How Will I Know He/She is The One?

How will I know He is the One?, laments Aileen. What a common question to most of the single people out there.

But I thought “Just you wait and see, my future boyfriend is going to be a mestizo, and he is going to be smart and sexy!” Of course at the time I met my boyfriend , I didn’t expect him to be my husband. After all, I was just a shallow teenager.
