![]() ![]() The kind of missed opportunity loves, lots of stories about wrong timing, being married at the time to someone else, intense holiday romances and not based on reality kind of love maybe scored higher. ![]() First love is more obvious yes the first kiss, first butterflies, first sexual encounters perhaps bond you in a way that is hard to recreate, your first love you often can remember every detail tied to them, maybe our brains rank people by how clear memories are and first anything are usually always easier to remember than 7 th anything or 588 th anything’s. Digging deeper a lot of people quoted “first love as their one or only love” and also missed opportunity love as one of their true loves. This is where things got statistically more shocking, only 50% of the people I asked admitted that one of the people they loved was their spouse. This question also opened a can of other worms, because I am a compulsive finder of the truth, I also asked every person to tell me if one of the people they truly loved was their present or ex-spouse. Statistically the average 50 year old has been in love twice, so we only find love on average every 10 to 25 years? This is dismal finding especially when you are divorced and single as I am. I started to think about this a lot, how rare this makes LOVE. The highest number of people someone said they had been truly in love with was 3 this was a 65yr olds answer, but just about without exception EVERYBODY else said 1 person or 2 people. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the results I find fascinating. They were from all walks of life, CEO’s, Mom’s, Dad’s, single, married, rich and poor any one at all I asked. ![]() ![]() Most of the people I asked were between 25-60 years old. I started this blog over a month ago, by asking every adult I came across the simple question “How many times have you been in love?”. ![]()
