Keep your chin up ladies, Mr. Right is out there. But, plan on dating a lot before you find him.

I know it gets frustrating. You just want that "happily ever after" and you want it NOW. And, at some point along the way you just want to throw in the towel. Here is the breakdown on when to expect Prince Charming to come through the door.

According to the Daily Mail, single ladies date an average of 24 guys before finding Mr. Right, according to a recent survey. And during this mating game, the women reported spending more than $3000 over all on their quest for Prince Charming, or about $125 per suitor. "Although you cannot put a price on true love, it seems you can certainly put a price on finding it," says a spokesman for an Internet dating site which polled 2,173 women.

And guys had better bring their best game to the love match or else they'll be viewed as Mr. Wrong, according to the survey. About 33% of the women reported dumping a guy halfway through a date because he did not rate. About 20% gave a guy one whole date to make an impression, while 35% held out hope for two dates and 16% for three dates.
