How did you know he was the one?

I knew day 1. I just knew. I didn't know how or when, and when we broke up I thought my life was over, but when we reunited 5 years later I still knew <3

We had been working a marathon traverse boulder problem together (this was before we had started dating). We both sent the project on the same night and collapsed on the floor of the gym. I remember looking over at him from the floor and just knowing that he was going to be someone special.

There wasn't a single moment. It was more like a series of things he did that truly conveyed how he felt about me. And as time went on, the complete absence of any red flags. The first time he did something that conveyed his feelings - I travel frequently for a living. One Thursday, late at night, I got home there was a dozen red roses by my door. I took them in. A few minutes later there was a knock, and he was there. This was only a few weeks in. The second thing he did - he told me he didn't remember the last time he'd felt this way about someone. Then amended it to not knowing if he'd ever felt this way. Five years in, we've had our conflicts, like all couples. But we ALWAYS talk about them, hear each other out, acknowledge each other's perspectives. I've never been with anyone who was actually willing (and truly wanted to) to do the work of being in a relationship.

I guess it wasn't a moment, but more of when I met him for the first time it seemed as if we have known each other forever. I was comfortable with him, when usually with others I would be shy at first.

We had just started going out after not seeing each other for 40 years. I wanted him to go to my cousin's wedding with me but was hesitant. I explained to him that I thought my family was weird. His response "Honey, if there were no weirdos, no one would have family!"

Keeper!!!

When I got into his car and he was playing a CD of every one of my favorite songs without knowing theyre my jams

I don't think it was love at first sight but from the first time we met I told a friend that's going to be my husband. Never exchanged #'s that day & only spoke for about 5 min. After dating other people we've always found our way back to each other. Many years later we are planning our wedding.

One of the easiest relationships I've ever been in. Obviously we have our disagreements what couple doesn't but he treats me so good and so right and he cooks honestly I didn't believe you could fall in love so fast until I met him, it was like a snap of the fingers

We met freshman move in day and were friends first. I was trying to break up with an ex when I met DH. And by trying, I mean the guy was crazy and kept showing up at my dorm and I had to get a restraining order.

I was texting DH one night just saying how sad and lonely I was, I knew no one at college and I was ready to just go home. He walked across campus and showed up at my dorm (SEE depending on who, it's creepy or romantic! Fine line... lol) He slept over (I had my own room), but on the bottom bunk, didn't try anything, just wanted to make me feel less alone.

He always has had a big heart and just wants everyone to be happy. He's never been flashy, never a romantic, never the "bad boy"...but he's the guy that you know in 30 years will still be devoted and love you. He does all the things that make for a long term relationship. "Bad boys" or whatever might be fun for a bit but they are never going to be good for a lifetime.

Everything i had ever heard about love made sense with him. I have never been more sure about anything in my entire life. He is my soulmate!

This is weird, but we got in a really bad fight one time (it probably wasn't actually that bad but it felt like it was at the time) and I got so fed up that I said "Maybe we just shouldn't do this anymore", and FH was like "Listen. If you're gonna end this, end this, but don't beat around the bush because I don't have time for it." And I realized I didn't want it to end. He's really good at keeping me honest like that.

I agree with @Lori's comment. FH and I just clicked from the moment we started talking. We have so many things in common, which is weird because we couldn't have had more different upbringings (he was raised Southern Baptist, I was raised by hippies). He's so patient and kind, and it's so easy to be with him.

I didn't have the greatest childhood and had a lot of fears surrounding relationships. For some reason, I didn't have any of those fears when we met and starting dating. I thought I just didn't know how to commit before. Turns out, my heart was just waiting for the right person to commit to. I knew by the third date that he was different and someone I could see myself growing old with.

@Lori- you hit the nail on the head.

There are so many other reasons of why he is the one......but, truly feeling like we have known each other forever & that feeling that he just fit my heart (if that makes any sense).

I can't pinpoint an exact moment but my sister always says that she knew when she saw his reaction in one situation. We were leaving a jimmy buffet concert (yeah, it's fine) and when someone opened the car door, this tin cup that I have fell out and hit the pavement really hard right on the rim. I was upset and he rushed over and instead of telling me that it wasn't a big deal, he asked "is the chalice ok??"

From the first time we went out, I just felt at ease. We talked and talked and by the third time we hung out I just had this overwhelming sense of knowing. My boss could tell. My friends could tell. Something was different. And a couple of days after he proposed when we got back from out of town, he gave me a sealed envelope that he had forgotten to bring when he proposed. It was a letter from our third date he wrote to me. It told me how he already loved me and how he knew he wanted to marry me. It made me tear up. And what was weird is that I had written him a very similar letter a few weeks after we had been dating. I had been saving it until our wedding day. But obviously when he gave me that I had to give him the one I wrote.

He said I LOVE YOU first we've been together 7 yrs now. But I knew ever time i looked into his eyes is genuine. And the time I really know was when I got really sick and was bed rest for 2weeks all my friends and family never came by or call to check up on me. He took care of me fed me and gave me medicine never left my bedside running errands. Then I knew for better or for worst.

Right after I met him I knew we would start dating. Shortly after we started dating I KNEW I was going to marry him. There wasn't any "AHA!" Moment, it was just a calm feeling like, "yup, this is it". Took him 4.5 years to catch up lol

He drove me 2 hours roundtrip when I lost my keys...on our first date.

Mine is kind of weird but oh well lol. FH and I went to high school together but were on two completely opposite social groups. We reconnected at a party. I went home the next day and told my mom about this person i had met. I NEVER tell my mom things like that right away because she always lectures me about it. I knew when i told my mom that i had a strong connection adn i was done with him. I didnt have eyes for anyone else. He knew about 3 months later when i met his family and he paid for us to go on vacation.
