IF YOU'RE SINGLE AND WONDERING WHETHER YOU'LL EVER FIND 'THE ONE'... YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

A NEW SURVEY OF 2,000 AMERICANS FROM LELO FOUND JUST 41 PERCENT OF SINGLES ARE CONFIDENT THEY'LL EVENTUALLY FIND THEIR ONE TRUE LOVE.

THE STUDY, CONDUCTED BY TALKER RESEARCH, FOUND DATING ITSELF ISN'T HELPING – MORE THAN HALF OF AMERICANS SAY THEY'VE LOST THEIR 'GAME,' AND THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS GONE NEARLY A YEAR AND A HALF WITHOUT A GOOD DATE.

AND EVEN FINDING A PARTNER DOESN'T ALWAYS SETTLE THE QUESTION – ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIPS DON'T BELIEVE THEIR CURRENT PARTNER IS 'THE ONE.'

SO... DO YOU BELIEVE THERE'S ONE PERFECT PERSON OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE? WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
