The goal of finding a soulmate is placed on us almost from birth, and it can feel impossible especially when single to escape it. Why is it so important that we settle down with only one person? Samantha examines the myth of the one from a polyamory perspective.

Editor's Notes
- Why dont you settle down?Heres a nice boy / girl
- Top page image results for Is he the one
- Only one person in the whole wide word of billions and billions of people. Doesnt that seem ridiculous?
- You can have sexual chemistry with enemies
- Being single means that you get time to yourself. You dont have to coordinate logistics with anyone
- Lets leave everything up to fate or destiny and make a vision board
- People stay in shitty relationships because theyre sooooooulmates. You can get into ruts and not put any effort into things because you dont NEED to. Everything will just be perfect because thats what soulmates are.
- We all have different people in our lives for coffee shop dates, going to the movies, alleyway makeouts, gossip, fantasy sports pools, and so on. Why do we have to have just one person to be our love mate
- Ive had moments of dating other people besides my husband that Ive been convinced were my other Ones
- So youre totally convinced that youre with the one, and then you realize that theyre a dick
- Just because one person is great at something that someone else isnt doesnt mean they wont suck at something else.
- The Weather Girls you cant just sit there expecting The One to knock on your door with a ring and a key to your new house in the burbs
- Whether its a one time thing
- Whether you want to settle down or not
- Dr. Phil what can I do today to make my relationship better
- Soulmates/ kindred spirits / theyre just for your bed anymore
- This is for all the people in the room that already feel like theyve found the one
