Feelin Frisky Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 When you lose connection with the person you were before this object of worship change you and you feel reborn in love (i.e. set up for a grave ass kicking it seems more often than not. But it feels wonderful.).
Phantom888 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 This one is easy for me, because I'm right in the middle of it. It feels WEIRD!! But here's how I knew when I fell in love: 1) My perspectives change. She is the most beautiful creature on earth to me, while all other women somehow appear to be "plain" no matter how glamorous they look. 2) I spend a lot of time day-dreaming about a future with her. 3) I enjoy spending time with her, even if we just sit there and watch the grass grow... I would be more than happy. 4) When she is happy, I feel REALLY happy. 5) She feels like a best friend and soul mate all rolled into one. 6) It's a pleasure to help her do unpleasant chores (cleaning, fixing stuff) knowing she wouldn't have to do them, and she appreciates me. 7) When I look into her eyes, I lose my train of thought....as if my brain rebooted. 8) When she feels troubled, I want to do whatever I can to get her out of that mood. I'd do ANYTHING for her. 9) I imagine myself and her in a life-or-death situation. Am I willing to die for her? It's easy to say yes, but you may not really mean it. For me, it's by far worse to lose her, so I can say with certainty that I would give up my life for her. 10) I don't ever want to live another day without her. Life would suck, if she were not in my life. Don't know how I went on all these years without her. These things may sound crazy or irrational for a lot of people. Love is not supposed to be rational. It makes us do crazy stuff, but at the same time, it gives us true life. I can't explain why or how I fell in love with this woman so quickly. I am 38, and married before....and I have NEVER felt this with any women in my past. To me, she is the ONE. Some may argue this is infatuation rather than love. But in the end, only my heart knows the answer. 6

Wow I am so glad you wrote this.. my bf has told me the same thing and I have a hard time believing it because he has been married and engaged before (and not to mention I am a bit jaded about these things).. I have asked him "why did you get married then?" and he said "because I thought that's all there was, I didn't know it could feel like this" 1
happykat Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 The title says it all. Just wondering what you all think and have experienced in your relationships and knew when it was right and when you were in love In my current relationship, it just felt "right" from the second date. I think this is when his nervousness died down a bit. It has only been a month, and I have not said the "L word" yet, but I have been thinking about a future with him A LOT, so I think that's a big sign -- I have not introduced my kids to any man yet, but I would have no problem introducing him (the timing has not been right yet). I guess because it just feels like it is inevitable, hard to explain unless you have felt it. There is no questioning - no questioning how he feels about me, how I feel about him..it just IS - if that makes sense.. 1
miss_jaclynrae Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I knew from the get go I was crazy about him. When you love someone you KNOW. It was a few months in when we were playing UNO and we were both crying from laughing so hard that it hit me like a ton of bricks. I actually accidentally said it. It didn't come out the way I wanted it to and we didn't say it for real until a month or so later... But in that moment I knew my life had changed. 2
sweetheart5381 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 For me it was when I first realized I missed him when he wasn't here. I've been single a long time and thought I enjoyed just being alone. He changed that way of thinking. When we shared a moment that was incredibly funny and the thought of it a few days or weeks later makes me burst out laughing again. It wouldn't be funny to anyone else, just us. When the best part of my day is snuggled up with him on the couch watching TV or a movie. Nothing fancy, just us and a bowl of popcorn. When I realized how much joy he has brought to my life, simply by being here, in the moment with me. That's love to me. 2
