If you assume that "The One" is the person who suits you best, fulfills your needs like no other, and makes you feel things that other people can't, is it then possible for a single person to be "The One" to multiple other people? Obviously, not all of them can be "The One" to that person.

What got me wondering is that there are some people who are such high quality, high calibre people, that they are more likely to be what another person is looking for in a partner... however, that is no guarantee (in fact there is probably some kind of inverse relationship) that the other person will be what they are looking for. So it is possible, even likely, that these Ones will be left disappointed in their search for THEIR respective Ones, and that their admirers will be left crushed by the fact that they aren't the One for that special person.

I hope this is making some kind of sense, I am long on randomness, short on coherence, and slightly tipsy.
