Jadedbyluv Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Some people say when you know, you know. How soon did you know about your significant other that they were "the one"? And how did you know?
d0nnivain Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I mistakenly thought my EX was the One the minute I touched him. We shook hands & it felt like I was struck by lightening. Boy was a I wrong. With my husband it was more gradual. I asked a lot of Qs. I was still a bit uncertain. . . I even had doubts while wedding planning a for a few fitful days on our HM. Mostly I was just scared. It's gotten better every year. 2
Quiet Storm Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) I knew a few weeks after we started dating. I was only 15, and I knew. That was 23 years ago. He was strong but gentle. Opinionated but fair. Playful but serious and sexual. He argued back with me.... Other guys always agreed with everything and I found that phony. He was responsible but still a little rebellious. He loved dogs, and I liked his family. I liked him. A lot. I felt electricfied and comfortable at the same time. Edited June 11, 2014 by Quiet Storm
2.50 a gallon Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 At age 27, being as I was the only one of a dozen grandchildren that was able to pass on the family name, I was getting a lot of pressure to give up my dating life and settle down. It even had me wondering "Why can't I fall in love?" When I met my Ex-fiancé it was love at first sight. I knew my dating days were over. I had found what I was looking for. It took me 10 weeks of pursuing to get the first date. After taking her home, late that night I wasn't sure where we stood. The next day, she stopped by after work, with a pizza in hand to tell me she had broken up with her two boy friends. Age 35, Ex-wife, we had been together for over 2 and half years. I sort of got tricked into marrying her. I fell in love with her when I saw this goddess walking down the aisle to take her vows with me. And I realized that I could have a family Age 49, having long given up on love, I thought I had the perfect life living alone. Second date, first kiss. For the first time in almost a decade and half, I realized that I was actually very lonely.
mercuryshadow Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Initially, I didn't think my H was my type. However, after a long string of failed attempts (including an engagement, a child at a young age, etc), I finally realized (approaching the age of 30) that I had it all wrong. When I met my now H, I was not seriously looking. I had been cheated on, lied to, led on by my bad boy ex for about 5 years...I was over the hurt, but it left me pretty jaded. I wasn't expecting or looking for anything serious. But my H and I just clicked. And for the first time in a long time, I felt valued. I also felt as though I'd known him for a very long time, and upon meeting him, a lot of synchronistic events took place. Despite labeling him "not my type" at first (because he was not enough of a bad boy), my mind was changed within a matter of two weeks. He was reliable, loving, caring, generous, and he brought out the best in me. I told my mother after three weeks of dating him, "This is the guy I will marry." And after a year we were engaged, and a year after that, married.
