According to Rose, love is a journey of self-discovery and every relationship we have in our lives teaches us something that we need to learn about ourselves and what will make us truly happy. She discussed the three times we all fall in love and their significance to our love life. 1. The Soulmate Love For most of us, falling in love is a state of vulnerability when one feels emotionally enchanted by someone else. You want to be with the person, you want to see them always, you don’t want to hurt them in any way, and you might experience butterfly feelings in your belly.

People only fall in love 3 times, each for a unique reason

I had once written this post about how we all fall in love three times in our lifetime on Os.me. That idea was published in 2020 by Kate Rose in her book titled “You Only Fall in Love Three Times: The Secret Search for Our Twin Flame”. This book explored the three types of love and what they mean. This theory supposes that we only fall in love once in our entire lifetime and that the rest are not exactly “falling in love”. This theory believes that we all have a soulmate, and even when things do not go on between us and our soulmate, we still have a place for them in our hearts.

The commonest dating mistake people make in their attempt to find love is looping through a cycle of dating the same type of wrong person for so long before letting themselves go to find the third type of love. This is what Kate Rose meant when she explained that, “When we don’t learn the necessary lessons we need to, we repeat specific phases until we are able to find our twin flame.” Relationships themselves always spark my interest (if you hadn’t already guessed). Why do we do the things we do, or what makes us think or act a certain way – the psychology behind it all fascinates me. Naturally, my obsession with finding out more about the way we humans are wired leads me to reading all sorts of books and forums and blogs about it. Most recently, I stumbled across an article I found particularly interesting about love. Generally speaking, your first love is when you’re young. I’m not talking early 20s, I’m talking high school young. Young enough to know what love is but not what it truly means. This love is entirely idealistic, it’s what you imagine love to be from watching all sorts of films and reading all sorts of magazines about this thing they call ‘love’. It seems like a fairy tale, it feels right.

The first love is the love that feels right. It is what is closest to the fairy tale love stories you may have read or heard of. It is the love that appeals to what society thinks about love and you might do stupid things for its sake. Several theories have explained what falling in love is and how many times we fall in love in our lifetime. The most prominent of those theories is the “Three-time theory” which states that we fall in love three times in our lifetime, each for a specific reason. To understand the number of times we fall in love in our lifetime, it is proper to clarify what we mean when we say someone has fallen in love. Falling in love is a special emotional feeling that makes you physically and sexually attracted to someone. The three-time love theory also has its own shortcomings in that we may not fall in love only three absolute times in our entire lifetime. These three times can represent three phases of love with several love experiences in between.

While these theories have their own explanations, I will see how I can make them clear as much as I can, beginning with the three-time theory of how many times we fall in love in our lifetime. The “Three-Time Theory” The second love teaches us a lesson about who we are and how we deeply need to be loved. It teaches us that love is not obtained by force or coercion. This love opens us up to the third love that lasts. The third love – the happy ending love – is unexpected in more ways than one. The idealistic love that you’ve had pictured in your head for years has now been quashed by this person as they aren’t the person you envisaged falling for but my God, have you fallen. With this person, love is like oxygen (yeah, I said it) and it just works, it feels right.

Falling is a beautiful experience that is typically described by the electrifying experience it produces in the individual but love itself is more than just the feelings. While I generally consider experiencing the phases personally as a better way to learn about love, it is totally fine to learn your lessons in a milder way. The lessons you learn about love from the three stages of love prepare you for what love should be. How long would it take to find the third love?Love isn’t about finding your “soulmate” or trying to match personalities, love is about finding someone (or letting someone find you) who loves in the same way that you do. Sure, there will always something special about our first love, and perhaps deep down (somewhere we should probably steer clear of) we can all find something ironically exceptional about our second, but we’ll only truly find total contentment with the third. Recall that Kate Rose related these three types of love experiences to the development of our ideology about love. Each love has a specific reason, lesson, or significance in our love life. Finding the third type of love does not necessarily have to take a lifetime but it could take a long time for some people. That often depends on their openness to learn and break out of the cycle of remaining in one phase of love for so long. You don’t necessarily have to fall in love three times before you find the perfect love that lasts. This is because you can learn about these stages from other people, books, and a blog like this, without having to experience all the harshness of romantic relationships. The Soulmate Love introduces us to the dream of love but somehow what seemed like a “happily ever after” wasn’t meant to last forever. Because of that, the heartbreak that follows at the end usually hits so bad you wish never to love again. 2. The Karmic Love
