How do you know someone is the one?

DontStopB_Leakin

When they turn your world upside down, but in the best way possible. When you can't stand the thought of being without them. When you realize that you would do anything and everything in your power to keep them safe and content. When the phrase "I love you" doesn't even begin to express what you feel for them. When you realize that they were the reason you were put on the planet. When you want to be the best person you can be, just for them.

....When you realize that they really are your better half. That without them, you're incomplete.

*Reading script of Jerry MacGuire*

Yep. Word for word.

Never seen that movie. Not even lying.

No such thing as 'the one'. You could be with a bunch of different people and experience each as 'love', just because you spent time with them and develop a history. But 'the one you're with' should definitely make life easier than harder.

I'm not sure I believe in "the one" anymore.

With the one, you always strive to be best possible version of yourself. They also have all or most qualities you look for in another person.

It's when you accept someone for their flaws and all, when all you think about is that person all day and night, when you love them for who they are basically then, they're the one

When you can't stay mad at 'em, even when they've earned it. When every awesome thing you do would be that much better if they were there to share it with you. When they make you feel stronger, better, more capable, empowered. When you can't remember what your life was like without them.

I don't believe in the one but I do believe that you can find someone that you want to be with forever ever

In every relationship there comes a moment.

And that moment you ask yourself "this is trouble, I should quit it now"

And if you can't. It's probably the one.


I've waited 3 years to be with my fiance as a family. And it's been a long three years. But three years ago I asked myself if I could just stop, if I could live without him in my life and move on to something more convenient. I could not.

So if you can't let go, for the right reasons.. Don't.
But be totally honest with yourself.

They wear a tee shirt that says 1 am the one

not the shirt that says I am number one because they usually end up being a pile of number 2

You feel an overwhelmiing sense of happiness when you see them. My heart skips a beat just to see his truck pull in the driveway. When I talk about him I blush, smile and will feel giddy even at 28yrs old. He makes everything okay by just being with me. The one I look forward to falling asleep with and waking up to.

There is no perfect answer or fairytale ending. You'll know. Don't think it will always be rose petals and champagne.....

I married the woman of my dreams 15 years ago. Still love her just as much today. And she loves me.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about bouncing her skull off the fridge and dropping an elbow on her Randy Savage style....

I am pretty sure she fights the urge to stab through my face with a machete each day also.....

But we truly love each other.

True love.

so you're saying marriage is the act of constantly planning each other's untimely demise, but never actually carrying out any of those plans.

Mixed with mutual respect and occasional sex......

When you don't have to ask yourself if they are the one

Quite simply... this.

Oddly, my mom once said, "You'll know it's love when you feel like beating his head in with a frying pan, but realize you'd miss him and decide to talk it out." Sounds crazy, but I understand her rationing behind it. Things aren't always perfect, relationships take work, real work, and communication. I think Disney Fairy Tales and soap operas ruined our conceptions of how relationships work.
Oh yeah, there are times I very strongly dislike my partner, but I always love him and am willing to work it out.

My guy friends say it's when you realize you don't want to bone anyone else... yep, geniuses those ones.. :laugh: :laugh:

Its not the feeling you get when your dad tells you its ok if you want to cancel on the way to the service..... thats just stubborness, not love..

When he cares more about you and making you happy than he does about himself. And likewise for you. Simple as that.

see with this I kind of disagree. My thinking is you should ALWAYS question things. Even love. Everything.
I don't believe anything is real unless you have questioned it, and come to a decision.
But I'm weird and anal like that. lol

You can't stand the thought of not spending your lives together.
