With such a large number I feel I should have met at least one of these people. 842,554 people are “the one” for me. With such a large number I feel I should have met at least one of these people.

But after adjusting for the population of my metropolitan area vs the rest of the US... the number dwindles to 136.9 people 'nearby'... ouch! And I live in a decently populated area too. 15,205.

Love is not a checklist. I've been with my husband since we met at 17 (which was 18 years ago :-) In 18 years we've grown together and apart over and over. Our views have changed, hobbies, interests, lifestyle. Basically though, our morals match up, we are attracted to each other, and we thoroughly enjoy doing anything together. THAT's what counts. Oh, and we love your blog. Fun to think about it that way but….not realistic. Love is not a checklist.

I have question relating to this. Have you revisited your views about "oneitis"? Beacause it really seems there might not be so many "right ones" as we may have thought.
