You..."The One" doesn't hit you like a truck at all. You meet someone and you can tell that it's going to be special, but only real time and investment makes it clear that she's the one. And even then, real life can still come in and throw you both for a loop.<BR/><BR/>Just in case you need yet another bit of advice: start listening to yourself first and more. What does your gut tell you? You're smart enough to know exactly what you want. It may be the very, very hard choice, it may not be popular, but it's the only one that will make you happy. No one, not even your "One," will take care of you better than you.L. Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636048549849790456noreply@blogger.com
