Do YOU believe in "the one"???

"The One"? Bull****.

What if "the one" is a 62 year old hooker in Beirut with a peg-leg and extreme body hair? That's silly.

Besides, how big a coincidence is it for most of your bfs/gfs to live within 100 km of you right now? The World is such a big place, and the majority of you live so close to them? And actually, what are the chances of you being in the same city (or same part of the world) at any point in your lives? Probably slim, especially when she's pulling tricks in Beirut, poor girl. :(
 
I kinda don't... I beleive there is one type of people that people are into.
Example:
Bob is Jane's type
Jane is Bob's type
then they match and fall in love. :p
Theres no "one" because if there was what if the your "one" lived on the moon? How would you ever meet them? what if you never? would you live the rest of you life in a small flat slowly killing yourself with drinking and smoking while watching Drop Price TV?
 
And if you take in account every dead person who has existed, the romantic vision of "the one" gets even more ridiculous.
However, I've found a pretty good "one" :D
 
When I saw the title, I thought it was gonna be about "Neo". :D

No, I dont believe in "the one". I did, but she left. :rolleyes:

But then, what's really weird is I'm currently talking to a girl I met online (friendster) everyday for the past 2 months either by phone, msn or webcam and she's literally half way around the world. I'm going to meet up with her when I go to Hong Kong in 3 weeks and this trip was planned before I met her. I'll see if she's "the one" when I see her. :)

That pretty much sums up how I feel, there certainly isn't just one person in the whole world who you is 100% perfect for you, it's just when you find someone who is pretty damn amazing that it feels like that and you don't want to be with anyone else.

I think that love is probably a sliding scale, but I suspect that if you find someone else who is only slightly better than your current partner that you won't "switch", but if they are a lot better you will.
 
Depends on what you consider "the one". Due to our limits, time, our physical world, and what not, we are limited to certain situations, which in the end usually comes up with "the one" There are probably plenty of others around the world but there are too many constraints. If we lived as orbs of energy with telepathic like communication and the ability to go anywhere, no restrictions, it would be more of like a computer matching thing. Which would be more proficient, but lacks, what we humans call, soul/heart. yea... I'll stop talking now, I think I'm going off on a tangent.
 
Not sure on if there is just "one", but through her personality and events we've been through she has become "the one" for me.
It was also love at first sight with her too. Very strange really, I even had dreams that more or less came true. It's actually all a very long string of coincidences and luck.

Yea. Obviously "the one" is just someone who ticks all your boxes, and perhaps if you're lucky, you will tick all their boxes too.
I always saw "the one" as being a short way of saying "the one I will marry" or "the one I will spend the rest of my life with". So in that respects. Yes I believe in "the one".
 
I wonder how old people are and if age plays a role. I find that I'm young an idealistic so I tend to lean towards in believing in the "one." But I also believe that many of you are right. It can just be right chemistry.
 
I don't believe in "the one" but I believe in compatibility.

I don't think that anyone is ever going to find someone who doesn't bother them in some way and who likes all the same things and is exactly what they've searched for all their lives. That's a load of crap.

The idea is to find someone who you love and who loves you back and who you enjoy being with and who you want to be with forever.

I love my boyfriend very much and want to be with him for a long long time, but there are still things that bug the hell out of me about him.

If "the one" existed then that would mean that someone has achieved perfection in a human being - afterall, nobody seeks imperfection. The trick to figuring out and being able to identify "the one" is to realize that imperfections play a part in making your partner perfect for you!

But that's just my opinion.

No.

because (among other things) putting it like that implies fate, which I don't really buy into.

I think there are simply good matches and bad matches. - and luck.

and for the record, this is from someone who is very much in love. :)
 
It can't possibly be right. Think of those whose partner has died. Do they all just pine away and die in loneliness or do they mostly find someone else after a few years of piecing themselves back together?

The concept of The One in that scenario also leads to all sorts of jealousy issues about who really was The One for the widow/er who has remarried? Really unhealthy stuff down that path.

Just because someone's partner dies, doesn't mean the survivor pines away and dies in lonliness IF that person was indeed the one.

Maybe they piece themselves back together but won't find a person like that ever again. I know someone in this situation.

I think the love transcends death. And although there may be a "one" for you, there may also be other ones out there: "one2", "one3", etc. Not that this makes sense from a logic standpoint. But it makes sense to someone who is young and idealistic like myself.
