Is "The One" really out there?

Recommended Posts

I too felt that way - for 35 years. I would date a guy for a few months and then couldn't imagine being around them long term so I'd break up with them. I gave up on dating in early 2000 and figured that I was one of those people who was meant to be on my own. Then, lo and behold, a few months later my now fiance came along. I resisted dating him at first, but now 3 1/2 years later we're getting married! He's the first person I haven't picked apart and I still love being around him. I personally consider it a miracle. Hang in there - when you least expect it, expect it!

Well, take it from a 30 year old. I thought the same thing a few months ago. Out of nowhere, she came. Someone from college whom I had never dated before and who was nothing more than a friendly acquaintance whom I always wondered what happened to.

At random, her name was in a list I was searching. IN the last few months, I realized she was "the one." Hence, I'm relocating. She's worth it. It helps I found a better paying job there, too.

The one is out there. "The one" found me when I quit looking. Out of the blue.

My recommendation? Lose faith and hope. I did. Within a month of that happening, BANG!!!! She came into my life, where she will always remain.

It's not that I'm afraid of being alone but I just don't think there is a guy out there that I could stand being around for the rest of my life. Wish there was though because I sure could use someone to snuggle with!



I know EXACTLY what you mean. I think it's even harder for those on the gay team. Snuggling (and more) isn't hard to find. But it grows old very fast and finding something emotional and long-lasting is damn near impossible. [:/]

I feel you. I can't imagine the guy weird enough to want to be my one. :P But as I've been told and have tried to believe...have patience and you will find them when you least expect it. :)

Stop looking, he'll show up. I promise.



Took the words right out of my mouth! The harder you look, the harder he'll be to find.
I don't have a good history of long-lasting relationships, but the wonderful guy I'm seeing now is also the first guy I want to be around ALL THE TIME. He'll show up; and probably where you least expect it!

just take it easy and focus on yourself if youre going through a period of time where you dont think you should be with anyone. Make it positive, and when you're ready, there he will be.

four words come to mind when i read this.....

I feel your pain!!

:P;)

I too believe that when you stop looking - it will happen, but you really have to STOP looking and accept yourself for who you are.....then someone else will too!

Good luck - you're not alone on that one!

there is one out there - i think. found my perfect man last year - and he was right under my nose (i had known him for a year prior). i was in a relationship for 6 years with someone i cared for very much, but the last year of that relationship, i realized i was settling for someone i wasn't happy with anymore. my man i have now, makes me so happy, i could write about it forever. i finally feel no fear about the future (of our relationship - not trying to say that I was afraid of my own future) and there is no uncertainty. he is the ONE - my perfect match. so - don't give up. it will happen. and you will KNOW when it happens. :)

Well, the key to this is that whoever you get with now won't be the same 20 years from now. I got married my last year of undergrad, and it has been a very long, very strange trip indeed.

I think lifelong commitment is way different than the joy of having a successful date. It's the knowledge, or hope, that there will be successful date soon, even when your in the midst of the most awful date you could ever imagine.

Got some snuggling just this morning, get to skydive with SkyBytch tomorrow, kids singing in the choir Sunday, then dinner with Grandpa Kelly.

Even 5 years ago, there's no way I could imagine that would be the weekend I would look forward to. If you find a person you can trust, you can find a way.

Bloody hell, I am! That whole "stop looking and the right person will turn up" is crap. Not that I don't believe it - I just don't think you can stop yourself from being on the lookout if that's what you want.

As for the whole subject of whether or not "The One" exists for each person, I hope so, if only to stop people from matchmaking!

i believe that there is one man out there for me, but i am never going to find him. the world is too damn big, and i don't have the time to look. so, i say, he can look for me.
if i don't get married, it's not a big deal. i have always pictured myself living alone somewhere down on the beach w/ my two big ass dogs. they will be my kids. plus, taking care of them is much easier!!:ph34r::ph34r:

When you aren't looking is when you will find him.



This is the way that I feel. I don't go out looking or every really even think about it. For now I am totally happy.

Hey - very funny sig line.

Or... you find the person that you feel so incredibly comfortable with. You have such a close connection you know what they are thinking and what they are doing at any given time. It feels absolutely perfect, but... you have different beliefs when it comes to marriage and family! So screwed!!! g
