Women who have found “the one”

How many relationships before you found your person?? I’m so curious! I would answer but I haven’t found “the one” yet.

The One....... The one that I have been with for years because he waits for me.

I had 1 serious boyfriend in high school and 1 serious boyfriend in college. I had a few other somewhat serious but brief (less than 6 month) relationships. I met "the one" when I was 26 and he was 30. By that time I very much knew what I wanted/didn't want from a relationship based on my past experiences, and he felt the same way. He was just getting over a long term relationship so we took it very slowly at first and even stopped seeing each other for a few weeks because he wasn't sure he was ready to jump into something again. But once we started seeing each other again, we knew it was right. My advice is not to be discouraged by your relationships that don't work out. They'll teach you so much about yourself and about what you want/need from a partner, and will ultimately help you feel ready to commit once you do find "the one"!

I met the love of my life at College. We will be together over 16 years this fall and over 6 years of marriage in April. The key to meeting "the one" comes down to: 1) being open to love 2) asking critical questions 3) paying attention to behavior and conversations 4) setting clear boundaries and 5) making sure the person's life goals and ambitions align with yours.

I didn't really start dating til 22. Over the next few years, I had 3 semi-serious relationships, decided I was never going to have a successful long-term relationship, accepted my fate, and promptly met The One. That was 13 years ago, and I still like him.

I met my husband when we were both 18 and in college; we both worked part-time at the same business. Once we began dating, we were exclusive. We were married at 22. Since nothing was serious before him, he is and has been "the one" for over three and a half decades.

I dated 2 people seriously and 2 dated me seriously. So many non serious dates in between that I can't count. We aren't equals in many ways. We mostly compliment one another, but we still share some things in common. Our beginning was pretty rocky but 9 1/2 years later we are stronger than ever and don't regret putting that elbow grease yo make it work. I tell everyone is don't rush it, don't stress over it, when the one comes to you, you will know

-Dated 18 people -12 of them for long enough to call them short relationships -3 of them for 2+ years -Third one of those three is the person I married It took me until him to decide I was ready for a committed relationship. I found that meeting people in organizations I was in (volunteering / hobbies) meant that I was already interacting with people who had similar values.

Yeah, I would say four that I considered serious, but I was young when I found my husband. We were 24 and 26. We knew right away... we just clicked... physically, emotionally, intellectually (more than 10 years later...and 8 years into marriage we still click). I had some tumultuous relationships in my 20s and I remember my dad saying to me, it shouldn't be hard to date someone (probably because he knew marriage was hard enough and if it's already hard while you're dating, then good luck!). At any rate, he was right. When I met my husband everything was easy. We wanted to be together all the time. We were long distance and spent hours on the phone. We went out of our way to see each other. It was easy and we wanted to be together and make each other happy. That's my biggest advice to young people looking for their "one" ... it shouldn't be hard to date the person. Oh, and find your intellectual equal!
