I wish there was a way to "just know".
I thought I "knew" a few times. Apparently I was wrong...

"You may know, but the other person won't until you get over it.

Then some how they magicly realize what they have lost.

And spend the rest of their lives trying to replace you. "

->that's what my ex is doing now

"You just know" does happen. It happened to me. Unfortunately when they go and die on you, you gotta start all over. ~sigh~

Norcal--that's infatuation! I think that "knowing" grows with the relationship. That initial fascination (with a healthy dose of hormones) keeps you interested while you are finding out about one another, and how compatible you are on a deeper level: then you know.

I hear this ALL THE TIME from a lot of my taken friends, and I really do think it's bs to be honest. Theres no way you can know how compatible you are with someone right after meeting them. I'm tired of hearing this line from my parents. lol.

I have totally thought that about men before, and they turned out to be completely psycho after getting to know them better! The most you know after a first meeting is whether you would bang them or not.

"I just know" if there is a connection.
Takes time and effort to know if it can work.

If it does, someone will say:
"I just knew".

But there was more to it than that.
That was only the start.

I've "known" many times. And been wrong most times :-P So, I don't get this at all, never have.

I think sometimes you have an instant connection with someone. But you don't "know" a damn thing until much later, after you "know" them.

But they were the right person for you ... at the time.
I think sometimes that life would be easier if we quit looking at the big picture so much and just enjoyed today.

Hm, well, I would think it is rare, but having experienced it, I can attest that it happens.

We ......................... just knew.

Three months after meeting, he asked me to marry him and ten months after meeting we got married. We've been married for seven months and yes, we argue.

The first three months under the same roof were very difficult, but we muddled our way through it.

Sure, it is still difficult at times as we don't always see eye to eye on the usual things (finances, children and chores). This just makes us one of your average couples that deal with those very things every day.

Does it happen?

Yes, it sure does.

Yup...it's true. When I was in a 5 year relationship I used to go around asking married people...how do you know...and I always got the answer..."you just know"...and I didn't understand/couldn't relate....until I met someone the night after the 5 year ended...and within 10 days something told me he was the one...from that I learned...if you have to ask or don't know...then he ain't it...because you just know.

People say "you just know" when you meet the right person, but do you?

Yes, you do "know".

You know to the extent that there's something (or a combination of somethings) that distinguish that person from all others before. It can be in your conscious, or subconcious, or a combination of the two.

It's not necessarily an indication that you are a good match. Emotions are funny that way. They are duplicitous in nature. But they are a force. After that it becomes a choice of what to do. Follow it, or deviate away from it.

The problem is, that often people will feel something of that nature and it turns out to be a mirage of sorts. Then people will question "it", and themselves. Sometimes concluding that it is merely a fabrication of their own mind. But it's really only based on their experience, which is what reality is based on.

If they haven't ever felt it, it's not real. But absence of proof, is not proof of absence. The null hypothesis.

Some people experience a different reality, where that instinctual "feeling" actually turns out to be real, and thus the feelings become prophetic.

You might just know for awhile. The sad thing is that people change and grow apart.

Relationships do take work. They can't just simmer on the back burner. Both parties have to make it a priority to do whatever it takes to make it work when the going gets a little tough for one reason or another.

I thought the last relationship I was in was the one, turned out she had a horrible temper, had no self control and ended it over a issue that could have easily been fixed. I have met the one twice and neither one worked out so I guess they weren't really the one.

IMO I used to think that "you just know" is a load of BS. I heard it from friends in the past and I couldn't help but think to myself "j'ya right, as if"! But you know what, I was proven wrong.

Looking back, I just knew (in my heart) who was NOT the one for me until I met the one that made me realize that "you just know" does in fact happen. You also need to be true to yourself to figure out who the certain one's aren't for you and weed them out of your life as soon as possible.

So yes you will know when The (right) One comes into your life it just takes a little time and patience.
