When did you know he was the one??

Aww! What a terrible situation, but I'm glad that you got something GREAT out of it!

I knew my FH was the one about a couple months into our relationship. We were sitting in his car, parked at the Metroparks, and we got into a deep conversation about values and what-not. Well, we started talking about what we wanted most out of life. He went first, and told me that he wanted nothing more than a family of his own and to possibly pass on his grandfather's last name. He said that he would be there for his children and give them the world.(Unlike his father who didn't come around until he was 13). When he told me this, I was thrilled because I always knew what I wanted to be from a young age, a mother. So to hear that we both had the same goal in life was very relieving and it felt like a weight was taken off of my shoulders because I had the man of my dreams right in front of me! We now have a little family of our own and we could not be happier!

That's sweet. I actually knew he was the one as soon as I agreed to our first date. He worked for me an we were friends for awhile. After his wife passed away I was there for him for several months before anything happened with us. Before I gave in I had to know for sure. He has 3 children and they had dealt with a lot.

About two weeks after we started seeing each other, he took me out for Valentine's Day. We were sitting at the bar waiting for a table and started talking about anything and everything, and suddenly I just knew that he was someone special

A few months after FH and I started dating my grandfather got really really sick with colon cancer and dementia. It was really tough on my family because he lived with us my entire life, so he was around as much as my parents so we were SUPER SUPER close. So when he took a turn for the worst, FH made sure that my work knew the whole situation, and he would be at my parents house with my every night, he offered to go to the hospital with me to see my grandpa, and when he passed away he offered to drive in the funeral line because i was too much of a mess to be able to drive. He made sure I was okay the entire time and didn't push me to feel better right away. He held me while i cried, he would bring me ice cream or flowers. He is always doing little things for me, but we were only a couple of months in at that point and he saw me at my absolute worst and he stuck around. He didn't have to. I knew at that moment he was the one for me and that nobody else would come close!

By date 2 we both knew this was different. We were teasing each other that our dating was a bad idea (we work for the same company and I am 10 years older). Then he stopped and said he was going to say it anymore. I asked why and he said "This has potential." I sighed and said I knew ( and I did).

A month later, I was hiking with a group of people and talking to some poor random dude about my guy and I told him that I was going to marry my now FH. That he was the one. And my FH asked me that night.

I know it sounds pretty corny.... but I knew when I first saw him. I swear this feeling just came over me and I just knew that we were going to grow old together.

From the minute he picked me up for our first date... It wasn't one thing or even one moment. Being with him felt so natural. We were walking down the street in this really touristy area and I just grabbed his had, right after we got off the jet boat ride we were just talking and he leaned up against this 1/2 wall and I just leaned into him like I'd been doing it for years. Not once did it feel like we were "trying", it just happened.

I knew after our 4th date. He had taken me to a pro lacrosse game....he's not into sports...not really a fan of watching them...me on the other hand, I LOVE sports! He dealt with all my crazy excitement...but when I saw my ex's little sister on the mega-tron (she's a dancer for the team) and then saw my ex AND his mom AND his new girlfriend...he didn't get offended or freaked out with my reaction...I knew that he was the one for me. As we walked out to the car, he grabbed my hand and looked at me...I'll never forget the look...I instantly melted and knew I didn't want to live another day without him.

Mine wasnt any moment in particular...but more so when I fell in love with my best friend and couldnt picture my life without him. I never even saw myself getting married to anyone. We always joke that I knew he was the one before he knew I was.

For him, he tells me it was when he got hurt (back injury) and I would drive to his place daily to help him out of bed and completely take care of him.

I knew I fell in love with my FH and knew he was the one when we spend our first Christmas together.I was falling easily and knew I couldn't bring myself to tell him. I told him I wanted to say something but didn't want to say it just yet. I told him I am easily falling for him. We were drinking in his room and watching a movie and then we made love and told him I think I found the one. He then said I LOVE YOU first. Then I just told him back. Since that day I knew I was meant to be with him

Simple reason I told him we were meant to be cause I wasn't suppose to work when we first met. I gotten into an accident and couldn't start school. So I was planning to start Jan school I decided to work and thats how we met.

I had a feeling he was the one about 4 months into dating (around Christmas time). He told me he loved me first which surprised me, but after that I just knew. We spent basically every day together and were that couple that just couldnt get enough of one another. But apparently according to him, we were destined to be together after about 2 weeks.....this was what he told one of my bridesmaids about a month before the wedding. He said to her that he knew I was the one, and he was determined to be with me whether I liked it or not. Super sweet

As soon as we got stuck in traffic on a field trip in COLLEGE and he started doing Chris Farley impressions..I just knew it was gonna work. I don't think I had ever laughed that hard before I met him!

Aww ladies. Enjoyed reading all your stories... I am such a sap!

Pretty simple... FH & I met in 1999... then we lost touch for a few years, but somehow reconnected in 2004.. I knew we were meant to be together then! He came back into my life & we have been together ever since!

I knew about an hour after we first met in person. We met online and had been talking pretty much all day, every day for 2 weeks before he came over for dinner. We'd had quite a few video chats online, so it was pretty much like we'd already met in person when he came over. He says he knew as soon as he saw me, that he was gonna marry me someday. For me though, it was after we'd been sitting around talking for a little while and I'd been telling him about some of my medical problems and he put his arms around me and told me that everything that I've been through has made me who I am and only makes him love me more.

Less than a month into our relationship DH fell violently I'll with the worst stomach flu I've ever witnessed or heard of. Well once it began to subside for him, I woke up in the middle of the night and the nightmare started for me. I was so sick and dehydrated DH carried me to the car and brought me to the ER. I was in a haze and hardly knew what was happening. I remember large chunks, but not everything. They gave me four IV bags of fluid and a small amount of morphine to help with cramps and pain. Even with DH's problem being in hospitals, he stayed by my side through the whole horrifying ordeal. I don't remember getting home, but I woke up the next day to balloons, stuffed monkeys, and flowers nearly covering half the room. Just thinking about the whole thing makes me tear up! I already felt immense love for him before this all happened, but after realizing everything he did for me when I was at my worst, I just knew.

There was never an exact moment for me, I just knew there was something different about him from the first time we met. I remember telling my mom that I didn't know what it was, but I couldn't get enough of him. I wanted to see him and talk to him and spend all my time with him. I knew that he was special when I said that because before FH, I got bored with nearly every guy I dated a few dates in. My mom told me then that I was going to marry him.

I knew for sure the day our daughter was born. I had a hard pregnancy because of my diabetes and a very hard labor, (over 35 hrs) when she was finally born she wasn't breathing(I had already had 3 miscarriages late in pregnancy so I was terrified of losing her) He just made me look at him I was trying to get out of the bed and get to her, but he noticed what I didn't, I was hemorrhaging, so he made me sit there, it only took about an min and a half to get her to breathe and let me tell you her cry was so music to my ears. He looked at me before he walked over to her and said I can't lose you so just listen to the doc's. The look on his face about made me fly, James does NOT show his emotions and I have never seen him cry or smile so much as he did that day. I was happy that both Tori and I where ok, and I realized I could marry him

When I couldn't see my life without him in it. When I saw us at 80 years old sitting on our porch with tons of wrinkles and fake teeth. I knew it was him ...

@LadyL- I always think of that Wedding Singer song_ Grow old with you. LOVE!
