I once thought so but now that I've met Jules I realized the error of my ways.

:(

sageofages and greeklawgirl -- I agree 100% with you. I spent many years mourning my ex boyfriend when it was my decision to end it, spent too long convinced he was the one....

and then I met mr. amycat and it was as if a lightbulb went off--this is how it is supposed to be, that relationship was just opening me up to everything I could feel when the right one came along.

How sweet are you? I needed that. :)
Now that I have LJ it's bringing out my depressed demons, lol.....:(


And you know what, ppl in this thread?? I am a strong believer in destiny. No matter if you had him and lost him, or had her and she
dumped your ass, you didn't mess anything up. That was meant to happen, to bring you to someone better. Or to make you get up and take control of yourself. Something like that.
All I'm saying is I very firmly believe that we all have a story that's already written, and the person you're supposed to wind up with, you WILL wind up with. So there's really no point in stressing about it, b/c it will happen.

Who cares really? I just buy them enough crap from Tiffanys so they think I'm the one and then I end it.

--at least I got some good stuff from Tiffanys

I think i met him but now he is long gone and we dont even live in the same state.

here is my 2 cents
 

i have a hard time believing in fate/destiny stuff. i dont know how i feel about having one true love. if fate was real, everyone would be happy and in the perfect relationship. but in reality the divorce rate has never been higher. i think that maybe god puts the right person in your life one time, and leaves it to your free will to do with that chance what you will. whether you take it, or leave it. As for the ones that have lost loved ones, and believe they were your "soul mate", i think that maybe thats gods way of letting you know what you deserve. you should never forget them and never accept anything less. if you are patient, one day you will find something so perfect that words will not be able to express. dont give up on something big just because you think it has already passed you bye. life is a funny, weird thing, and never goes in the direction you think it will. my life has been a trip. its what you make it, you can sit there and feel bad or get out and enjoy life while you have it. this life is just a test to get to something better. make the most of it.;)

It was fake.

Good Answer!!!!

To answer the question (and I haven't read any other responses so I may be repetitive), I don't think that there is only ONE person out there for you. I think that there may be a whole bunch of people that you may be compatible with and the paths you take through life bring you in contact with these people. I refuse to believe that there is that one little needle in the haystack...but maybe that's because I haven't found it yet.

Ha ha ha ha, you crack me up

Ditto!!

You know, I hate to be such a realist and I really do wish I could live in the fairy-tale, soulmate la-la land, but I think it's really all about timing. Any number of people could be "the one," if they come along at the right time. I mean, sure, there is one person that you are going to end up with in the end, and that is the one you are meant to be with, but there are a lot of other great people that you could be happy with too. It's all just situational.

I'm really a cynic about these things and I don't really know how I feel about this. I'm just gonna get all Carrie Bradshaw on this and quote Sex and the City, NYC, that's my one true love baby!
I've been dating the city for 18 years. I think it's getting serious. I might be in love.

I'm going to go ahead and be a broken record here- I believe that there are several people you can be compatible with. I have two of those in my life right now, but I chose to marry the one who came second. The first one is my absolute best friend and I believe he's more valuable to me that way. Of course, we had an agreement that if neither of us was engaged at 25, we'd get married. JR just happened to come into my life and sweep me off my feet. Granted, we've had our rough times. I'm a bit of a commitment-phobe and I left three times thinking that I would be happier that way. My heart always won out over my libido. I still have a hard time realizing that I'm committed to this one person and that I'll be with him forever (I'd better be, anyway!). I almost lost him last year and now I won't even take a chance on him walking away.

My husband is definitely the true love of my life. I agree with whoever said there can be more than one out there for you but I don't plan to put myself into the position to find out! I knew within 2 weeks that I was totally in love. We have been through so much together over the last 12 years that I don't think we could ever split up. We've had our ups and downs like anyone else but when it comes down to it I couldn't imagine life without him.
