It seems that men are either luckier in love or perhaps just feel more intensely, since the same study found that more than half of men have fallen in love five times in their lives. Looking more deeply into the statistics, 47 percent of women compared to 39 percent of men reported falling in love only once in their lifetimes.
Looking at those who loved between two and five individuals, men fall on the higher end once again, as 51 percent of them fell into this category, versus only 47 percent of women.
The gaps aren't huge here though and this is a study conducted by an ice-cream company mind you, so don't read too much into the results. A survey conducted in with a similar question found that people fall in love twice on average in their life and Dr.
Helen Fisher of Rutgers says men fall in love faster than women do, because of our evolutionary history. Most of them, on an average, had found love twice.
A whopping 73 percent said they settled for the second best choice after their true love left them. 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. 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.
Shop Read. The first time around, I was 18 and everything about the process of falling in love was so new to me. Part of the fun was figuring out if the jitters, the emotions, and the giddiness was actually love or just an intense crush.
The second time around, I was I had been single for a few years and wasn't sure if I'd ever feel so strongly about a person again, so I was really pleasantly surprised to discover that I did! For me, the biggest difference was that the second time it happened, I felt more sure of myself. By that point, I had six more years of experience with dating and relationships, and I was more confident when it came to identifying what I was feeling.
I also think that my second relationship is far more mature, stable, and satisfying than my first, but that doesn't mean you can't experience that the first time around — I just didn't. I was in love with my high school crush, and in love with my first boyfriend. The first time [in high school], it was more childish. It didn't feel real until I fell in love with my boyfriend.

I [have since] learned to be more vocal, to express those feelings. I still feel [my high school crush] is the one that got away.
