'The one?', Hmm? Options

Lately, I've been thinking.. I'm tired of people trying to find 'the one.' Because seriously, there is no such thing as that, IMO. I believe that you can be with anyone as long as you both want to make it work.

So, do you believe in "the one?" Or do you think it doesen't exist?

Yes and no.

Yes I believe that there IS someone out there who is very compatible with you. That there IS someone that will make you feel loved, safe, secure and cherished like no other person can. That there IS someone who complements you, their yin to your yan. That there IS someone whose chemistry just works with yours, whom you just can't seem to get rid of, whom you feel an unexplainable attraction to.

But no, I don't believe that we're all limited to one person. It all boils down to the right timing, place and person. And situations too. Take me and my first boyfriend. Sure we had the chemistry and the attraction going on, and sure at the time it felt like to me that he was "the one" for me. But it was at the wrong time, wrong situation. We weren't old enough to fully experience the fruits of love. We were rash, rushed into it not knowing what to do. And we broke up. Now as for me and my current boyfriend..the timing is a bit better, we've both been through one relationship, so we have experience and know how to deal with a relationship. We compliment each other. While I would not think of him as "the one" for me just yet, he is highly compatible with me, and I think, with a little bit of work, we may make it.

So while I think that there is someone who can be highly compatible with you and completes you, there isn't necessarily a specific person. Any relationship could work if both of you wants it to.
