Modern couples are falling in love in just half the time as their parents' generation, with it now taking just 224 tweets and 163 text messages to woo partners, new research suggests
Twitter is now the most common way to secure a new partner and the ‘three day
rule’ for calling a date back has been abandoned for a few hours.
A study found modern technology is speeding things up for couples who now rely
on social media and texting to secure a relationship, rather than old
fashioned methods of their parents' generation which took twice as long.
Couples aged 55 and over said on average their courting process took more than
two and a half months (78 days) whereas for those under the age of 25 it
takes just under one month (24 days) for them to refer to each other as
boyfriend and girlfriend, according to the study by PIXmania.
Instead of obeying the ‘three day rule’ to contact a date, the research
revealed 68 per cent of people said they were now happy to communicate with
their new love interest within four hours of a first date.
It also found it now takes couples an average of 224 tweets, 163 text
messages, 70 Facebook messages, 37 emails and 30 phone calls to fall head
over heels in love
