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.

How do you release a soul mate?

A ritual for breaking soul ties: Sit in meditation. Call on any angels or spirit guides to be with you as well. Tell the person's soul that you wish them well and all the best in life, but you simply don't want to be in relationship with them anymore.

A soul tie is a connection with someone deeply embedded into your soul, certified sex therapist De-Andrea Blaylock-Johnson, LCSW, CST, tells mbg. "Often it's thought to happen after you have intercourse with someone," she notes, adding it's often presented from a very cisgender, heteronormative perspective. The idea that intercourse causes a soul tie has roots in the Christian tradition, "to perpetuate the idea that if you have sex outside of marriage, you'll be connected to someone," Blaylock-Johnson explains. But she goes on to say that "soul ties," at least in regard to sex, are really attachments in disguise and "an over-spiritualization of normal feelings." Additionally, although the bonding hormone oxytocin is released during orgasm1 , not all sexual partners go on to feel emotionally bonded to each other after the experience. (See casual dating and friends with benefits situations, both of which can be done in a healthy way.) With that in mind, professional intuitive and author of Self-Care for Empaths Tanya Carroll Richardson says soul ties can also refer to the broad term describing any kind of soul connection between two people. "You could have known each other in a past life, be from the same soul family, or simply have a soul contract to meet up in this lifetime and have some type of relationship or experience together." And they don't have to be romantic relationships, she adds. You may even quickly realize this person isn't an uplifting presence in your life. "You might have strong feelings or be drawn to someone initially," she explains, "but as soon as you get to know them, you quickly realize you don't want to be around them. Honor that feeling and intuitive hit."
