I say this on the '08 board and thought it was such a good thread.

When did you realize that you and FH would be together for a really loooong time?

For me it was probably the summer after we both graduated HS -- he went away to training at West Point and it took soooo much out of us to make it through that summer. But when he came home we realized how much we both needed each other Thats when i realized we'd be together for the long haul.

When his best friend in the world was against us being together...he thought us as a couple would ruin their friendship (his BF is my BIL)...and FH stood outside in his backyard CRYING to him asking why he can't just be happy that he is finally happy!

FH best friend was afraid that we would break up and his best friend (my BIL) would have to choose to end his friendship with FH...

Thank god he didn't and now they are going to be family!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

i kind of knew instantly... we immediately clicked... on our third date we spent the entire day together - 13 hours... and I didn't want to leave. But probably more so when we both went away for school and managed to see eachother every weekend and spend as much time together, which eventually resulted in me moving to philly to be with him...

Hence why he asked me to marry him about 2 and a half weeks later

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

Well there were two incidents that mark me thinking I would marry him. I was too confused like some others have written in the beginning of our relationship. I was one of the 'independant woman hear me roar' types.
BUT it was our first xmas and I went to his house. I never really loved xmas since I was little it was always a hectic time family wise. But when I went into his room that day and saw this tiny little tree w my gifts around it, I tell you something magical went on in my heart. Corny maybe but it has lastest forever.
The other time was our first Valentine's day, Keith made the night so special. We went to dinner and then we had a room that night in a hotel. He made the room all pretty w rose petals, candles, music etc. and I received a watch from him. But even though all that was awesome it was more so what he wrote in the card.... 'I give you the gift of time as it will never run out like the love I feel for you...' For the first time in my life I was actually surprised and I cried. I knew then he was the one forever.

When I first started dating Mike I knew he was different, I felt so safe, I knew we'd be together for a long time after like the 3rd or so date, 4 months later he proposed..so I guess he felt it too

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

I knew after our second date he was the 'one'...it was weird, i felt stupid thinking this but couldn't explain why!

i asked him this question the other day...and he told me that after his second trip to visit me (he lived overseas when we met) he knew i was it...(his first trip was our first & second date). Just took him 4.5 years to actually propose..haha...but i knew once we moved in after a year and a half we'd be together forever.

When he FINALLY told me that he loved me. (It took forever, but I knew when I finally heard it, I would never doubt that he meant it.)

The second day we met!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

I always WANTED to be with him forever - but the day I had our first son and they wheeled me into recovery and he was holding him. He had tears in his eyes and he said 'I never thought I could love anyone as much as I love you...'

That was it.

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

After a few dates I knew he was different... After a month I knew it was love... After a few months I thought to myself-- Could this be? Is he the one? At 6 months-- I was ready, whenever he asked the answer would be YES!!!!!!
He asked 1 year and 3 months in!!!

He says he knew on our first date!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

I think after spending two years apart and still feeling like I am falling in love with him all over again.

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

when we were dating for over a month or 2, and didn't have an argument.... we genuinely get along that well..... We also have similar careers, and similar cultural backgrounds. It's basically effortless....

Almost 4 years later, and we still have yet to have a genuine fight.... it very well may never happen!

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

We've known each other for 11 years, been best friends for 6. Almost started dating 2 years ago but I started dating someone else. THen when that relationship ended our friendship became even stronger. 6 months later I approached him about us dating, but it wasn't the right time. But we became closer still. We went on vacation together in June left as friends and came back as soul mates. Been heaven since!

I love this thread!

I think I knew FH and I would be together for a long time before we were even a couple. We were in college (he lived in the apartment upstairs from the one I shared with friends) and we just really connected. We would spend every day together and stay up to watch the sunrise OFTEN....It took a while for us to get together, and even longer for us to become 'official', but I think I always knew it would be worth the wait--even in those early days--

Re: Stolen from '08: When did you realize....

when we were inbetween houses. the lease was up on the one and the condos we were moving into did not meet thecoding deadline because they had just been built and we had a 3 week period before we could move in and no where to go. well i chose to go back to my city and commute to work adn he could return to his parents home until the condo was ready because i had my son with me and i was moving into an efficiency apt as to not waste $$.

he insisted that where i go he goes no matter how uncomfortable because we were in this together. now he could have stayed at home and been comforatble but he chose that ugly commute during winter with me everyday. us having to share a car and change schedlues etc and we still were happy to see each other at the end of the night. thats when i knew he was a keeper.
