"the one" first time

[miss_klara]

Before I was even dating my boyfriend, and we were just friends, I knew he was the one I'd love for a very, very long time - whether or not he ever reciprocated. When we finally did get together, he knew before we'd hit our first month that I was the one - he'd been in 3 other relationships (for longer periods of time) and had never felt for those girls what he felt for me. What a blessing!!! He proposed to me on Christmas Eve a couple of weeks ago, 1.5 years after beginning our relationship, so we're pretty darn certain that we've both found the one.

I know that there are a lot of people in the world who each of us could've found great compatibility with too, but the particular odds that brought us together are way too amazing to be anything but God... He was living in America and came to study in Australia, a university near my house is the only one he got into. When he got here he was introduced to the grand daughter of one of his grandmother's majong buddies, and she brought him to our church. We went to the same church for a couple of months without ever acknowledging each other, then he happened to walk into the pie store I was working at. He recognised me from church, and from there I fell head over heels. As it turns out, he'd only been planning on living here for 3 years while he studied, but instead quit his course and decided to stay.
I just figure... of all the universities in this country, of all the churches in this city, he happened to walk into mine

My first relationship--heck no! It was good in the short-run but NOT for marriage.

I was 15 and he was my first boyfriend. He was "the one" for me. I'm turning 17 soon and we've been going out for almost two years and he still is my "one."

Haha, yeah, I totally thought my first relationship was "the one." What a joke. Looking back now, I realize I never really loved him, even at the time. And the only time I liked him had come and gone by the time we actually dated.

In fact, I thought my first love would be the one too. What an even bigger joke. Although I do think there is a possibility that I did truly love him. But I don't know and it doesn't matter anymore.

And now, although I have consciously concluded that my current crush may or may not be the one (may or may not even ever be a boyfriend for that matter), I seem to be having difficulty convincing my subconscious of that fact. Oh, will I never learn!

And, by the way, by "the one", I mean the one I will marry not necessarily the one "one."

My fiance told me on the day he asked me out that he intended to marry me. And this is his first relationship. It took me a month or two before I knew I could marry him, and we started talking about it around that time. I have had a few relationships in the past, but i didn't think any of them would end in marriage. So i don't quite know how to answer your poll.

Since i see marriage as outdated and unneccessary except for tax reasons, i so far have never considered marrying, thus never considered any of my girlfriends "the one" in that sense. However, i also never thought of any of my relationships having an "expiration date" - it just happened to be that way in the end.
