged in a study commissioned to mark the paperback release of the international bestseller The Rosie Project - a tale of one man's quest to find his perfect wife.The 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 in their dating lifetime.Brits will also go through one long distance relationship before finally settling down.But it also emerged that almost six in ten Brits reached a point where they felt they were never going to find 'The One'.And another 59 per cent said they think their path to their 'Happy Ever After' was a difficult one.Eight in ten adults said they met the one when they least expected it, while more than a quarter said their current partner isn't the type of person they thought they would settle down with.
