i know people may laugh but i think "the one" comes into your life naturally, i mean i have no clue why i even meet my bf but i did and it was great! still is, i think whoever is going to come into your life will come and you only find out that its them very quickly! :smile:
when they have lots of money

nope, not come even close. I guess you know when you realise that you can't imagine ever being with or wanting to be with anyone else.

well i know hes the one because of simple resons i mean:

when you think about them you often find yourself smiling for no reason,
you get butterflyes in your tummy when you see them,
you cant think of what your life would be like if there were not there.
you get depressed if there something worng with them.
you want them to be happy, even if it means sacrafising (sp*) your love for them.

Things like that...in my opinon :smile:

Possibly, but how can one ever tell? It depends on how old you are. It would be foolish to have such high expectations of anyone when you're still, say, 17... if looking forward to my future I often consider it to be with my current GF, but it would be naive of me (I'm 18) to rule out any other possibilities. Who knows what could happen - she could be knocked down by a car tomorrow! She could have amnesia and forget all about me! Anything could happen. If you're approaching the middle of your twenties then maybe it's a more reasonable thing to claim - but even then, most marriages end in divorce so people must be wrong a LOT!

yeah, i totally agree with the whole age thing.

i mean i'm only 20, but my heart says he is the one, but logically, i don't think i can make that decision yet, cos i don't have enough experience and how are we gonna change in the future? u don't know if u'll change in the same way in 10yrs, 15 years!
squirly

She could even become a radical christian or something, in which case I'd contemplate murder. *KIDDING*. Anyway, I think it's something of a myth, this idea that somewhere there is someone who is perfect for everyone - nobody's perfect, but when you love someone you're able to ignore all the reasons they aren't. You just have to count on that love staying around.

sorry, could people say how they know pls? it can't literally be cos u can't imagine being with anyone else. surely there are other factors?

it seems all very risky, putting so much emotion and time and effort into one person?
yeh ive found my one, not in a hes perfect way, but we are so good together, and i know hes the one because when i think about never having the oppourtunity to have a first kiss, the first thrill of getting with someone new and all those great first time things, im not at all sad, infact im happy that i have something that makes me as happy every day of the week. and i knew when i was 17, young i know but o well

I like to think my current boyfriend is the one. I couldn't live without him. I can't stand when I'm not with him and hate being apart. I'm proud of him and won't shut up about him. Most of all whenever we are together it feels like the most amazing thing HOWEVER I'm only 18. I'm just about to start uni 200 miles away and I want to spend one semester abroad and possibly a years working abroad, I don't know at such a young age in a young relationship (7 months) we will be strong enough to cope with it.

IF we are then fine, great, perfect. If we arn't then ohwell, we're still young.

He also has no intention of getting married for atleast another 5 years and I don't want to get married or consider it untill I have finished my 4 year uni course :smile: Long time to wait yet.

I don't believe in "the one"

I do think that you can find someone you're entirely compatible with, and then you decide to promise never ever ever to leave them - to always be a unit, a couple, a team. :smile:

Like I always say, my acid-proof test is if you wouldn't want to change them at all.

Of course people worry - but there are more things to look forward to than worry about - buying a house together, the wedding, having children, raising children, family holidays, getting older, retirement together, grandchildren and all the other things in between.
It all overcomes the negative side of relationships.

No one knows for definite that they will stay together forever, it is just something that you hope for, and promise to try your best to do. No one is going to have a perfect, happy marriage - there will always be problems, but that's what makes the relationship stronger - the fact that you "want" to stay together makes it worth trying for.

(If that makes sense :confused: )
