You're asking the question as if you were buying Lottery tickets...sometimes you win on the first one...somes not.

The Dan guy is right. Sometimes you hit the jackpot the first time; sometimes you gotta gamble over and over, and you never win the prize. Then sometimes you win with a few risks. Okay, let's end the "lottery" metaphor. I think it's a good idea to test the waters before you decide on the lifetime partner. It gives you perspective and makes for a well-rounded partner when you have experienced life with different people. Or else one night in bed, you'll lie there awake and wonder, "Could that have been done a little better?" Or something like that. In other words, it's like comparing what you're getting, and finding the best one. You wouldn't want to eat at the same restaurant all of your life without trying something else, now would you? Well, maybe the eating metaphor wasn't the most appropriate one...

There is no requirement when it comes to how many relationships one must go through to find "the one"? Some people go through a few, some go through alot, and some only have one.

It's mostly luck. You have to find a person who reaches the standards you want (female/male, interests, personality).
It took me one relationship to find the person I feel is perfect for me. But unfortunately this person felt that way for no more than a year. So although you might consider someone the "One", they might not consider YOU the "One".
Great. Now that means we have to find someone special, and they have to think we are perfect as well!
Going through different relationships helps you determine what kind of people you like, what your interests are, etc. If you are lucky you will find that person immediately, but otherwise you will learn and grow!

I dont think you need to however it is a good idea unless you are absolutely sure you want to be with the same person for the rest of your life. Its a good idea because you get a feel for what you really like in a partner rather than meeting someone and being with them forever you dont get to experience having a relationship with someone different.

You must understand you must also find out if you're the other persons "The One". It happend to me, I was head over heels over this guy and turns out he was just "passing by". Its true like the other comment, search for a lifetime or Im sure there's someone compatible with you, then you adapt to him or vise/versa. Good luck, and Im still searching for my one and only.

Of course not.
Ever see '40 year old virgin'?
Seriously, you can be celebate until you find them. Looking at my past, I believe that the sex with people I had who weren't the one, has and will do more to cloud my judgement rather than help me see who is right for me.
Experience is good to make you a better lover I suppose, but it won't help you find the right person to love.

I have been through many relationships and still have not found the "one". I guess she is not out there. I don't care, though, because I enjoy being single now. I hope you find your "one". :)

I think so for most people but i believe that in this world our love is and will always be immature love so looking for the one might take your life time to find
