If you are looking for 'the one', why would you waste any energy on a romantic relationship that doesn't seem promising enough?

tell us about the man or woman you're thinking of

>How to know you found the one?

This is really intuitive stuff, there is no set of criteria. I'm a guy, 24 years old, am nonvirgin and been dating a fair share some years ago (not doing it right now because I plan to move in half a years time and don't wanna leave much ties behind).

If she feels like a female version of you, like a soulmate, someone you can go to a long trip together, just the two of you, then she's "the one". Yeah it will fade away soon, but the connection you have built by then doesn't.

Think of her when she's old and wrinkly:
- would you still love
- would you still fuck
- would you still care for

Calculate marital compatability and behavior, as well as issues that will arise in the future.

In all seriousness, it's all about how well you work as a team. Are your goals aligned? Don't underestimate the important of having the same goals. Do you still love each other at your worst? Anyone can get along with someone else at their best, but you're going to be stuck with each other, for bother /or worse/ in marriage.

Just a couple of things to think about.

No specific girl in mind. The problem is, I have different types of girls that I'm attracted to (personality wise I mean) and they are pretty different from each other. So what are the traits to look out for so I know this will last? That's the point of the thread

Sometimes I think about how my boyfriend will grow into one of those sour granpas who think everything modern is bullshit and fads are idiotic. He'll tell stupid ass stories about when he was young and lose the train of thought midway, because he does that already. That's sorta why I think he's the one for me. Sure, the sex is fantastic, we suit each others' personalities really well and we have similar outlooks and aspirations. But in the end I'm interested in him as a person, beyond our relationship or my personal investment in him, and I want to see who he grows into and what he does with his life. Maybe I'm wrong and life isn't that simple, but I really do think he's the one for me.

you dont. you just date someone who strikes your fancy, try to work through problems, and leave when it doesn't work. the biggest problem with our generation is we commit during the honeymoon phase. the honeymoon phase should be used to find out IF you like the person, but we act like its marriage and we need a 'good reason' to break up with someone.

if you already knew how a relationship would be before dating, there'd be no point in dating.

I really got lucky with my boyfriend. We were friends for a few years before dating, and he was one of those people you just really 'click' with right from the start. The more we got to know each other, the more similar we were - we had similar ideals and values, similar tastes in TV and music, etc.

In the end, we just get along REALLY well. We've barely had any major arguments or disagreements in the 6 years we've known each other. We have similar outlooks on life, we're each other's biggest cheerleader, and we can trust each other more than anyone else.

There's no such thing as the one. "The one" is whoever you end up tolerating until one of you dies
