No, this figure doesn't sound accurate - although there's no definitive study that suggests at what age most people meet the love of their life.
At what age do most people meet the love of their life?
In reality, most people fall in love a number of times during their lifetime - so the chances of falling for someone on your journey between 7th and 12th grade are pretty high.
However, the average age at which girls get married is currently between 26 and 28 (if you haven't passed the 12th grade by the age of 27, then you may want to reconsider your life).
Do most people meet their life partner at high school?
Although I'm married, I met my life partner relatively late in life. That's because my life partner is a cat called Mr. Tibbles!
Yes, I had my fair share of high-school and college romances (the average woman has fewer than 5 sexual partners in a lifetime - although that's according to the National Survey of Family Growth) but the truth is that 'love' changes over time.
Personally, I've long since given up hoping to find 'Mr. Right' and, although I am very fond of my husband, I wouldn't say he's the kind of guy I would have envisaged marrying when I was in high-school.
As you grow older, you'll realize that life is full of ups and downs. There are going to be several people who will be important to you in your lifetime, and some of them will stick around for the ride - whilst others will betray you with every skanky waitress and barmaid they can get their lecherous hands on! (finally dumping you unceremoniously on Christmas Day via a text message).
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't be too worried about when and how you're going to meet the love of your life. Just enjoy the people who are in your life at the moment, and if things are meant to work out - then they will!
Good luck.
