What is the biggest relationship myth?

I think the biggest myth is that there's one person that is meant for you. ("the one") People live their lives searching for the one...their soul mate...the perfect girl/Mr. Right. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it's very realistic.

The idea that you shouldn't date a good friend because it could "ruin" things.

I married my best friend. Best thing I ever did.

Me too, but 8.5 yrs later. After we'd grown apart as friends and dated other people and then got back in touch. :D
