The survey challenges the stereotype of commitment-phobic men, revealing that it is actually the fairer sex which is reluctant to commit.
While women wait for at least a couple of months, men are ready to commit even after a mere two dates, the survey found.
According to the findings from a recent poll of 25,000 single adults, men are faster to commit than women, 'The Australian' reported.
Asked how long it took to officially become a couple, the most popular response by men (42.1 per cent) was "after a couple of good dates".
However, women appear to need their space far more than men because they were twice as likely to say there would "never" be a right time.
The most popular response among women (34.6 per cent) was that they preferred to wait "at least a few months", the survey by romantic social network Zoosk and online magazine Glamour.Com found.
Men are also quicker to show and tell, with 56.4 per cent indicating they would introduce a new love interest to friends after one to five dates, compared to 39.7 per cent of women.
