The giddy romantic in me says yes. I do entertain the idea/concept of kismet, and given how we crossed paths, the "too good to be true" level of chemistry and compatibility, how in sync we are and have been from the start, I like to believe in kismet.
My husband often tells me I'm his needle in a haystack and "purple squirrel." I don't argue that.
I don't believe there is any such thing as " the one". I think we can be happy with various people. I think it's about having similar ideas and values, and a similar wants as to how you will live as a married couple. Also important to date for at least a few years, so you really know you get along, and not just on " good behaviour".. And loving someone is definitely not enough to make a marriage work.
I knew he was someone I could be with, have kids with, have a lot of fun with, etc. Is he "the one"? Yes and no. There could have been other "ones" if my life had taken other paths. But yes, date a long time, see if you're compatible in every way, travel together, etc.
When I first met her I found her somewhat exotic, quite intriguing, a bit strange and decidedly challenging. But I was married, we were going to work together so over time we just became appropriate work friends. Three years later my wife left me for another. I spent the next two years living like a hermit or monk and worked on and reinvented myself.
By this time she had promoted and gone to work for another agency. All barriers to a relationship were thus removed and I had decided it was time to try dating, something I hadn't done in 27 years. I asked her out with no romantic ideations but because I liked her and we could easily talk together. We did and halfway through the date I realized I'd fallen in love with her. Thankfully she felt the same way and two months later we were married.
How did I know? Simple. I married my friend and we're still friends over 20 years later; very different but made for one another. Truth be known, I think I knew the moment we met and suppressed it all those years.
