As I've gotten older I've realized that your first love is your first love — no matter what age you have it at. I've watched 25-year-olds and 35-year-olds all experience that first love feeling: completely head-over-heels, rushing into things, not listening reason, being in love with the idea of being in a relationship, even when their partner was kind of crappy. And it can be difficult if you're older when it happens for the first time. I've noticed people who don't start dating until their twenties or later always feel like they're the last person on earth who hasn't been in love. It makes them feel really isolated. And then, when they go through the inevitable ups and downs, people are less sympathetic, because they're older and "should know better." But your first love is your first love, no matter when it happens. IllicitEncounters, Britain's dating site for married people, surveyed a random pool of 1,000 people and found out when people actually fall in love for the first time. And though for most people it happens young, it's certainly not true for everyone. They found 55 percent of people fall in love for the first time between the ages of 15 and 18. So it's more than half, but that means 45 percent of people still haven't been in love when they enter college. Here's what else they learned about the age we first fall in love.

1. 20 Percent First Fall In Love Between 19-21

Let's call these the college years. One in five of us fall in love for the first time in that little nook between high school and being on your own, which isn't really a surprise. College relationships are usually really intense, with a shared group of friends and a lot of time together, so it's no surprise people fall hard and fast.

2. 8 Percent First Fall In Love Between 22-25

There's a much bigger drop in the few years after college, but maybe that's because the real world is kicking in. And although it may seem like we're still focusing on falling in love for the first time as only the under 25 age group, remember that this figure still leaves 17 percent— meaning that nearly 1 in 5, falling in love after 25. So if you're in your late 20s and have never fallen in love, don't feel bad. You're not even close to being alone. 3. The First Serious Relationship Lasts Between 1-5 Years For 40 Percent Of Us That sounds about right. The first serious relationship is, by definition, going to last a while, but only 40 percent make it between the one and five year period. Although a few make it longer, with 25 percent reporting they’re still with their first love. But whether you go your separate ways or are still with them, your first love will be an incredible learning experience. Even if they're obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons and wear vampire teeth for fun. Trust me, you'll be fine.

What are the 3 Soul connections?

For the most part, these more meaningful relationships are likely to fall into one of the three main spiritual relationships: Karmic. SoulMate. Twin Flame.

We may sometimes wonder why certain people are in our lives, and not until the time has passed, do we realize what their purpose was. In the moment, it is sometimes hard to grasp their presence, or perhaps we have such a good time we forget to step back and appreciate the now. While all of this is totally normal, as most of us resonate with this thought, further insight can be helpful in our interaction and view of such situations. Understanding the different kinds of spiritual relationships and connections that exist can help us navigate, appreciate, and open up our bandwidth for viewing different moments and stages in life. This increased insight may also help us elaborate, and clarify, the meaning of soulmates as we understand it in pop culture. Aneesha Manji, Reiki Master, and Spiritual Coach, talks to us about spiritual connections and breaks down the three main types below!

an intro to spiritual relationships

Among the various people you encounter in life, there are “certain individuals that stand out” highlights Aneesha. For the most part, these more meaningful relationships are likely to fall into one of the three main spiritual relationships:

Karmic

SoulMate

Twin Flame

To clarify, a spiritual relationship is a physical person in your life, but the focus is on your spiritual connection and how both your souls interact.
