Modern dating is a tough game. Whether you use apps or like to go old school and attempt to meet potential new partners IRL, everyone’s relationship history is unique to them – and there’s no right or wrong way to do it, either. However, we’re always interested to find out the stats around modern dating. For example, online dating site Match.com surveyed 2,000 people about their relationships, to find out the most common age that people meet their significant other, as well as when other common milestones occur, such as the first ‘I love you’, the first time they met the parents and the first time they held hands. Before reading on, if you’re yet to meet The One, don’t read too much into these numbers. They might be the average but plenty of people’s relationship timelines fall completely differently – life would be boring if it followed a predictable formula. Getty ImagesAs it happens, the average age people meet their other half is different for men and women. On average, women meet The One at the age of 25, while men find their life partner at 28 years old (there was no data collected for non-binary people). Other findings in the study included that people wait five months to say ‘I love you’, but that it takes an additional month on top of that to be given your own drawer at your partner’s home. First kisses happen much sooner: 31 per cent of respondents said they would kiss on the first date if things were going well, while interestingly 34 per cent say they would wait up to two weeks before holding hands. Twenty seven per cent reported waiting one to two weeks before sleeping with a partner for the first time, but another 23 per cent admitted to waiting a month before diving under the covers. Your first argument with a partner is always going to happen at some point, and according to Match.com these normally occur around six months into a relationship. The six month mark is also on average when people introduce partners to their family for the first time. Looking towards the future, 33 per cent have their first conversation about what the future holds within one year. Engagements typically take place after two years, with weddings happening after three and kids coming along around the four year mark.

Can you be with your twin flame forever?

Twin flame relationships are thought to be the most intense relationships we can have in our lives—but they're not always meant to last. Sometimes, twin flames go through a separation period, and whether the separation ends up being permanent depends on that particular pair.

While the separation may not be permanent, it is virtually always a time to focus on and prioritize your own growth and self-love. Nuñez says it's important for each person to focus on finding themselves and their own happiness—"because oftentimes our happiness is contingent upon being in a relationship or somebody else," she notes, when it shouldn't be. When that work is done, she adds, that's when twin flames can often rekindle because they're ready to approach the relationship in a new and stronger way. But this growth can't be fast-tracked, she adds, and that's when you really have to trust what's meant for you will be. "Know the universe isn't going to steer you wrong, and if you're truly meant to be, you'll go off and find your way back together again," she says. Focus on learning to be OK being by yourself, she suggests. Take yourself out on dates, learn to sit with your emotions, practice shadow work, and don't try to replace what you've lost by rushing into another relationship. Nuñez says this time is about finding your happiness. And remember, we can have platonic soul mates and other important relationships in our lives that also teach us important lessons and help us grow. The separation period is a good time to nourish those relationships, too.
