::Disagree. There is no true one. You join in commitment and make it work. Because, even if there was a true one, what if "the one" mucked up, and didn't pick her true one. We'd have to assume that both people would be capable of picking out their true one love. What if yours mucked up and ended up addicted to drugs, went insane, or worse. So, at this point we have to assume that the true one would be good enough to avoid all that. Then, they'd have to be better at us at recognizing their true love. They'd have to better at us at building relationships to make up for our inadequacies. They'd have to be better at us at a lot of stuff. And if they were better than us, then we'd be unequally committed. We'd be the butt of all the screw ups. Everything we did would be wrong. It would be marriage hell. No, I like the idea that me and my wife picked each other, and we are equally inadequate, and that our love for each other is what makes us strive to make it work. That to me, is more romantic than finding a one that I'd always feel inadequate to have. [[User:Cflare|Cflare]] ([[User talk:Cflare|talk]]) 14:36, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

::I disagree with the last sentence of the explanation.  I think it was not Cueball that was the "last guy in that situation".  I think it is Cueball or someone else observing Cueball, and making a comment about a previous person.

:In general I do not edit other posts but here was something broken. I am pretty sure this comic refers to the movie {{w|The Graduate}} feat. {{w|Dustin Hoffman}}. Hoffman became very popular after it was released AND the ending of that movie is very similar to this comic. I will add an incomplete tag for further investigations.--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 19:05, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
