The average woman will kiss 15 men, enjoy two long-term relationships and have her heartbroken twice before she meets 'The One', a study has revealed. Researchers found she will also suffer four disaster dates and be stood up once before she finds one she's happy to stick with. 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 stats emerged in a study commissioned to mark the paperback release of The Rosie Project - a tale of one man's quest to find his perfect wife. Author Graeme Simsion, said:"It's a 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 the disaster dates, mismatched relationships and awkward one night stands can leave many feeling like they are never going to meet their soul mate.

"But there's an annoying yet wonderful randomness about it.

"All those calamities, false starts and heartbreaks never knowing when or if or how "The One" is going to appear in your life. Once we've found someone to settle down with perhaps we're inclined to look only at the negative aspects of the dating journey.'' The study of 2,000 adults 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 get 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. Most will also go through one long distance relationship before finally settling down. Researchers also found that while 94% of women believe in true love, just 88% of men feel the same way.

How do you know if two souls are connected?

When you feel a soul tie, it's simply the sense that another soul is in your life for a reason. For example, if your life is very busy yet you meet a new potential friend or potential business partner, the sense that you have a soul tie to this person could inspire you to make room in your life for the relationship.

mindbodygreen.com - Soul Connection: 12 Types Of Soul Mates & How To Recognize Them

Many Eastern religions and philosophies discuss the concept of past lives. I can always tell when a client has met someone they knew well in a past life by the way they describe the connection. If the connection is manifesting as a romance, they might say, "I've never felt this way before!" When two souls have shared a significant past life together (or perhaps several), if they meet again in this life they may be inexplicably drawn to each other—and the sexual chemistry can be off the charts. What people are feeling is the built-up energy over other lifetimes together—and a soul recognition. Although you can have a soul recognition with any type of soul mate, the past-life ones (whether you were at odds or best friends in a past life) are extremely powerful. According to Brian Weiss, M.D., psychiatrist and past-life regression expert, two souls could agree to reincarnate and navigate toward each other after spending 1,000 earth years apart—which is quite romantic! Yet just because you had a significant past life with someone and are feeling all the feelings, it doesn't necessarily mean you are supposed to partner, romantically or otherwise, in this lifetime. Judge the relationship by who you both are today and how you treat each other now. If you suspect a past-life connection with a current lover, try to bring more healing to the situation, even if you break up. This might look like releasing them with love, wishing them well yet out of your life. Often when souls come back together in this lifetime they are looking to heal something or do better this time around.
