There's no such thing as the one in my opinion. However, I believe, we all have a certain set of values and features whether it be physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, etc. that we look for in a partner. Eventually, we meet someone that matches the values we look for on enough levels that we no longer perceive finding a better match than this. This is when we decide we've found the one.

That just tells me you haven't found that person yet. Trust me. It isn't a matter of crossing things off a list.

I ask because my partner and I have only been together for 2 months and yet I feel like I know. I feel like he and I are so much in sync and it's amazing to me how that happens.

When you want to spend all your time with them, and they you.

Ah, life is grand @ 2 months!


Gotta make it past that 6month, 1 year, 1 1/2yr mark - then see if you still feel the same.

Great. The other thing is to keep an open mind to it happening.

Before I met TheFutureMrsCPG, I basically dated the same kind of woman over and over again. Artsy-fartsy. Neurotic as hell.

When I met TheFutureMrsCPG, it was as if my head exploded. "Who the hell is this?" I though to myself. And yet she was absolutely nothing like the women I had always dated. If I had just blown off MrsCPG because she wasn't my 'type,' whatever the hell that was, she and I might have spun past each other in the universe and never found each other again.

I'm not saying it's a matter of crossing things off a list but when we look at someone holistically, we say this person is the right one for me based on values we look for in a partner. That's not to say there aren't thousands of other people in this world who we would feel the same about if we met them instead.

But human judgement is not infallible and many people have believed they found the one only to have it end in heartbreak.

Like I said, you haven't experienced it, so it's all academic to you. I did on June 9, 1990.

I guess you can say it's academic to me in the sense that with 6 billion people in the world, I find it very unlikely we would run into "the one", if there were such a concept. However, you'll need to understand I'm not a religious person and believe there's nothing special about us humans to understand why my opinion lies where it does on the issue.

I believe we're just a highly evolved animal floating around on a rock around a star around a galaxy in a large universe.

So I can understand where others may come at it from the perspective that there is one person meant for all of us but it's just not something I believe. I don't think it makes either one of us wrong or right however.
