Hi Do you believe in this? What if the person available is the right one for you? How would you know?

so, waiting for the right person and letting someone wait for you is not actually a good idea.

The answer is we never know if we have met the right person or not. If we did, then divorce rates will be greatly reduce.

it depends on the priority. if you think you just can't wait for relationship, then go for it. otherwise wait for the perfect one.

how would you know if the water is cold or hot if you wont touch it. relationships are risky, sometimes the one who is available is not the right one for you but if he is matured enough and you have an open communication with him he may turn out to be the perfectly one for you. you just dont know you need to take chances

You can never tell. It just happens. If you think that the one available is just for "settling down" to, then that's not the right one. He will come at the right time. I think you just have to wait till it happens. Just be patient, only time will tell when the right one comes.

I'm currently in a 6 years relationship, and my BF keeps on asking me that we should move the relationship to a higher level, like marriage or living in. It's just that I'm confused. I really feel it to that we should also now move. Because we're growing and I want to grow old with him. You're all right every relationship is risky. It takes a lot of trust. Thanks for your replies!

my son had a five year and nine month relationship with his wife...Kelly..and the marriage did not last a year..they both were "spenders" even though they both had good jobs they spent more then they made..and then my son got a real good computer and spent all his time "online" and hooked up with anothe gal..my daughter in law Kelly worked another shift so my son Allen always had a lot of time alone on the computer when his wife was sleeping...i think he could not handle the stress or responsiblility of marriage as he is now 36 and still single and no children...but i just mentioned this to say sometimes people change as no one seen this coming..it was very strange...

Well, I wouldn't know the right person if I don't give it a shot to be in the relationship with him. I don't have to settle down first, better to be in the stage of "get-to-know" stage first before settling down.

this comes with luck and maturity...sometimes people just find the right person right under their nose and it works out but that is not always a reliable method. i can only answer for the men as most men are led by desire then real love interest. after the "honeymoon" period the truth comes out... no couple is "perfect" but the ones that seem to endure are the ones that the couple has the most things in common. family values, faiths, friends and family, worth ethics, hygene, educational levels, and these are just a few... one person may tend to be a introvert and the other an extrover..sometimes this combination works out..but not always...these problems should be worked out during the dating and courting time. my wife was a "saver" and i was a "spender" but i soon learned to become a saver and after almost 23 years i am glad i listened to my asawa as we are retired and can enjoy the fruits of our labor...but it was not always easy! lol

I believe to try is better than stay put. Trying may give us 50% of chance, rather than none is null to zero. Who knows...

we will never exactly know who is the right one. we can just do trial and error . but we have inherent intuition. you can use your intuition to decide whether your present partner is your right one or not.
