When did you meet 'the one?'

[RainbowBriteUk]

I'm a few years from 40 and after years of a few long term relationships, more short term flings, i'm single. I always imagined I would find my one by now. I don't want much - someone funny, a bit of a geek, quirky and someone who cares for me as much as I care for him. I feel like i'm destined to be on my own forever!

I met my partner at 18 but felt nothing till I was 29, I realised that maybe it’s not about the one but being great friends and taking it from there. I have never had a the instant they are the one.

The one for now - I'm cynical

Never as there’s no such thing.

31 - 10 years later we are married and have a son

I met mine when I was 20. Unfortunately I married someone else!

I was 19 and 23 yrs later happily married with 3 children. I was young and not actively looking for the one but luckily stumbled across him in a back street boozer

31, hes brilliant and I’m extremely lucky to have found him, he must have the patience of a saint

Meeting ‘the one’ for me was when I’d had enough of looking and wasn’t trying to meet anyone. Then there he was. Not obvious either. But 15 years later seeing him as one of my bestest friends, we can talk, laugh, bicker, support one another, take time apart, and be emotionally mature with each other.
I guess it’s not about when will you meet them, but when will you be in a place where it may not matter, you might not be looking, and this person steps into your life without you realising?

27, 2 kids later hes my absolute best friend. I've never felt I had the one before him, not even my marriage before. Still, and think always will be, besotted

About 25 years ago … we were both part of a bigger group … but I just kinda knew.
Started Dating about 20 years ago …. Married for 17 years now. I was 32 when we got married

Age 28 after failed relationships and 3 kids. Met online. Had a baby very quickly, got married a couple of years later. Very happy.

17, we got together when I was 19 , he dumped me just after I turned 20
I'm now 38
Oh well, never mind 🤷‍♀️😂

That is so weird, I met mine exactly 7 years ago today, it just popped up on FB. So I was 35 years old. I wasn't his 'The One' though haha, he hates me now. My current DP is a much better fit but I am of the mind that soulmates/the one can fuck you up, its not always a picnic.

Similar here! I met mine when I was 18. I was too messed up to appreciate him then, and by the time I sorted my head out, he was with someone else.

31 and I count my lucky stars every day, he’s a brilliant husband and dad.

I was 19.

16 - nearly 34 years later we are still happily married with four children and a grandchild on the way!

I'm yet to but I do currently have a partner.

On Tinder. Now married with a 1 year old daughter.

Despite its reputation for just being for casual hook ups, I know a lot of people who met there - in fact, attended the wedding of two in the summer. Lots of couples with kids too.

Oh, sorry, should have said when we were 34 and 39!

June 12th 1968.
Married 1975 and still together.

I was 28. He was my night class teacher. We’ve had a tortured 20 years since not getting together. Craziness.

I don't believe in the one but I was 22 when I met my lovely DH.
