Is she the one?


**** Interesting article I've read in Yahoo. Is your girl already the one? How are we to know. Guys and gals, this might be of help! :P

Because there is no manual for relationships, couples are left to figure things out for themselves. But perhaps, for the men, the biggest issue that they have to figure out asks the question that can possibly change lives forever: How do you know that the girl you're dating today is 'The One' for you? Indeed, how do you become certain that you want to spend the rest of your life with this girl?
For these eight men, the answer to that question came in varying degrees of speed but with the same huge impact. One realized he and his best friend were meant to be together when he saw her drinking beer from the bottle, just one of the guys; another figured it out when his then-girlfriend accepted him for all that he was, warts and all.
Take a cue from these guys. The answer to your own question may not be as complicated as you think.
Sounding board
"I have loved many women before but marriage was never a foregone conclusion with any of them. With my wife, I knew she was the one when she took everything I dished out during happy, sad, and mad times, shoved it back to me to make me happier, sadder, or madder, and was still there for me the morning after, ready to start all over again."—Miguel, businessman
No pretensions
"I remember an incident when my wife and I just started dating. We were both dressed to impress for a romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant, but on our way there, a vehicle from the overpass splashed us with water. I immediately looked at her expecting her to be mad but surprisingly she just laughed and wiped our wet clothes. From that point on, I knew she's the girl that I wanted to marry: unpretentious, funny yet drop dead gorgeous."—Jason, producer
Joined at the hip
"Before we were married, we were friends for eight years. We spent an average of 17 hours a day in each other's company while doing theater work, either as actors or as production staff. We knew each other from head to foot."—Bing, property and procurement head
Just 'The One'
"I knew she was the one because it made me happy when I repeatedly attempted to make her smile in various ways (somewhat low success rate because of outrageous number of attempts). I also knew she was 'the one' because there never was any thought of a possible 'the two'" —Neale, caterer
Unconditional acceptance
"Apart from shared interests, similar values, and a symbiotic sense of humor, it was her complete acceptance of me that was the clincher." —Karlo, editorial director
An authentic better half
"At first, it was because we just have a lot of things in common, like she was also into sports like me and we were both training for the Philippine team. We were going together for seven years and I always said that she's my better half, because when I was younger, mainit yung ulo ko and she was always calm. I was not religious but she was. I was not so close to my family but she's very close to hers, so I would always tell myself, she's really my better half."—Greg, sales and marketing executive
Destiny
"When we got together, I felt like everything was how it should be. I was happy with everything about her and wasn't willing to give her up. I soon realized that I couldn't imagine life without her." — Albi, corporate buyer
Best friends
"My wife was my best friend almost from the time I met her. We could have long conversations about anything. And she drank beer from the bottle so I knew she was my kind of girl: walang kaartehan. We had a meeting of the minds, and that was how I knew she was the one." —Hoton, entrepreneur
