When Did You Know?

Mine was honestly just a feeling I had. I could never pinpoint when I knew it was always just a feeling. He slowly became my BestFriend and everything was so natural with him. I couldn’t imagine annoying anyone else, or coming home to anyone else.

He was my bus driver when I was in Junior high school. He was 16, I was 13, with a huge crush and stars in my eyes! He had no clue I was alive...


Fast forward 37 years...he appeared in my "people you may know" Facebook list. I sent a friend request and we went out.
He told me he loved me, on our third date. I knew it was forever, at that moment.
He didn't propose, until we had been together two years, although I later found out that he bought my ring, after our first anniversary.❤💕
It took us awhile to come full circle, but I've always believed that God's timing is best
Thanks for the topic💕

I had a feeling for awhile, we took a huge chance when he moved up into my apartment about 5 months in. One night we went out for a friends birthday and I had way too much to drink. He took me to get some greasy burgers from McDonald's, because I was hungry. We were sitting in bed eating burgers and in that moment I knew. That night i also asked him to marry me, he was surprised lol. From that point on we knew we were exactly on the same page. From the night I drunkenly proposed to when he asked me was 7 months later.

I had an immediate crush on my FH in college. The first time I saw him was in a creative writing class we had together. I pretty much sat next to him in the back because it was just about the only seat that was left. We were broken up into groups and everyone already linked up so we were pretty much forced into a group together with a few other people in the back.

From that moment on, we all exchanged numbers and we just hit it off as friends. We hung out a few times outside of school and one day, he waited outside of a movie theater for me. Once I got up to him, he gave me a hug and I got this light weight feeling where I felt like all my organs just dropped to my feet. That's never happened before and it freaked me out but that's when I first had an inkling that he was the one. It's been great ever since.

This might sound corny but as soon as i saw him it before we even said anything to each other it felt like time stopped and i remember every little detail like what we were wearing. A little after we started dating he shared a song and said it made him think of me, when I was listening to it I just knew. Something in me was like this is it!

Mine is kind of backwards, and I don't usually tell people because most of the time they tell me I'm crazy or stupid or making an enormous mistake. 3 years ago, he cheated on me. I got pregnant really early in our relationship, and we moved in together way before we were ready and it kind of messed with everything. I knew because no matter how hard I tried, or how badly I wanted to, I couldn't hate him. and the only thing I wanted was to fix things in our relationship and be together. When I was able to find forgiveness for something I never thought I'd be able to forgive, that's how I knew.

He had grown to be one of my best friends (after knowing each other for 2 years) and after I went through a breakup he was always there for me and comforting me. I grew feelings for him first but didnt do anything about them until one day someone else told me that he was starting to like me. We started dating and I knew pretty quickly. He proposed just after our 3 year anniversary and we will be getting married on our 5 year anniversary ❤

That is so cool!!!! Congratulations!

I was scared to death of him at first. He told me he loved me one night and I responded, "what did you just say to me?" I constantly told him I was scared and worried about falling in love again for reason A,B,C theough Z. One day when we were having yet another conversation about how scared I was he held my hand, looked me dead in the eye, and said "take your time and I will just continue to prove to you how much you mean to me." At this moment I knew he was special but the fact that he continuously proves his love to me...that's how I knew.

I knew even before our first date when we were just friends. I remember a particular moment that really solidified that for me. It was when I asked what other profession he considered (he's a school counselor). He said lawyer but it didn't align with the values he wanted and who he wanted to be because stereotypically it's a very dog eat dog kind of world that lawyers live in. And that just made me know he was the one. Because counselors are thoughtful and considerate people - everything I found him to be.

THE VERY FIST SECOND I’ve always referred to him as my husband. He just gives me a totally different feeling, his spirit feeds my soul and brings out the best in me. Even the eight years we spent disconnected, there wasn’t a day that I didn’t think of him and what he could’ve been doing. That’s my husband, and my gut tells me so!

I mean, it was love at first sight, so by the time we were dating (less than 2 weeks later), I was really only going into the relationship with the intent for it to be lifelong.

