Most of us have had that one person who just makes us all sappy and weak in the knees. Someone we just think the absolute world of, no matter what, if anything, became of the relationship. Do you or did you have someone like that? Did you move on and settle for something less? Did you ever get over it?

Is a replacement for "the one" called "number two"?

Most of us have probably had more than one love interest in our life who we had to move past. It's not that uncommon, and happens for all kinds of reasons. None of them are "the one." They are just someone we became infatuated with.

Also, being with someone else down the road is not necessarily settling either. Most of us have learned from our past experiences, grow and mature as people, and are able to form new relationships with people who are an even better fit for us. That is not settling at all.

I'm wondering about that myself just having lost what I thougt was "the one". I believe it can be done and every one of my past woman were unique and special in their own way and I'll probably be pleasantly suprised which will diminish the appreciation of the one over time.

For me, the "one" ends up being a fat zero.

chronologically speaking, yes. In the order of Fibonacci sequence it would then be one, one, three, five, eight, thirteen.

The "one" sure, the one who caused lots of heartburn. The one who cost a lot of money. The one who annoyed the bejeezus out of me.

I've never bought into the idea of "the one" or soul mate or whatever you want to call it. I think you encounter a number of people over your life that has the potential to be a good fit. I've had several LTR over the years, and learned a lot along the way while in those relationships. When I was in them I obviously I hoped it would last, but for various reasons they didn't, but I've always moved on, though some took longer to get over than others. I've never settled at all, I'd much rather be on my own.

It's a big, fat bummer when that happens, huh?
