The ’right’ time is to spend the night with your new squeeze

英國最新調查: 戀愛的最佳時間表

From your first date to that all-important first kiss, new relationships are marked by a series of milestones.

從你們的第一次約會再到重要的初吻，一系列的“里程碑”標志著你們的情侶關系。

But if you’re wondering when the ’right’ time is to spend the night with your new squeeze, a new survey may answer that question once and for all.

但是，如果你想知道，和你的新伴侶共度良宵的最佳時機是什么時候，那么一項最新的研究也許能徹底解決這個問題。

The results from more than 2,000 men and women have mapped out the journey of your average long-term relationship, with everything from holding hands to having babies.

此次對2000多名男女的調查，涉及從牽手到生子的問題，幫你籌劃好了長期的陪伴關系。

According to the research, saying ’I love you’ normally happens after five months of dating (144 days), whereas you’ll have to wait a total of six months before being given a drawer at your partner’s house.

調查顯示，說“我愛你”通常在約會的144天，也就是大約5個月以后，而一般在六個月后才會來到在你的伙伴的家里。

It also takes us longer to hold hands with than to kiss a new partner, with 31 per cent claiming they would snog their date immediately, and 34 per cent revealing they would wait between one and two weeks to holds hands.

并且，和情侶親吻要比牽手更快。31%的人稱他們初次約會便有親吻擁抱的行為，而34%的人表示，大約過一兩周才會有牽手的行為

Meanwhile, more than a quarter (27 per cent) of Brits wait between one and two weeks to sleep with their partner, while 23 per cent wait one month. However, three fifths (60 per cent) would introduce their partner to their best friend within the first month.

同時，超過四分之一(27%)的英國人會在一兩周之后和伴侶共眠，而23%的人會在一個月之后。而，五分之三(60%)的人會在一個月以內把戀人介紹給朋友認識。

Over a third (36 per cent) said that it would take one month or less for them to get dressed or undressed with the lights on.

超過三分之一(36%)的人表示，會在一個月或更短的時間內開燈的情況下換衣服。

The findings suggest saying ‘I love you’ happens on average at five months of dating (144 days), with British daters also seeing this as the perfect time to embark on a very modern dating milestone: updating their social media relationship status (157 days).

調查結果顯示，和對方說“我愛你”的時間平均在5個月之后，英國的情侶們也把這個視為他們親密關系的一個完美的里程碑，并在社交媒體上宣布，而這個更新的時間約(157天)。

The study also sheds some light on that all-important six-month mark, suggesting that this is when three major relationship milestones take place: the revealing of one’s imperfections (173 days), the first argument (170 days) and when most parental introductions take place.

研究還提出六個月的時候是最重要的，有三個主要的“里程碑”通常發生在這個時候：發現對方的不足(173天);第一次爭吵(170天);還有互相見家長。

Once the crucial six-month milestone has passed, daters feel it’s safe to splash out on the relationship by spending the night away (seven months/ 204 days) or jetting off on holiday together (ten months/ 298 days).

一旦這六個月堅持了，情侶會認為，這段關系開始穩定，并且開始一起過夜(7個月或204天)，或者一起度假(10個月或298天)。

Over a quarter (28 per cent) of people surveyed also said they would wait at least six months before leaving their toothbrush at their partner’s house, whilst 40 per cent said the same for being given a drawer at their partner’s house.

超過四分之一(28%)的人們說，他們把牙刷丟在伴侶家一般是在六個月后，而上述的在對方家為自己留有一個抽屜則也是在六個月后。

The study also revealed that a third of Brits (33 per cent) will have their first conversation about their long-term future within a year, whilst the big commitment milestones of engagement rings, wedded bliss and babies all come later.

研究還顯示，三分之一(33%)的人會在一年之內，針對他們長久的伴侶關系而進行第一次談話，同時，重大約定的“里程碑”也將陸續發生：訂婚戒指、婚姻的約定，還有生小孩。

The average couple is said to get engaged after two years (743 days), married after just over three (1,190 days) and has a family after almost four years of dating (1,422 days).

一般，夫妻們會在兩年后(743天)訂婚，三年后(1190天)結婚，并且在四年后(1422天)生小孩組建家庭。

Finally, in terms of when people can expect to find love, the research found that 27 is the average age British daters meet their partners, with women more likely to meet them earlier in life at age 25 than men at 28. Half of daters meet their partner in their 20s.

最后，至于人們什么時候能找到自己的另一半，研究表示，英國情侶們互見家長的平均年齡是27歲，而女性見家長的時間更早，約25歲，男性為28歲。有一半的情侶在20歲的時候就見過家長。

’If your relationship isn’t falling within these time frames, use them to adjust your expectations.’

如果你們的關系出現的矛盾或者失敗，那么運用這些“框框”去調整你們的期待吧!
