How many times have you fallen in love? Once? 3 times? Every month? It’s not love if you fall for it every month. Research says people, on an average, fall in love only twice in their lifetime. Siemens Festival Lights conducted a survey involving 2000 people on their romantic histories. Most of them, on an average, had found love twice.

One out of the 7 people surveyed said they didn’t consider the person they were dating as the love of their life. A whopping 73 percent said they settled for the second best choice after their true love left them. 

What’s more, 17 percent of the people said they found the love of their life AFTER they settled down with a partner. What do we say, destiny works in strange ways.

An earlier research, conducted by North Opera, had suggested that people fall in love 4 times in their lives. That’s some respite, because modern relationships have a short shelf life. 

Another survey, by researchers from Hamilton College in the US, says people fall in love at the fourth sight. For all those who believe in love at first sight, you might consider walking into the bar again.
