How Many Dates to find "The One"?

Average Woman Dates 24 Men To Find 'Mr. Right'
Research: Search Costs Women More Than $3,000

New research shows the average woman dates 24 men and will spend more than $3,000 to find "Mr. Right."

"Although you cannot put the price on true love, it seems you can certainly put a price on finding it," a spokesman for UKDating.com, which polled 2,173 of its members for the study, told The Daily Mail of London.

In the study, 7 percent of women surveyed went on 41 to 60 dates before finding someone to share their life with.

And 1 percent of women said they had been on 61 to 80 dates before finding someone suitable.

The research also revealed that despite the amount spent on each date, a third of women have left halfway through after realizing they had met "Mr. Wrong."

One in four women will meet a man just once before deciding whether or not he is "the one," according to the research.

Thirty-five percent will give a man two dates, and 16 percent make their decision after three dates.
