When did you know? :))

We were sitting in the car talking after a date, and he was telling me how he wanted to be a dentist. Without even thinking about it I said "Good thing you're going to be a dentist, because bad teeth run in my family and our kids..." I stopped there because I just realized what I was saying and just smiled and said he liked sound of that.

I knew the first time he kissed me!!

Dust and me had been great friends in high school and had always kept in touch when we both moved away and did our own thing. after 4 years of not seeing each other i still considered him one of my best friends and when i was going through a hard time i of course called him to talk about it and get his take. he decided i needed a break and decided he was coming down to ontario so we could have some fun!! we had a blast and i showed him around ontario. one of the places we went was niagara falls and in one of the gardens he just grabbed me around the waist and kissed me

i knew right there and then.

it just felt right

I'm not a sappy person. And I don't know that I believe in love at first sight or soulmates or any of that stuff. But I knew my fiance was the man I was going to marry the moment I first saw him, just kind of standing around at a friend's house. Almost like God nudged me: "Hey, that's him." But God is weird with me like that. After that, it took my fiance more than a year to ask me out and two more after that to ask me to marry him. Which... It was easy enough for me to wait. I knew what was up the whole time.

We met in high school when I was dating his former best friend and neighbor, Ben. Well Ben treated me horribly and always ended up passing the phone to my fiance and TJ (my fiance) and I would talk for HOURS! He was so sweet and kind, and treated me with so much respect and consideration that I knew there was something different about him. Things ended with his friend, and we started dating as sophomores in high school, December 15, 2005. I had been the type of girl that crushed/liked tons of guys at once, and for some reason, after we started dating, nobody else seemed to matter.

I remember the first time I truly fell for him though, we were sitting in my living room a few months after we started dating, and he looked at me. We didn't tell each other we loved each other because we didn't want to be "that" high school couple, but I knew that I loved him. He kissed me and I was sure that this was it.

We will have been together for 5 years this coming December 15, and engaged for about 6 months. Over the past 5 years he's made me fall in love with him numerous times, some of which being when he spent time with my grandma and me after she was diagnosed with lung cancer, when we accepted Christ and were baptized together, when he began loving playing with kids like my nephew, and of course, when he proposed. We've kept our purity throughout our relationship and we're so stoked to get married...he's my best friend and I am truly thankful that God blessed me with this relationship.

i knew pretty early on...me & my fiance were together for about 2 months. i remember i went over to his house just to hang out to watch movies. it was snowing so bad that my car couldn't make it up his hill. he talked with some guy who owned a store at the bottom of his hill, & i got to park there. he then proceeded to carry me up his hill---it was the sweetest gesture...i didn't have to ask him to do it, but he wanted to. it truly made me look at him way different than i looked at any other guy.

Well, let's see. The first day I met him (Halloween night, the day he got back from Iraq) I knew there was something different about him. He was surrounded by people who loved him, but for some reason he seemed as if he was all alone. I knew I would somehow get to know him.
About a year or so afterwards, we met again and started dating a few days before Christmas. It may not be one specific "thing".. but a feeling I had. It may sound sappy, but I just knew when his face made my day a little brighter, his blue eyes calmed me as if they were the ocean itself, and when holidays (especially Christmas) did not remind me OF him, He reminded me of them... I think I might have told him once, "You remind me of Christmas". I think he understood...

CMGr .... that just brought a tear to my eyes and a smile to my face. Your husband has a very strong women and it sounds like he knew all along that you were the "one"

He and I had started out as one of those crazy internet couples: we'd known each other long-distance through mutual friends and a forum we both were admins on for several years as teenagers and into college, but with me going to school in Oregon and his own education in Georgia, we had to jump through hoops to afford the time and money to visit one another. He had helped me through a nasty breakup, and shortly after made the plane trip to see me.

For the weeks leading up to that, we had both been worried that whilst we got along great via phone and video chat, one-on-one would be a whole different story. He's a couple years younger than me, and I'd become jaded from bad relationships, feeling that I might be able to have a much more successful life on my own than I could ever achieve in a couple. But all it took was for him getting off that plane after several minutes of anxiously waiting because he was the last passenger off (he had been helping an old lady with her overhead luggage), fumbling with his bags as he came off the tarmac from the small plane that had to be taken for the last leg of his 13-hour trip to my college town's rather smallish airport. We hesitantly held hands for the taxi ride home and eventually fell asleep in each other's arms, finding a peace that I never knew I could find with a man, and now a year into our engagement we're more inseparable than ever. Needless to say, I have every intention of making 'travel' and 'vacation' part of our wedding theme, around the five year anniversary of us meeting.

Edit: He knows all of this, too! How we got together may be a bit unorthodox even in this day and age, but the benefit of us starting out relying so heavily on communication means that we still tell each other absolutely everything, from our greatest fears, biggest loves and pet peeves, down to the stupid things that anyone else would be bored witless by. I never have to worry about being surprised by something I don't like about him, which is a blessing after several boyfriends who scared me away with their insane personality quirks that left us on far different levels of being able to cope with life. He and I trust each other enough to know every minor flaw and respect one another as two sides of the same coin.

