You are asking here if every person in a ten year period only has one boyfriend / girlfriend.
The obvious answer is no.
Dating in your 20's can lead to marriage, but it can equally only last a day or a week or a month.
If you don't like her then you'll just have to cross your fingers that it doesn't last.
Good Luck!! xx

Communication and compromise. That is how relationships last.Flynn 24

 To be truthful, no. Young adults in their teens and 20s typically mess around with one or another - they fall in and out of love (or puppy love) endlessly. Thousands of love (or not) songs have been written about it, notably "Falling In and Out of Love" by Pure Prairie League.
I'm much the older man, but it seems like yesterday that every other young person I knew were moving in and out of relationships like through a revolving door. So did I, but if lucky, eventually you find someone which whom you truly connect on a meaningful level - but this is hard to know when still young and inexperienced. Remember that even among mature couples, the divorce rates are like 50 percent or so.
When I read here that some young girl is "so much in LOVE with some 20-year-old guy" (much more so a teenager) I just cannot help but shake my head and smile. The odds are astronomically against these passing affairs lasting, but rarely, they do. Just don't count on it.
