Is This "The One"?

by Shiraz shoukat on December 18, 2011

in loveFinding "the one" is the bread and butter of chick flicks but in a world populated by nearly 7 billion people the odds of finding a one-and-only soul mate are statistically close to zero. So why do so many people say "I just knew he (she) was the one!" shortly after meeting the person they eventually marry? In a new  23% of the 2000+ married female respondents "knew he was the one" immediately and an additional 25% knew after a few weeks.  It wasn't a nationally representative sample of women and hindsight is often distorted, but there is something to these quick epiphanies - it's about timing. Any partner who is a good-enough match on core values, sexual attraction and personality features has a good shot at suddenly becoming "the one" when two other things are in place - mutual emotional maturity and situational readiness.
