Question of the year:

How do you tell if someone is the one? Movies, books, and practically all media portrays the fact that there is one and only one person for everyone out there, and time and time again, no matter how twisted the story gets, no matter how many signs there are that the pair shouldn’t be together, “true love” always conquers all

What is the one? anyways...

A good question indeed...for some there are many "ones". While for others there is "the one and only." I don't think anyone truly knows or understands love until they are lying on their deathbed or their "true love" is lying there dying. In otherwords, you don't know what love is until you can't imagine life without them...

Just a thought for dinner on Friday night..

Personally, I think that's horse shit. You don't need to wait until your life is crumbling with the absence of someone. I think that denotes something of a crutch, or a depressing relationship. The whole "you're just supposed to know" is as close as it comes, though. What do you define as something that you're willing to devote the rest of your life to? (Or at least, a decent chunk of it) Love is something that is not too different from a puzzle piece. Something that interlocks with your personality, with your lifestyle, and enhances it. It's an upgrade; it isn't something that can destroy you. It's something that improves the quality of your life.

Well... that's my definition, anyway. All of the hopeless romantics out there can say that it's someone you'd die for... but that line works for a lot of people in my life. Friends, family, co-workers, in some cases. I think there is definitely an inexplicable bond, though. That's why I call it a puzzle piece. Take from it what you wish.

I'll give you reassurance in the fact that you're not alone.

I'll let you know that you're not alone with going crazy typing numbers into a computer all day :-P...

but hun, here's the thing: I think you're exactly right in the fact that you can be happy with someone who isn't "the one"...but I also think, that if you're having these kind of doubts...maybe that should tell you something about who "isn't the one" for you. Maybe there is someone still out there who could make you happier...but thats something that you need to think about...right now, I don't know that you necessarily need to have your mind made up about who is "the one". But you should focus more on making yourself happy. Don't let anyone make you miserable. You don't need to get married right now, so don't worry about it right now. Just concern yourself with making YOU happy. :-)

if you need to talk anymore, let me know. And if you want me to beat anyone up, I'm game. ;-)

Babe, We're too young to muse on such "the-one"s
I'll make an entry just for you on the ones, my infamous college experiences to dote upon.

In my opinon the one is someone you love with your heart, someone you never get tired of, someone who makes your heart flutter everyday, someone who you could always forgive, someone that despite their flaws you will accept. Someone who you would give your life for, but they would never let you give up your life.
