    I suppose there is no believing in "the one" then, if I don't believe in fate :lol:. I never cared for the idea that the decisions we make and our paths in life are predetermined, therefore removing any personal responsibility or achievement.

    Nothing is predetermined and lots of different people out there could potentially be the one. That being said I wont ever settle for somebody whos 'just good enough' I'd rather be alone.

    The whole concept of "the One" seems insidious to me. Is guaranteed to leave people forever dissatisfied in some way.

    I do believe in "The One". For me, "The One" is a guy, a girl, a toy, a place, a thing, or an event that will make the other one happy for the rest of his/her life

    Yes and no....

    I think a person can love someone that is their soulmate and if something happens to that person they can love another. But I think there is more too the time you spend and the things you share that creates that soulmate.

    As much as I am a romantic. I don't believe in the cheesy side of it, I believe that you find a person who you naturally connect with who helps you to be yourself and appreciate you warts 'n' all, but should naturally help you to be a better person and not feel you need to feel 'completed' but to know that whatever rubbish you have been dealt with life that you are with some not only because you liked them as a friend in the first place, but to know that you will have someone who will be with you, through the good, the bad and the in-between moments where you know you will both drink them in, override and appreciate them for years to come.

    Personally, I think "The One" exists, but only in our heads.
    In our minds, we have their face, their smile, everything about them already planned out.
    We think 'they'll be this, or they'll be that', but really, life is just learning that that person doesn't exist.
    But one day, if you're lucky, you'll find someone who makes you forget the person you made up ever existed.
    That's what I think, anyway :slight_smile:
