Hey! ^_^ I'm feeling romantic today and want to know your stories of how/when you know that special someone was "the one". Was there one defining moment when you just knew, did you know from the beginning, or did it surprise you?

i dont know when i first felt it... it was probably the day i first talked to him. But "that feeling" keeps happening over and over again to this day. its been 2 1/2 years so far and i am just as much in love as i ever have been. He makes me so rediculously happy. And he still surprises me everyday.

The moment we knew was the day we met
He took my hand & took me to a rose he bought for me. I blushed
It was a feeling - He knew I was the one & I knew he was the one. We have been together for almost 10 years now. We fall in love with each other more & more everyday
We are so happy!

What a fantastic thread!

I can't say exactly when I knew but I had a very strong suspicion on Feb. 11th 2002. We had started dating the Nov. prior (so less than 4 months) when I got t-boned in my Neon by a pick-up truck leaving his office. I radioed him from the intersection a few blocks from his office and he immidately left to come to me. I was pretty cut up so he called someone in his office to bring out a first aid kit. I'd taken off my coat so I didn't bleed on it and he made me wear his while he cleaned up my cuts. As the officer was taking my report all I could think about was that I didn't have a car anymore. He told me that I could use his (and he's VERY particular about who drives his car) until he could get his old Cougar running for me.
He's the gaurdian type.. the kind of guy who will pull over when he sees a girl being roughed up by her boyfriend in the road... the kind of guy to help a stranger change a tire... and every day I fall more in love with him and every day I'm more sure that I made the right choice marrying him. There is not a doubt in my mind that we were meant to be together. The last 7 years have been a drop in the hat and I can't wait for the rest.

I knew from our first date
I knew him for about a year before we started really hanging out with eachother. He was such a gentleman & so romantic & sweet to me. It just felt so right in my heart
We never fight, we always get along & it feels like its ment to be forever, I've never had doubts or second thoughts. We've been through so much together. He's my best friend
He treats me so wonderfully & just like a princess

3 years later, we are engaged to be married & I couldn't honestly be happier!

Awww guys! This is making me smile! ^_^
So far, the majority has been knowing the moment you met. That's so cute!

After both of us had to deal with bad first marriages (abuse & cheating) we knew what we didn't want!

By talking with each other and getting to know, we found out that each other was 100% of what we wanted. We decided to be exclusive in October. Were talking about honeymoon in December (before he came to meet me in person). So from October we knew we would be married

i kind of knew my partner was something "special", from when we first met. he's nothing like anybody else i've been with, & i "alway's" got butterflie's whenever we were together! hehe, the day i met him i said to myself, i could be with him forever, there was a connection between us both straight away!

In a state of misery w/o my Bella
Well before we met in person, we were in Love
We met online in the widow/widowers chatroom after we both lost our spouses. After a few months of online correspondence we talked on the phone and the minute I heard that sweet Southern accent I was smitten
We talked on the phone for 2-4 hours a day until I thought it was proper and had been long enough for us to meet in person. (He lost his wife 6 months before I lost my husband so he was that much farther along than I was)
We knew we were in trouble already
I picked him up at the airport and we spent a long weekend together and the rest is history, that was in August and we got engaged that Christmas and married on Valentines Day in Puerto Rico, he planned the whole thing himself. We have been married 10 years now and he still treats me like a Queen, as it should be

It took me about 8 weeks to figure out he was the one. I'd say it took him slightly longer. I had some bad relationships before him--lots of verbal and mental abuse. I knew he was a christian man (which I had never dated, even though I am a christian woman) and that meant a lot to me. We hit it off. He is 6 years my senior--so he was a lot more mature than the guys I knew (when we met I was 19). He loved the outdoors, excepted that I liked to be a pretty girl, but also loved to get dirty.

We met in late March 2005 and I had already picked out my ring by August 2005. He proposed in May 2006 and we were married in July 2007. We would have married sooner but I was still in school and it just wasn't the best thing for us.
