Okay... I don't want to sound all too romantic but I just want to get this off my chest right now. Regarding love, How do you know he/she is the one? Better yet, does a person know or feel it?

I'm curious why some lovers would say that he/she is the one. What do they really mean by that? When asked how did they know, they'd either give you a long list of their partner's characteristics that appeal to them or they'd just shrug their shoulders saying I just know/feel it.

Yet, the question still stands: How do you know? Is it just the characteristics of a person? Is it the connection that you make? Is it something magical? Or is it destiny? Or it's just it?

    Frankly, I don't know.
     
    I'd like to think I married him :)
     
    Otherwise, it just plain sucks! Oh well. Just have to live with it.
     
    If you're not killing each other, I guess it will do :)
     
    Sorry, I really don't know.

    The 1: Is "That" person who will go to the ends of the earth 4 u. Who will take all ur shit and at the end of the day will still wrap their arms around u and love u regardless. The 1: is " That" person who is the only one in the room in a room full of people. The 1: is "That" person u can shit, fart or vomit in front of and they will love u and think ur beautiful regardless.

    I don't think there's any real right or wrong answer to this question, but I'll tell you how it worked for me. 

    I met my fiance on eharmony.com.  He drove to my hometown and met me at a restaurant.  The moment he stumbled into the door, I knew that something was different.  He walked in, hugged me, and before I knew it, a hoard of people crowded into the waiting room.  He lost me for a few seconds, but soon grabbed my hand, and said, "I've got you."

    At that point, I lost my heart.

    Throughout the date, I was incredibly nervous.  I made sure I didn't eat like a pig and that I didn't have food on the edge of my cheek. 

    But this is when I knew:

    We were getting ready to part ways for the night.  We were sitting on a bench, and we hugged.  At that moment, I didn't want to let go.  It felt as if he was the other half of me that had  been missing for so long.  I'm also divorced and never felt this with my first husband, so I knew something was different.  We hugged about six times, and we practically had to pull ourselves from each other's arms. 

    At that moment, I thought to myself, "This is the man I'm going to marry."

    And sure enough, this April, I am marrying that man.

    honestly, i think that it works on a subconscious or perhaps instinctive level, but when i hit that point w/ the woman i was then dating, i knew she was the one i wanted to be my wife. i...just knew.

    I don't know if we ever really know if they are the right one.  Things change and if you marry someone then obviously you think they are the right one.
    My mom told me once that if you can look at a person and envision them bedridden and you had to take care of them for hte rest of your life and you still would be happy to be with that person, then you know you they are right.
    I agree with HH on it.

    When they are not around...you feel empty and when they are around you're complete.
