I am in high school (16 ears old), and I have never been in a relationship. All this time I have been planning on saving myself for someone special instead of having multiple relationships that i know won't last.
Of course, just like any other human being, I have been heartbroken multiple times due to rejection. But I learned from all the mistakes I caused, and at the moment, I can tell what's right from wrong. I don't take love for granted anymore at all.
How would I know how to find the right one? How would I know if I come across someone in my life and they turn out to be the right one?
Most importantly, how would I know if I am responsible enough for a real relationship? I feel like I'm pretty wise when it comes to this type of stuff, because I am really cautious, but how do I know? Is it common to find true love in college?
And is finding true love as complicated as how some people make it seem?
In general I just one to know how to find the "right one"...
Thanks.

Just wait until you meet the one you are happy with and you really like being with them!

But anyway I really hope you find what your looking for! If you ever need someone to talk to message me!!!

The right one.

My opinion on this is that the right person is compatible with you.

When you're young and a relationship is new and exciting you always think the person is right for you, then when you get to know them or something goes wrong you end up heart broken because they're not the person you initially assessed them to be.

You will know they're right for you because after 6 months to a year of knowing them, things are still great, people change but the fundamentals will stay the same.

The relationship will just work, you guys will have your own flow, work evenly as partners and always be able to have fun together.

That's how I think they're right for you.

1. You're 16, finding the right one? And what exactly do you plan on doing once you find hte 'right one'?

2. You want a meaningful relationship, but you don't know if you'll miss the 'right one'.



Here's my 2 cents:

You should definitely not go around hooking up with random dudes, but don't keep fixating on wanting a serious relationship. You're stil very young, and need to be having fun right now.
And there isn't a 'right one' as in there is only ONE right guy, there are a lot of good people out there, and you'll meet one for sure.

It can be worrying that you haven't been in a meaningful relationship ever, but like I said, you're 16. No one's marrying the person they were in a relationship with when they were 14-16. Right now, people are in a relationship for the fun of it, or maybe because of peer pressure.

I personally haven't been a serious relationship, but the fact that I have some 10 more years to go before I have to take this relationship stuff seriously.

And having fun doesn't mean you ought to start having sex with all the random dude, because it's 'kewl', cause it's not.

Just try to have fun for now. Things always have a way of working out in the end.

Thanks guys!

Im always glad to help

Yeah, nice answers
...ust wait until you meet the one you are happy with and you really like being with them!...

Keep going on with life, and someone will surely pop up your way. There is no certain way to find the "right one" but life and fate will surely make you two find a path to each other.

My hypothesis is that when you meet the right ones, you won't be able to stand them at first, or you won't feel like you are interested in them at least!

It's really the time for humanity to take a dump.
