I’ve heard several people recently talking about finding “the one”.
What is “the one” that they are referring to? I would say that people
mean that it is the person who they feel confident about spending the
rest of their life with. I think most people are searching for this
kind of person, regardless of what they may tell other people. So
let’s say you’ve found someone special in your life, how do you know
that they are “The One”? Here’s a top ten list to help guide you:

10. The sex is incredible- you have never experienced such intense or
frequent orgasms or had the desire for sex in such different positions
or locations, you get the point. Fact is, sex is as much mental as
physical, so if you’re deeply connected to your partner, the sex will
be good.

9. You can talk for hours without being bored- lifelong compatibility
is about having a lot of common interests and having good
communication.

8. You can be silent for hours without being bored- even better than
good conversation is good silence. It shows that you are truly
comfortable together.

7. You lose all sense of logic and reason- you crave to be together
all the time or you start thinking about marriage and/or children way
before it is socially acceptable. You just feel like you want to dive
head first into the relationship and be with your partner always.

6. You can confidently say you have never felt this way before- self
explanatory, if other loves paled in comparison to this one, you might
have just found true love.

5. You have similar life goals- you both want to start a family or
start a business together or go sailing around the world, or whatever.
Love alone isn’t enough- you need to have common life goals.

4. When you look into the future, you can see them in your plans- you
find yourself thinking about having a family or being older or moving
to another city or starting a new job, and your lover is always there,
prominent in your future thoughts.

3. You have the desire to satisfy their needs over and above your own-
you are interested in them as people, interested in their dreams and
passions, their fears and worries. You want to be there for them and
you hold their happiness above your own. For more info on this, look
at my “What is Love?” article.

2. You want to share of yourself as much as possible- you can’t wait
to introduce them to your friends and family, show them old pictures,
and take them to your favorite places.

1. You love and appreciate them for their weaknesses as much as for
their strengths- we all have strengths and weaknesses. However, you
don’t feel critical of your partner for any of their weaknesses, in
fact you appreciate their differences as being unique characteristics
which make them the individuals they are.

Take a look at this checklist. If you find yourself checking off at
least 7 or more of these items, you may just have found yourself “The
One”!
