Yes, that is a lovely romantic story, and it's nice to hear when it happens, but it's not a story that I can similarly regale. I've met several women I thought was 'The One', but here I am; single!

I am jelly. Congrats man!!

Yes, but clearly I was wrong...

Beautiful story ?

Had that feeling a few times. But as fate would have it, so far it's been one sided, and the ladies involved didn't share that feeling... still looking.

Yes! I have had that experience as well.

I put "socially awkward" on my nametag. Apparently nobody got the humor in it so I spent most of the night at the bar drinking soda.

Very cool, I love this..

Yes, I did and it was the most wonderful three months of my life. I had the best birthday I'd ever had (or had since), and the best New Years Eve possible. Even the best Valentine's Day. I wasn't expecting him because he had his daughter that day. On the 13th the doorbell rang and there he stood with a huge armful of daffodils -- which he knew were my favorite flower.
What happened? Bad timing. They had married very young and he hadn't had a lot of experience. I was the first woman he dated after his wife very publicly cheated on him and filed for divorce. Almost everyone needs a transition person before they're ready to commit again. It was more intense than either of my marriages and he's the 'one that got away'. When I asked him why he was ending it he said that when he was with other women (I didn't expect him to date me exclusively) all he could think of was me. I didn't then, and still don't over 30 years later, understand that. But of course that didn't matter.

Several times; but it never turned out as well as yours did. Congratulations!

Yes

No I have not

Interesting question....I can't say that the minute I met someone I knew they were the person for me, but there is some kind of chemistry that presents itself that makes me know this person is someone with whom I'll be capable of having a romantic relationship. To me it's either there or it isn't at first sight or sound. I've felt this even when I was speaking to someone on the phone or e mailing and texting without having yet met. I suppose you call it an instinct and it serves me well. Also I think part of this chemistry is the fact that the other person feels it as well. I've never been in a romantic relationship where my partner didn't share that they had this same feeling at first meeting.

Yes, and I remember her still … too bad I’d been married just shortly before..

Yes, unfortunately I spent 10 years, a wedding and had a child before I realised I was futilely waiting for her to feel the same. I'm quite bitter that she let my efforts be the glue holding it all together and now that I'm emotionally spent she's just moved on like it was all nothing.

I've met several people who were the one. Happens all the time. But consecutively, not concurrently.

My last wife I found like that. I met her and I knew already. We married, had a lovely daughter, and lasted Married for 15 yrs. Things have changed but I still love her but this is it. She moved on and has a boyfriend. I am by myself. I see her often as we have a daughter and . \we usually go out for dinner. We did so 3 nights ago. I do not see us getting together again and have to get my own girlfriend and dating is very stressful to me. So I may end up alone, which is better than in bad company.

I fell in love with my neighbor. It was love at first sight. We spent every day together for a little over nine months when he very suddenly and unexpectedly died.

I went to a party that had name badges. I noticed the early arrivals had their own names, a few later ones were a little abstract/trying to be funny. I just wrote CUNT and enjoyed the reaction when their eyes moved from my face to my badge. No one tried to upstage that.
Suprisingly I didn't meet a future wife there.... Big Sunday Love Andy x

I met this amazing woman last weekend...but she lives on the other side of the country so I just don't think it'll work out

No

Ive met two people I thought that was the case with.
