How many people did you seriously date/love/envision yourself with before you found "THE ONE"? Those of you who are still searching, how many have you (see above and add 'd's) and are still searching. Please keep in mind this does not count crushes.

three.
I'm at 3 as well.
what's fun, for me anyway, is looking back at them, over ten years ago they are, and thinking "was that real? did i really love them?" and discover that yes, it was real.
serious dating would only really be two i think. not serious dating is probably 8 or 10 short-ish relationships.
i think i loved each of them. i thought i was "in love" with only one. I believe that i was really in love, as much as i knew how to be at that time. it bugs me when kids or teens say they love someone and grown ups say "no you don't. you don't know love." because i think that they DO love the other person in the way that they know how.
someone could easily say that, compared with the buchanans, I don't know love and how dare i claim to be in love having not been through all that they have. but for me the answer is "with all that i know of love at this point, that's what i feel for my husband." i know that ideas and feelings of love evolve and deepen through experience, but i think anyone who believes they love another person truly does. when we look back and think "how could i have thought i loved that person?" it's because what we know and believe love to be has evolved.
i'll spare you my take on "the one."
also, i love you.
wait, the buchanans? what?
Not including the real "the one" only one.
I can only claim one and that is Eric, but what an amazing experience we had falling in love. The other people I dated I was not in love with...it was great like or I liked the idea of them. Meeting Eric and falling in love with him was challenging because I really had to ask myself, "What is love?" My entire future was on in the line which wasn't always pleasent because I have a messed up past that gives me no examples (of relationships) to look at. It's a leap that I do not regret and I look foward to each day and what ever lies in store for us.
RM- what i meant was that someone could easily look at ben and I and say that we don't have "real love" for each other compared to the depth of love and commitment someone like the buchanans or the bergs have...my point was that we can't compare it...like i can't say to a kid "you don't really love that guy" because they do love with as much as they know how.
make sense?
i'd say . . . one.
i really did love him. and i still do in that "i care what happens to you in life and wish you only the best" way.
but it is hard to know that he has so much of me that i can't get back . . . it sometimes makes things weird.
Truth be told, there have been none for me besides David. I only had crushes and a few failed attempts at dating.
Four.
