Men more likely to fall in love at first sight
Apparently, all it takes for a man to fall in love is a simple flirty glance or whiff of perfume, with one in five men claiming to have fallen for a girl as soon as they laid eyes on her. And after just one meeting, the stats rise even more - just over half were smitten after the first initial contact, and nearly three quarters had already decided she was The One within just three dates.
Women, on the hand, are a bit more cynical. According to the study, which was conducted for the launch of Elizabeth Noble's novel, The Way We Were, only a tenth of women believe they have ever experienced love at first sight, with most waiting until at least the sixth date to decide whether it was the real deal.
The study also found that more men have said 'I love you' without the sentiment being reciprocated. Men are also more likely to utter those three magic words first in a new relationship.
So tell us: do you believe in love at first sight?
