What makes someone a “once in a lifetime “ type of girl or guy? Have you ever met such a person?

Question

Simslover92 · Accepted Answer

I know this is supposed to be a romance/dating question but the only person I've met who I consider once in a lifetime person is my bestie who is a girl. We've been through so much together. Nearly died together. That kind of bond you have with a person is just monumental. She is like my twin, my other half. I don't know what I would do without her.

When being with him feels like I'm home and he feels the same way. Then you add that undeniable spark... and that's it. I've met 2.

DishLady · Answer

I have met a few people like that -- and matched them with their "one and only". I've also been told I'm a "once in a lifetime" sort of woman many times, but I've yet to find the guy who is the good match for me... It's kind of like being an "O+" in an ocean of "AB" types. I'd rather stay alone than be matched with someone incompatible. Still, I can see the goodness and rare qualities in other people... and help them find the person who is right for them.

When you have at least found your twin flame even if you had to wait until you were 62 when you found him.
He was someone who I could tell him anything and he felt the same way.
They are the one and only person you want around you when you are sick and somehow just having them there with you makes you feel better.
They are the only one who finally gets all of your jokes and you spend most of your time laughing together and even slow dancing in the living room together.
They get you like no one else does.
The silent times aren't uncomfortable that is a tiny break from giving each other so much love and laughing together until you almost but your gut.
Someone you never ever thought that you would find in your lifetime and then one day they appeared! You knew it and he knew it. You were meant for each other.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Yeah I felt like we were two peas in a pod. We had similar thoughts, hobbies, liked the same things, had the same mental health issues, were both attracted to each other. Then we went our separate ways for a few years, but we came back like no time was apart, but then it was all bad because he had changed, he was damaged by the world and so was I, and we didn't fit together anymore. I think that is why it was so hard to get over him even though we didn't actually date was because I never met someone I felt so on the same wavelength before and it really sucked to lose that. It still hurts now.

Purpleronnie · Answer

That sounds like the fodder of a Disney film or a bad romance novel because I choose to believe that we all generally have the same depth or capacity. A few times in my life thus far I have believed that I have found really special or perhaps rare but then the majority of people could share the same quality or attribute , it’s just that I haven’t seen it or been shown it or would naturally see that side of them as defined by our type of relationship.

I believe the majority , if not all people have that same capacity least to surprise , if not the propensity , motivation or desire to do so

Angelo75 · Answer

Well the funfact is that you run (mostly by pure chance) into someone that happens to understand that a relationship needs a lot of effort. This person is very much intended to do almost whatever it takes to keep the relationship healthy.
Since (thanks to the media) there are a lot of people thinking that relationships is about what you can "get" out of it instead of what you can "give" into it, there are not many of those people left with the correct attitude.

Add to the mix that there are also a lot of people out there that think that we are supposed to meet "the perfect match" before starting something. So they won't bother to look around them.

Then what you get are a lot of people not knowing what relationship is about, or just one of them pursuing someone who actually doesn't know. Result is... headaches... heartbreaks and all kinda problems.

Tarifa · Answer

I sincerely think there are more than one such people you meet during a lifetime. It's rare, but not exclusive to one person : someone with whom everything clicks into place and where you say "she's the one I could spend the rest of my life with".

I felt that with a previous partner, I'm feeling it with my current partner and I've felt it for someone I can never be with. So I think I've been in all imaginable situations.

Lottydotty · Answer

I think I've met a couple tbh. Like kinda defeats the "once" part but they were just socially inspiring for me, smart, athletic, hilarious, a party leader, creative, approachable, LITERALLY SANG LIKE ANGELS, last and not least she was the most gorgeous girl I'd seen. The other is perfectly opposite and THE most beautiful woman possible.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I meet people with the intention to meet them more than once :)

As for what you may have had in mind actually... I have met one when I was in my early 20's. I could not point out what made her ''special'' - the only thought that's left meanwhile is: ''what, if..."

Shiprex · Answer

I think my wife is one of those and perhaps she's learning that too now. Anyone can be a once in a lifetime person for another though it takes you wanting to make them that.

Alex-Snow · Answer

I'm 19 and have not met a girl like that yet and do not want a ltr relationship till I finish college. But some of my girlfriends have been wonderful. It was fun to be open and honest with them and to share some great orgasms with them

Iron_Man · Answer

A true life, time, partner, and friend, a girl with a heart of gold that will back you all the time and help you because she cares and is not looking to gain something out of it a girl that’s loyal and faithful and will take care of her man

DryGermanGuy · Answer

I'm sure there are "rare people", just as someone can have the proverbial rare day, but "once in a lifetime people" sounds a bit too far-fetched...

exitseven · Answer

My wife is somebody that was too good to be true.

Anonymous · Answer

A person who compliments your being.  I'm sure people like that exist for others, we'll see if they do for me.

SotiCoto · Answer

Yeah. Loved and lost. What made her special was that she was one of the only people I've ever known who had a similar disregard for conventional morality as myself... and also elated in the pain and suffering of fools.

NicholasRedone · Answer

@pearl222 that just some weird ego people - can't stand the types out there - I don't date journalists, news anchors, producers, emergency workers, anyone in front of a camera or behind it - 🥴

DonaldDarko · Answer

No, they all turned out to be just ordinary. All the day dreams we have about someone of the opposite sex are just illusions from within our selves.
