I’ll never forget the moment that I realized I met someone special. Now, trust me, us being perfect for each other was far from reality—but something in the way we connected, the small things that made me feel safe and seen and delighted on the inside—it was just undeniable.
You can’t manufacture those feelings. I know you can’t. Sometimes you just have to stop overthinking and pay attention to what your heart’s telling you.
Over the years, I’ve realized there are certain signs and traits that show up when you really do meet someone special. Guys and girls that are meant to be in your life. Although perfection is rare, I’m going to break down the top 10 signs you can look for when you meet someone that you click with.
10 Signs Someone Is Meant for You
1. You Feel Safe Around Them
When you meet someone you connect with on a level that matters to you, you feel safe.
- You can be yourself around them.
- You aren’t worried about being too awkward because you laugh together about it.
- Sometimes you don’t even have to say anything at all.
- You can tell them your fears, weirdness, and shortcomings.
If you feel comfortable showing your whole self to someone and you know they would accept you no matter what, THEN THAT PERSON IS SPECIAL TO YOU!

2. They Want You to Better Yourself
One of the greatest loves of all is supporting your partner through thick and thin.
- You support each other’s dreams and goals.
- They won’t let you stay stuck in a comfort zone if they know you’re capable of more.
- Sometimes they’ll give you constructive criticism to help you along the way.
- Being around them makes you want to be the best version of yourself.
If someone you’re dating holds you back, they are not your person.

3. Communication Is Effortless
Communication can be tricky. But when you meet someone you really click with, you two will automatically work well together.
- You can talk about anything.
- You can joke around and tease each other without getting offended.
- If you do have a problem, you can nip it in the bud rather than sweat it and build up resentment.
- You feel understood when you speak from the heart.
There is a reason why people say communication is key. If you can talk to your significant other about everything and feel great afterward, that’s a huge sign that they could be THE ONE.

4. They Accept You For Who You Are
No one is perfect. But when you meet your person, they accept you for you and ALL of your weird quirks.
- They love your little quirks.
- You don’t have to explain every reason why you do/say/think the things you do.
- They support you and want you to be you.
- When you screw up, they are there to help you fix things.
Acceptance is underrated. If you can accept your partner for their flaws and they can accept yours, you’ve got a great foundation to build from.
5. You Have Similar Values
Just because you share the same interests doesn’t mean you’ll CLICK with someone.
- You have similar views on what you want in life.
- You may even have similar dreams (i.e., wanting kids, traveling, where you want to live, etc.)
- You both have similar morals and you won’t disagree on every little thing.
Relationships are hard when you and your partner have different views on important aspects of your life.
6. You Feel An Emotional Connection
Physical attraction is GREAT, but if you can’t seem to spark that emotional connection with your significant other, you may want to reconsider your relationship.
- You can tell them your innermost fears and dreams.
- They listen to you without any judgment and provide empathy.
- You feel seen by them.
- Sometimes you don’t even have to speak because you both just understand each other.
Similar to great communication, an emotional connection is a huge sign that you’ve met someone special.
7. You Both Have Your Own Lives
Crazy enough, but you don’t have to lose yourself when you find “the one.”
- You both have hobbies you spend time on away from your partner.
- You both have friends you spend time with outside of each other.
- You both have goals and aspirations that you are working on whether they include your partner or not.
You should never have to feel like you lose your own identity when you start dating someone. You both should enhance each other’s lives, not be each other’s entire world.
8. They Make You Smile / Laugh
Relationships should bring you joy! If you can’t smile or laugh around your partner, then you may want to jump ship.
- They know how to cheer you up when you’re feeling down.
- When you’re around each other, you constantly smile and laugh at things.
- They brighten your day.
If you enjoy your time around your partner and can’t stop smiling when you’re around them, treasure that because not everyone can say they have that type of relationship.
9. You Can See Your Future With Them
If you can picture your future happening with this person by your side, then they might just be THE ONE.
- You think about the future and you want them in your life for that future.
- You make long-term plans that include them.
- When you talk about your dreams and goals, they make you excited to achieve them WITH them.
Seeing your future with a person is a big sign that they could be THE ONE.
10. Your Gut Says It’s True
Last but not least, one of the best ways to tell if you’ve met someone is by listening to your gut.
- When you’re around them, you feel happy, calm, and safe.
- If something pops into your head about them hurting you in the future, you quickly let that thought go. Doubting is normal, but when your gut is telling you that they’re the one, those thoughts will come and go rather than being there all the time.
- You just know.
Don’t overthink it. If your gut is telling you that you met someone special, chances are YOU DID!
