Ok so its late and I am tired. I was reading through the Mr. Right thread and something occurred to me . . . but keep in mind its late so it might take me a minute to get you there . . .
Ok. We have the idea of Mr. Right and Mr Right now (Boys have very different terms for these two animals-but thats a different thread).
And then I thought about love. I haven't been alive long but I have been in love with more than one Girl friend.
Although the memories have become a little hazy.
Now I have NEVER thought about marriage even playfully with these chicks, though some have mentioned it (again its a guy thing).
Let me stop hyperventilating.
Ok then. My questions for you are this:
Have you ever been in love more than once? And cast yourself back. Strong love.
Especially you practicers of seriel monogamy. Multiple-multi-year relationship people(you make my skin crawal, I did a thesis on you). You know who you are, you're 22, started at 15 and have had three relationships: 15-19,20-22 oh and the one that just started lol 
Sorry for the rant.
Ok So how come if you were so deeply involved with some of these kids they were not "The One". I mean some of these people you totally adored. You loved them so much it hurt sometimes. Was it timing?
Because we all know marriage can be a timing thing, so is that a factor in being "the one"?
And if thats a factor, doesn't that negate the idea of "the one"? That one and only soul mate? Your other frigging half?
Maybe "the one" is someone you are in love at the time you are ready to marry?
Chew on that gristle lol. But seriously I have to be making some sense here right?
Should we admit that "The One" is in most cases the person you are in-love with (I hope) or at least with when you decide to marry?
