"How do I know when I've found The One?" Austin, Baltimore, MD

This idea of finding "The One" is problematic for relationships. The paradox of choice creates a real sense of anxiety for people looking to find a longterm partner. The expectations of this one person to satisfy all of our many emotional, physical, and spiritual needs is a tall order for one individual.

Perhaps, instead of looking for a person who checks all the boxes, focus on a person with whom you can imagine yourself writing a story with. And there are no perfect stories.