But, in terms of being absolutely certain? By the end of the summer we met, I knew. At that point, he'd met my dad, my Poppi, my college friends, and he already knew my local friends. *They* all liked him, and when I added that to my own "holy cow, he's everything I ever wanted in a partner"... yeah, it was obvious.

Had to wait a bit, he's younger than me, but... off we go to our honeymoon!

I knew it was special almost immediately, because our connection is like this warm strong fire that keeps both of us going. Our first date was when I knew for sure - he surprised me with our first kiss, and I melted. Something in my brain went "this is the man I'm going to marry." I could not explain that - we were coworkers then friends and now dating, but I had always been hesitant with other guys because of my parents' nasty divorce. But something in me has always trusted him. He's my rock and my support, my comfort when I'm upset and my equal joy when I'm happy. The perfect man for me.

I don't know that I had one specific moment, but ever since I met him I knew he was special. I've never met a more kind and caring person and from day 1 we've been inseparable. I've always been able to be myself with him and that's something I've never had with anyone else, so that was a big deal to me. Over time we became best friends and quite early on I realized I loved him. We just click and I honestly can't imagine my life without him.

Not too long ago, out of curiosity, I asked FH how he knew that he wanted to marry me. He said that one day he woke up, looked at me, and said to himself, "I could see myself waking up next to her everyday," and that was it.

When i met my FH i honestly didnt want ANYTHING to do with him. He wasn't my type at all. We had interacted on a few occasions but nothing that "stuck out" in my mind...He had made comments about me before to people, but i did not care. One night i was texting his friend, who i had my eyes on. He stole his phone and started talking to me as him. Later my friend told me it was his friend. We talked on facebook a bit and i decided to give him a chance and hang out. We got along great, and started seeing each other. After it got more serious he started spending more time at my house and was introduced to my youngest daughter who was 1 at the time. My oldest daughter (10) was with her dad out of state for summer break. I told her over the phone I had met someone and she'd ask me questions and I'd always answer them. When she came home I introduced them to each other. She had always told me she wanted a step dad and she always wanted me to have a boyfriend and to get married. I started to care for him but I wasn't at the love stage yet. After I watched the way he interacted with my children, and showed a genuine love for my girls....That was all she wrote. I fell. HARD in love with him. I always wanted a man that wouldn't just love me, but would love my children as much as he loves me, if not more so! My girls will be 12 and 3, both in March, and my youngest calls my FH "Daddy", as he is the only dad she knows. Her bio dad had only seen her 2 xs in her life and doesnt want a relationship with her. My FH said as long as he is in our lives, HE is her daddy. We were engaged on 8/21/19 and set to be married 8/13/21. His friend who's phone he stole away, is a Groomsman in our wedding

We had two dates together within a week of meeting each other and then the follow week, he told me that he loved me. I was like holy crap, do you mean you love my personality or me as a person and he said both. I was like man this guy is crazy. He told me that he loved me everyday after that and told me that I could say it back when I felt comfortable and it was true to me. Well after dating for about 5 months, I finally said it back. After about a year or so, we planned our first trip together to the beach for a week. One of those days while we were at the beach, it was very windy and sand got in my eye. He drove me a total of 4 hours (2 hours to and 2 hours back to the condo) to the nearest eye clinic (we went from St. George Island to Panama City Beach) for an ophthalmologist to get three grains of sand out my eye. He couldn't wait until Monday for the islands ophthalmologist to come back in town. That's when I really fell in love with him and knew he was the one lol.

My FH and I got together and then 6 months later I found out I had to have brain surgery. Leading up the surgery I was having some major health issues. His dedication to picking me up off the floor and helping me in those early months of our relationship when most normal people would run screaming in the other direction just proved how much he loved me. I couldn't imagine being on this roller coaster with anyone else.

I knew deep inside since we started dating. But I didn’t really say it until about a year. We’ve been together for almost 7.5 years and I still have butterflies and miss him a lot when he’s not around even though we live together. When they say you just know when that person is the one, it’s really true.
