[lisadr]

Same sick sense of humor.That was when and how.

 

[N&B'smom]

I knew VERY early on that my husband was 'the one'. We've been together for 16 years.

First time we met, I knew something was special.... After our first date, I was ready to jump on a plane to Vegas.

 

[flying_babyb]

staley- you make me feel better. I was looking at dresses today LOL

 

[cjb71870]

So, you haven't yet been in love? Or you have and feel this is different?

 

[staley7580]

staley- you make me feel better. I was looking at dresses today LOL

My mom knew after her first date with my dad. I think... when its right, you know. But thats just me.

 

[flying_babyb]

I have but this one seems like the one. we have so much in common and we get along so well. I just worry that im just acting this way becuase I want to be with someone so bad...

Who's Bosco, Bandit and Moe?

 

[shortbun]

1st day, 1st hour. 27 years ago. Still wildly in love. Btw, I played it cool for several months while we got to know each other. So did he. When we admitted months later that we both felt it right away, it was very fun. Hold back to be sure. It's worth it.

 

[flying_babyb]

bosco and bandit are my furbabies (cats) and moe is a hamster (A very FAT hamster). Im terrified if he is the one, he will run when I tell him what bandit does to men at first.

I'll let you know when I decide.

DH and I have been married for 19 years, and together for 23. But I'm STILL not convinced he is the one

I knew DH was someone I wanted to marry within weeks.

I knew because I didn't CARE if he got my friends', parents', ANYONE'S approval. When dating other guys, I would ask my friends, "So what do you think of him?" With DH, I never even asked because I was crazy about him.

Also, the early days of our relationship were very free of drama and games. It was very easy, very natural, and quite different from my other boyfriends.

NOW - I know what you mean about scaring this guy off. Even though I knew that we'd probably end up together, we didn't discuss marriage for 9 or 10 months at least. Just enjoy getting to know this guy, learn about him, and leave the marriage talk for down the road.

P.S. When DH bought the house we live in now, we had been dating for about 6 months. A few days after he bought it, I was giving my mom a tour of his new house. We came to a small room and I said, "And....shhhhh....but that's going to be the nursery!" She laughed and said I had big dreams.

Well, now it IS the nursery! Our DD is sleeping in there right now! (Hopefully for another hour at least...) After we got married, my mom told DH what I said about the nursery, after we had only been dating for 6 months. He said he was glad he didn't know that then because he would have turned and ran from the crazy lady! So even if you know, keep quiet for awhile.

I always said if you can picture yourself 30 years or more down the road and you see yourself with him...then you might have yourself a keeper.

I should have listened to my own advice the first time I got married.

When I met DH, it was out of the blue, and something just clicked right from the start. We never discussed "IF" we were to get married, it was just kind of assumed from the start that it would happen "someday" on both our parts. We did alot of deep conversations about what we felt a committed relationship needed, and whether or not we felt up to the challenge.

Dating for both of us, was not something to do for fun only, it is a means of finding the right person to spend your life with, and if you can't see yourself growing old with someone, there's no reason to prolong the enevitable.

If it makes you feel better...we met in November, and I bought a dress in March....we got married 1 year from the day we met.

It took me a while to realize my DH was the man I was supposed to marry--I was in denial about it, I think.

I simply stopped wondering if he was Mr. Right. I just knew he was. I didn't have to think about it or try to second guess myself.

I started dating my husband in January and in April I decided he was special and I dumped all of his competitors. Out of the gate I didn't see us together at all. He was a nice guy though and I couldn't figure out how to end it without hurting his feelings. I'm glad I hung in there because otherwise I never would have realized there was something worth hanging on to. We have now been married 25 years and love each other more than ever. Now, that being said, it is wonderful if this is the one and you know it from the beginning. I would caution you, however, not to jump into the deep end with both feet. Like a couple of others have said, get to know him and take your time. A lot can come out if you go through a variety of situations (good and bad) together. I have a couple of siblings who have rushed into marriages because they "just knew this is the one" and in one case the spouse turned out to be bipolar. Dating for three months wasn't long enough to uncover that truth. They had a honeymoon baby and then another baby right away. So, now they are divorced but forever linked and it is very nasty. I won't say it is all her that is the problem but the point is that they both had issues and neither of them was in the relationship long enough to see those issues before making a commitment. So, congratulations if you have found the one. I hope it works out as you are hoping. Just take your time and be sure.

I didn't know right away. I actually took a good amount of time to fall in love. There's also no one thing that told me I had found the love of my life, rather it was a thousand small things. And it continues to be those small things that let me know 12 years later that we're still meant to be together.

I think the first time I "knew" though, was after my grandfather passed away. He had raised me and was the father in my life, I was heart broken. My mum had family coming in from everywhere and everyone had so much to do, and all I could do was cry. We weren't even dating yet, but DH held me for three days while I cried my little heart out from morning to bed time. Then he slept on the floor and held my hand until I feel asleep. He missed work and school to be there when my world fell apart. It was still about six weeks or so before we had our first kiss and started dating. But after that I started to look at him differently.

Ember has captured exactly what I mean about being together through various situations. Situations that are stressful (whether good stress or bad) bring out true colors in people.

To Ember, I would say he was a keeper from the sounds of it. What a sweetheart to be there for you when you needed him most.
