How to Know if He/She Is The One

Fool proof formula for love

As I burst out of the shower shouting “Eureka!” my husband deftly jumped out of my way and asked for clarification.

Feeling softhearted for his unencumbered mind, I explained I found the foolproof, bulletproof and possibly soundproof formula for knowing if your romantic partner is ‘the one’.

  1. One of you is more social than the other.
  2. One of you has a better memory than the other.
  3. One of you cries more easily than the other.
  4. One of you sits near the window seat and the other to the aisle.
  5. One of you has a weirder sneeze than the other.
  6. One of you gets bitten more by a mosquito than the other.
  7. One of you likes jazz more than the other.
  8. One of you sleeps on the left side of the bed, and the other the right.
  9. There are two of you, and you are one of them.

Awestruck by my wisdom, my husband nodded and slowly walked away to his home office — as if he didn’t want to agitate a mind unleashed.
