how long does it take to know? (43)
2girlsnocup: 50% is still a good ratio. He was the one at the time, and nothing can change that.
Oh yes, we laughed about it and what's amazing is of course how both truly change after both are situated and start making plans.

lindsyjones: In my culture dragoneer, you have to observe very intently what are the plus and minus on the person's, personality. Sometimes that takes a long time. But in the end it serves well because then you truly feel what you'd be expecting with that person. But of course the dynamics of that time of observation can either make or brake the relationship. One time I felt like there was a hope with this nice suitor, then found out after a couple of drinks, he's a totally different person. So time helped in the decision.
I'm not sure how long it will take to find 'the one', although usually takes only a message or two before I know whether to go for the drink..

lindsyjones: If you met the one that you think will be your better half, or partner in life, how long does it take to feel and know that she/he is the one?
We do write on our profiles who we are and pretty much the sum of who we are looking for. At what percentage do you find those of which you think are the character, traits and or the sum of the personality of whom you have been searching for?
In short did you find him/her of whom you thought would fit your heart, mind and soul?
If so, did he turn out as you wanted him/her to be?
Just curious. Thanks all for your responses.

In meeting someone in real life, one can feel a strong connection almost immediately but it's that true connection that is elusive and likely requires a period of time of togetherness to know. Sometimes we think we know someone very well but we're either mistaken or something has changed over the years but it's best to live in the now. In the virtual world of online dating, we can only surmise based on shared correspondence but the real trick is taking it to the next level of actually meeting. Given that this is an international dating site, I would hazard a guess that most don't wish to pursue anything beyond their immediate area for various reasons. Others will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Some will go through the motions, dream about it and then let it go like two ships passing in the night and it's gone.

I only ever had a relationship with someone I met in RL.
I don't have this "instant reaction" (anymore?). I would know soon enough if I would give someone my phone number (or not) and if I want to see someone again. I have met the special ones through friends and gotten to know them well before we just got it together at some stage.
These days, I do have it that guys grow on me after meeting them a couple of times. If someone isn't for me, I know that usually fairly quickly though.
I think giving something a bit of time is a good thing.

How long have we been acquainted for now? Is any part of me growing on you yet?

For me, I will know instantaneously if the person is a No.
I take longer to decide if they are a Yes.

Very good way of knowing someone K. To know if he's not the one is fast but giving love a chance, takes longer.
Thanks for joining in. Been a while, hope all is well with you?

Indeed Molly, it's the finding out of whether you're happy or not with that person.

The same here!
After the first date I will know if a relationship with that person is a no and for the "yes" it will take me a few more dates. How many? I have not idea.
