Some ‘signs’ you could be dating ‘the one’.
Even when you know your partner’s middle name, favourite takeaway and worst habit, how do you know if they are “the one”?
You may love them now, but what about a year, five years, or even twenty years down the line? Will their ‘OCD’ habit have gone from cute to annoying? Will you end up like those couples who sit across the table from one another with nothing to say, playing with their food?
There’s no surefire way of ever knowing, but we’ve pulled together some signs that you could be dating your soul-mate.
You let them see you in moments of weakness: Yes, they’ve seen you at your best, but they’ve also seen your worst too. Life is good most of the time (hopefully) but sometimes we face difficult moments and you need someone who can support you.
Your friends and family see what you do: If your nearest and dearest like the person you’re with, it is a great sign. If they are begging you to leave, however, listen to their concerns.
Normal is fun: You don’t need to be out at exciting venues or luxury restaurants to enjoy each other’s company. You have good conversation, fun and are interested in what they have to say, even if you are in the most mundane of backdrops.
There’s not much drama: Even the happiest of couples argue but if you are always having turbulence, grudges and a lack of resolutions, then think carefully about committing.
You tell them things that you don’t tell anyone else: This shows that you trust them, one of the single most important things in enduring relationships.
You can be quiet together: You don’t feel the need to talk constantly and fill the gaps in conversation? This is a good thing (and it doesn’t mean you’ll end up like the mutes at the table having dinner).
You have the same life priorities: E.g. You want marriage and kids and so do they. When you are building towards similar personal and professional career goals together, you have a good chance at long-term happiness.
You’re not focusing on their potential: They are who they are and they make you happy. When there’s always “ifs”, “buts” and “when ‘xxx’ changes”, you’re looking at their potential. Those things may never change and if they don’t, you need to ask yourself whether you see yourself with them forever.
So, tell us @lovestruck! Do you think you’ve met your soul-mate? What do you think of other signs you’re with “the one?”
