10 Signs to Know If They're the One for You
You’ve been dating someone you’ve liked for a long time. They’re interesting, they’re fun - and most importantly - they’re into you too! But when do you commit? Should you pop the question and propose marriage? Do you know how to know if they're the one?
Finding “the one” in a relationship can feel like chasing a dream, but it’s about connection, compatibility, and trust. For many, it’s less about perfection and more about finding someone who feels like home. So, in this blog, let’s explore what makes a relationship truly special.
10 Signs to Know If They’re the One for You
So, how do you know someone is the one? Sorry to burst your bubble - but there’s no definite rule set. It all boils down to your intuition. However, there are certain signs that you can look out for! It all involves paying attention to how you feel around them and how they align with your values.
If you’ve noticed these 10 signs - you’re one step closer to the one.
Your Nervous System Isn’t Hay-wired: You feel excited to see them but also at peace. There’s no constant anxiety or unease—instead, their presence feels calming and reassuring.
They Support Your Authenticity: They love you for who you are, not who they want you to be. Whether it’s your quirks, passions, or imperfections, they celebrate your true self.
You Share Core Values: From life goals to personal principles, your values align. Whether it’s a shared passion for activism or mutual respect for honesty, you’re on the same page and don’t have to convince them to respect the values that you hold close.
Communication Feels Natural: You can talk about anything—from dreams to fears—without judgment. Even during disagreements, mutual respect leads the conversation, not chaos. A chaotic lesbian relationship is NOT your forever relationship unless you want to be miserable forever.
They Bring Out Your Best Self: When you’re together, you feel motivated and inspired to be the best version of yourself, not because they demand it but because their support energizes you and reaching mutual goals inspires you.
You Trust Them Completely: Trust isn’t a question. You feel secure in the relationship, knowing they have your back and that your bond is built on honesty.
Laughter Is a Constant: From inside jokes to spontaneous silliness, you’re always finding reasons to laugh together. They feel like your partner in joy.
You’re Comfortable with Silence: There’s no pressure to fill every moment with chatter. Their company alone is comforting, and shared silences feel as meaningful as words.
Challenges Bring You Closer: When life throws curveballs, you tackle them as a team. Instead of driving a wedge, difficulties deepen your connection and commitment to each other.
You Plan a Future Together: They are confident in their relationship with you, just as you are about them. This relationship feels “balanced,” like no one is trying so much harder than the other. There is no convincing anyone of each other’s value, and you both desire to continue the journey of life together.
But What If I Feel Doubtful Now?
Still find yourself asking, “How do you know if they're the one?” after going through the 10 signs? One simple way to know someone is The One is if after taking all of this into consideration, you are more sure than ever about your partner, and NOT doubting.
If you currently have a partner you are NOT sure you want to continue building a relationship with, or maybe you feel sure and excited, but they are not as emotionally invested as you…but you long to find your forever life partner…it may be time to cut ties, part ways, and find someone more aligned for you who wants a lifelong commitment as well.
