In a gathering we usually talk about love story during their younger days. I heard that some of them had involve with lots of partners before they settled to the present partner, since this people i talked with were married already.From them i gather an information that to look for the right one, you must collect before you select.When the time you are married, that is the time to select then collect.Do you think that is the measurement of love? Are you infavor of this principle that my friends are doing now?

Well at first statistically speaking we all tend to have an ideal person in our mind or as what society would dictate is ideal. Base on the idea of an "ideal person" we somehow formulate our ways being on that relationship, but the more we do it the more we found out we are just evaluating ourselves in the opposite. In effect (generically speaking), unconciously we are projecting a personality of what lacks us. So in the end the kind of person you end up with will be a person thats either a total opposite of you or an ethereal person - non-existent cause he/she just couldnt be. So in nature it will practically connotes selfish desires on your part & will always break your heart. Its just an opinion that out of the blue. Yours or others perception could be better than this.

I have also heard this philosophy from some friends and relatives. And, to a certain degree, there is some value to it. If you don't really know what you're looking for in a husband/wife, then it might be wise to "shop-around" before choosing who to spend the rest of your life with. For me, that's not the way it worked out. I had been very picky about the people I let in my life, for as long as I can remember. I have a lot of acquaintances, and very few close friends. My husband happened to be my best friend when we had decided to begin dating each other. He was actually my first boyfriend, and now my husband. So, collect and select, if you must. But, if you can get it right the first time, then why waste your energy collecting?

No, I think if we talking about the right person for us, we don't need to ask it to somebdoy else but we must ask it to ourselves first. Is he the one who right for me ? How if he go away, can I accept that? I think each of us alway have the correct answer for ourselves and other opinion is just statement that makes our choice become more right.

well when it comes to my case i have come through 23 girls in my life and each one are different from each other.am not yet married but in my opinion what i can say is that its better to marry a known person rather than unknown person.