I knew before we were even "officail" we were in the same Youth Group, he was a Senior in HS and i was a Freshman in the local community college and he was dating another girl from our youth group and i remember seeing him rubbing her arms to keep her warm one night at a youth event, and my heart just kinda faltered when i saw him. im not the type to like guys who are taken or anything, and i really didnt like him. i was highly infatuated with someone else at the time. but when i saw him do that i thought "i want that." Then a week or so after that i found out they had broken up, and the guy that i had liked crushed my heart. and we started talking about the past relationships we had and what not and he just made me laugh so so so much! i still was trying to deny feelings for him because he was a year younger and i wanted to be with this other guy, but God just didnt let that happen. I remember telling a friend that "this is different this time, i know this is going to last a long time" bcuz i am the type to date a boy for like 2 months, get sick of them and dump them. but Tyler, he was different, and i told him that i had told my friend that that day and he said "i honestly feel like God is telling me that you are the one" i couldnt believe my ears. He was the sweetest boy i'd ever met. When i told him about my not so great past and the pain i had been through with certain abuse and what not, he didnt even freak out or pause or anything, he just said he understood and he didnt care about that stuff. he's always accepted me just as i am and made me feel so beautiful. i love him very much and i am so glad i get to spend the rest of my life with him

btw. today is 10 months for us

My fiance and I knew each other for about 2 1/2 weeks and started dating. I was a sophomore in college and had sworn off men for the year, I wanted to focus on school, but there was something about Chad that was different from other men. We started dating 11/17/2008 and that Christmas, I remember telling my mom, sister and best friends that I knew that he was the one. Even though we had only been dating for about a month, I can't really explain it, but everything just felt right. Now we're getting married in less than 8 months and I couldn't be any happier to spend the rest of my life with my best friend

JessicaLynn125 · November 2010

The moment I knew he was the one was a couple months into our relationship. I had a really bad case of the flu and couldn't even really get out of bed. He lived about an hour away, but came over in the middle of the night to take care of me. He also had his next couple of shifts at work covered so that he could be there if I needed anything. I knew then that he was the man I was going to marry and I've fallen more in love with him every day since.

BrClktor · November 2010

I had a hopeless romantic movie situation when I realized that he was it. He was my best friend from the moment I met him, but unfortunately my mind was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong men. I was always crying in his arms wondering why I was so sad and unhappy with this guy or that guy and he was always there, telling me how to work with my psychology to get out of the rut. A year and a half after I met FI, I became engaged with a man that I shouldn't have, and didn't realize that my FI was the one until he proposed to me while I was still engaged! I realised what I've done and where I should have been all along. I broke the engagement and started properly dating my best friend. It was probably 2 weeks after we started when he made a more 'official' proposal.
I know it was crazy, and I know I was being stupid, but I'm glad that one that cared for me all along is the one that I need to be with. I have now been engaged with this man since August 2008 and I don't regret a single moment.

eaaguilar1 · November 2010

He was my friend long before we started dating. He was a good friend and became the one because he never lied to me. I ask does this make me look fat; he looks at me and says “yes”. But he is always nice enough to help me find something that looks good. He is my best friend.

maamekonadu · November 2010

I met him when i was in school we became very good friends and started dating him. but unfortunately i had to travel after high school for a year and a half we kind of lost contact but when i returned he was there waiting for me and saw me through very bad times. I told myself i would like be to his forever and he also felt that way ... thorough it all the good and bad times his unwavering and constant love and support has made me admire him and love him endlessly.

miaka51 · November 2010

I think it was a series of things. The first night we met i was in a relationship with someone else, and I was so excited because I had so much fun with this random guy that my sig other at the time asked me if he should be worried. I laughed and said definitely not! A few weeks later, he asked me out and I said no (I had broken up with the other guy by then). My family started asking about how serious we were and I laughed some more - hes just some guy... A few months later, we started dating. I went home from college for the summer and we broke up. No one else seemed interesting and it was the worst summer of my life, even though we still talked on the phone pretty much every day. I came home and we got back together - he had left roses all over my apartment and in the car and got me a beautiful bracelet to remind me that he always loved me. He was there when my step dad died and I was there when his mom went in for surgery and his dad had a heart attack... He was there when I got my BA and I was there when he got his Masters. I tried to run away from the best relationship of my life so many times, but he patiently held me though all my emotional tumult. It took us 4 years, but we finally realized that we never wanted to be apart. There was never an AHA moment, but one day I realized I was daydreaming about a wedding before we were even engaged because I knew I never wanted to be apart again. We took our time for everything in our relationship, but it has paid off. My paranoia has passed (mostly) and I am totally ready to be someone's wife. something I NEVER thought would happen...

autumnbreeze26 · December 2010

We met online and started emailing first. Then we progressed to phone calls. We talked/emailed for about 2 weeks and it felt like we'd known each other for years. On our first date, we were initially both nervous. The nerves wore off and we had a great time. I drove an hour and a half to see him for our date because I lived in the middle of no where. Since it was late and we had been drinking, he didn't want me driving home. Normally, I wouldn't have stayed, but he made me feel so comfortable and was a gentleman the whole time. He offered me his bed, while he slept on the couch.

The next morning, his dad just showed up at his house. He was so freaked out that his dad showed up because meeting the parents is a big deal. I cooked him and his dad breakfast and we sat around talking. It was a good time.

Later that week he sent me flowers to work! After only one date, that was amazing. We met for lunch the next day. While we were sitting there he said, "There's some things about me that I really want you to know." He told me the things about himself that he thought would scare me away. I knew then, that I would spend the rest of my life with him.

It's been almost 3 years and our love gets stronger each day. It's very surreal, but the best thing that's ever happened to me.

ashleben · December 2010

It was slow for me. Honestly we've been together for 5 and a half years and it was only a few months before we got engaged that I said to a friend that this is it. It's because I knew I could live without him but didn't want to at all. It was just when I finally had that realization did I know it was time. It's not like there was nothing before the 5yrs though. We always had a strange connection, from the moment we met we were drawn together. I loved him always but it was the gradual changing of the relationship and the ups and downs where it was like yep it's him, maybe it just took that long for it to hit me because I'm too logical, or maybe I was just afraid of it and couldn't realize it until I was ready.
