When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I was sitting in the laundromat, reading a book, when I just had this feeling. It was the night before our second date.

When I got home I wrote about it in my journal. In the past I'd met guys and a couple times I thought to myself 'Yeah, he's the one' but was I ever wrong! With DH, it was a feeling rather than a thought, if that makes any sense.

What about you? Did you have a lightbulb moment?

It's not the most romantic story but we had been dating for about 1 & 1/2 months. I ended up getting violently sick during the night and was so embarrassed. He was so sweet and so concerned on how to make me feel better. I just knew that this is the man that I can spend the rest of my life with who will always be there no matter what.

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I met my DH about 6 months before we started dating. We became very good friends. I wasn't ready for a relationship at the time - just out of a bad relationship and just moved out of my parents house for the first time in my life (29 years old).
One day my best friend and I were at the beach, just shooting the breeze and I was telling her a story about how on my DH's graduation day from high school - his brother flew a banner plane over the football field during the ceremony (the banner had his name on it and everything) and while telling her this story I asked myself - Do you think he would propose to you this way??? At that moment I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him!
We started dating that night, and got married last October.

He called me at work at 10am the morning after our first date to see what I was doing that night. While I don't think I thought from that moment that he was 'The One', I definitely thought this was going to be different because there were no games. I really did think he was a special guy right then and there.

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

This definitely is NOT romantic but about a month and a half into dating, he fractured my nose Silly accident which he will say is my fault and I say is his fault, anyway he felt SO bad I knew he'd HAVE to marry me after that. Sure enough.....

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I knew by the third date. I even wrote it in my journal. Just a feeling a got and i knew he was not one of those guys to play games. He made me smile, laugh and was just an amazing good guy...something i had been looking for for years....

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

We met online, on jdate, and our first date was at a coffee shop... our little date turned into a 6 hour conversation. After the second date, I just knew. I called my friend and told her I was going to marry him (this coming from the girl who swore six million times over that she would never marry!). Next day I went to dinner with my brother and friend, and told them the same thing. Three months later we moved in together, one year after we met he proposed, and three months after that we were married at city hall!

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I was originally dating another guy for about 4 years or so and one of my guy friends introduced me to someone I would just 'love'...as he put it. Well I saw him walk out of his house as we went to go pick him up and my mouth dropped open. Unfortunately, he was dating some girl too.

Well, not even a year later, I was broken up with my boyfriend and he was magically broken up with his girlfriend and we got together to hang out...

This is so corny what he said but...'If we kiss, I'll know that you're the one for me...just by that kiss.' So we did and not only did he know that we were going to be together, I did as well. That was 7 years ago...

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I think I knew BEFORE we met, if that makes sense.

We met online, but chatted for months before meeting and got very in depth and had an emotional connection even within our conversations. It nearly scared me that I was so infatued and smitten with this online person I'd never met, yet somehow I just KNEW he was different.. as Tracy said just a 'feeling'

In the course of us chatting online he went away for a week and I really missed him And he felt the same! So when he came back, after months of dilly dallying he spontaneously said 'we have to meet'

I think I fell in love at first site - that last piece of the puzzle (the actually chemistry in person) was even better than I could have wished for...

From that night on, we spent every weekend together.. less than 4 months later we moved in together.. and less than 1 year later we were married!!

And as Farah said , I think the fact that there was never any 'game playing' was a very good sign that this guy was different. I never had to wonder 'will he call' or 'he is waiting a week to call again' etc kind of dating nonsense ... it just unfolded naturally

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

We met through a mutual friend, but we only spoke on the phone for the first 3 months, we never actually met in person until after 3 months. Every time we tried to see each other something would happen and we couldn't make it. We were only 15 yrs old. But we would talk on the phone for hours and hours. One night we were talking on the phone and we told each other we had something to say to each other, but neither one of us wanted to say anything, so at the same time we both said I love you! Now this is still before we've ever seen each other. It was a magical moment! Now here we are, almost 12 yrs later and with a beautiful baby boy! Sorry Toddler!

He didn't play any games...I really thought he was different than anybody else I had ever met.
We met over a three day convention, really hit it off. He asked me to come and visit him in St. Louis but I still never thought it would lead anywhere...long distance never works out, right? Boy, was I wrong. I figured he would call sometime later that week (since all guys wait 3 days to call ). He called me THAT night from the road.
I knew he was 'the one' when he flew to Baltimore to see me at another convention, even though his company was not setting that show. We agreed that trip to see each other exclusively I wasn't going to let 1000 miles come between me and the man of my dreams!

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I feel like I somehow always knew...

After two months of dating, I was home from college for a weekend and was telling my Mom about him and I said 'I think I'm going to marry him!' and 6 years later I did!

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

As soon as we made eye contact the first time. It was such an amazing feeling. It made me a firm believer in love at first sight.

Re: When/How Did You Know DH Was 'The One'?

I went away on a cruise with my family about 3 months after we started dating...and I actually broke up with him before i left because it was getting serious and i got freaked out (committment issues, I know)
while i was on the cruise, all i kept thinking about was how much better it would have been if he were there.....
and then i knew.
as soon as i got hime, i called him and knew it was meant to be!
