When did you know he was THE ONE?

Allison, on May 21, 2012 at 2:56 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 27

So ladies, when did you decide that your man was The One? My moment was when I called him at 12:30am because I saw the tail of a snake go under my bookcase. He drove an hour and a half to "save me". He came into my apartment with a hanger in-hand, fished under the bookcase and pulled out a 5 inch baby garter snake (which of course he let go outside). We both laughed about it, but I just love that he came to my aide at a moment's notice in the middle of the night, when he had to work in the morning. He's a good, good man. I don't think he would've acted any less chivalrous if there had been a flaming dragon at my door. :-)

    It is going to sound hokey but the very first time I laid eyes on him. The thought "I'm going to marry that guy" ran through my head. I thought it was a looney thought and blew it off, but I knew after we officially started dating that he was mine. Even when it has been hard, he will do things that remind me of why I am going to spend the rest of my life with him. The strongest reminder is when he held me for an entire night after I found out about the death of a friend. He was able to get me to sleep when nobody else could.

    Me and my FH were friends before we got together, I was in college at the time so I really was focused and didnt want any distractions, he always seemed to be there for those special conversations, supported me and gave the best advice. On my 21st birthday he planned a surprise birthday dinner for me, i was so shy, and avoided eye contact with him lol. We said grace prayer, and held hands and at that time there was a magic moment I knew he was the one

    Immediately - I called my mom the next day and told her Smiley smile

    He went to Afghanistan three weeks later, and we started dating three months after he came back from deployment, got engaged two weeks later, and married six months after that.

    I knew when I we "broke-up" for two weeks...I had trouble sleeping, eating and cried everyday. I refused to pick up the phone though and when I finally did, the minute I picked it up I received a text from him that said "I loud you". I had never had this reaction with a breakup before him.

    (Long story short, in the beginning of our relationship, I texted "loud" but he received "love" because of predictive text...he sent back "love??" and I said "loud, I meant loud!!" so the first time he said he loved me, he said it like this..."I loud you" )

    A couple of weeks into our relationship. We had been spending a lot of time together and we were sitting on the couch, eating dinner, talking, and watching TV. It just hit me. I called my mom the next day and told her and she said "Well, I knew that from the first day you met him when you said he was different". She was right.

    FH knew pretty quickly too. He asked me to move in with him two months into our relationship. My lease wasn't up for another 9 months, so we had to wait. It was a big deal though because he had lived with someone before me and it was an awful experience.

    Before we even got "together officially". We had gone to hang out with his friends(his best friend and his fiancee), because according to DH he didn't want to be the third wheel(he also liked me, but thought it would be weird to say so). On the way back, he started singing along to the radio to a super corny song. I was encouraging him, and made him laugh. It was a big deal, because he's really reserved with most people, and than I looked at him and just thought to myself "I want to make him happy" and I knew. Apparently just a couple weeks after that he was asking his friends if they would think it was weird if someone proposed to them after only two weeks. We got engaged two months later.

    I knew when we got back from a trip and came to our "home", and I realized the idea of coming home to him forever didn't scare me anymore. He then didn't propose a week later. Well, he'd been thinking about proposing, and I was looking at my calendar and asking him what he wanted to use his vacation time for (I was expecting something along the lines of he wanted to use X amount for visiting his family or traveling or something like that) and he said "well, we need to save some for the wedding". to which I replied "what wedding?" to which replied, "ours". That's about when he figured out that in planning his schedule he had forgotten the step where he proposed, I accepted and we set a date. He somehow had fast forwarded to deciding we'd be getting married about 6 months from then...

    A couple of month after we started dating we broke up for a few miserable weeks. I fought to get him back doing everything in my power to make sure we were back together again. It was all confirmed again when we ended up buying a house instead of renting an apartment a couple years later. I knew it would be okay to take this leap of faith because with him was where I was supposed to be.

    I had a suspicion on our first date. We were talking outside the restaurant and there were some cats playing. He made this huge joke about them doing a kick line behind him when he was turned around talking to me. He just had me laughing all night long Smiley smile Also once we moved in together at 6 months and we really started working as a team...a real partnership Smiley smile It was always the little things. When it mattered most we were always right there to help the other without a question.

    We don't know how or when we started dating we just did, I had no interest in dating him and in fact we were hanging out and he said to me, "I tell all my friends we're dating." my response to him was "I tell all my friends I'm single Smiley smile" but he still continued to push, I then got a flat tire and no one could come help me, he came an hour and a half to fix my flat tire in the middle of the mall parking lot for me. I started to see this guy isn't going any where, and what finally put it over the top was when he told me he would bulldoze all the walls around me to get in that he wouldn't hurt me. Almost 4 years later and numerous life's curves balls we are still going strong.

    I cannot think of a moment when I new he was "the one". Our relationship has been a constant progression since the first date. I new there was somthing there when our first date, a lunch date, lasted 3 hours with us just sitting in the restaurant talking. It was pretty easy to talk to him. There was a moment on the 4th date when I decided that I want him to stay around for a while. About 6 months into the relationship, we went on vacation together, and I think it was around that time that we really started realizing that we were going to be together forever. I was ready for a proposal just before the 1 year mark; he proposed 13.1 months after our first date.

    I knew he was the one when I had a family crisis and had a complete meltdown. He help not only me but my family. He didn't run or gave some stupid excuse like past fools. We argue but at the end of the day we love each other and i will be miserable without him.

    I believe that people are in your life a reason, a season, or a lifetime. He is my lifetime.

    We laugh, cry, scream, and make stink faces at each other. I know he is the one.

    I must say the first time I had that moment was when I seen FH at his cousin's funeral. I just had this feeling like thats the one and I need to pursue him. However I didn't at the time because it wasn't the right time. That was in May, but about 3months later I seen him at the game and that was it. I made sure he seen me and said hello from far away. Anywho, confirmation was made after our first agrument. We had it out and neither one of us stormed out we talked about it, made up, and had a special connection moment. Gosh I love that Man!!

    We had been dating for 2 months when my brother passed away suddenly (suicide). He was there when I got the call and then dropped everything and came with me home (5 hours away), meet all my extended family, family friends, etc and dealt with everything during the worst possible time for my family. He was my rock through that week and since then. I knew after that that he was the guy for me. We moved in together 2 1/2 months later and have been together for over 3 1/2 years.

    From the very beginning I was so comfortable around him and he immediately became my best friend. I felt like I could tell him anything. We started dating in high school and I guess I knew he was the one when I broke up with him before going to college (he was still in HS at the time) and I was miserable without him.
