When did you realise you were in love with your now-fiance/ee?

It's the week of love, y'all! Which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and curious to know - when was the moment you realised you were in love with your spouse? In my experience, it's usually not at some big, romantic, grand gesture, but something tiny, maybe something every day and ordinary!...

Which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and curious to know - when was the moment you realised you were in love with your spouse? In my experience, it's usually not at some big, romantic, grand gesture, but something tiny, maybe something every day and ordinary!

The first time I realised I was beginning to fall for my fiance was when I went to an interstate conference where I was a keynote speaker less than a week after our first date. For years and years I'd dated people who wouldn't even remember I was going to a conference, never mind remember when I was speaking, what day it was held on or anything about it at all, even after a few months together.

But, he remembered after only knowing me 2 weeks, and texted me to say good luck. I responded telling him that they'd moved my spot around, so I'd already presented, and he asked if he could CALL ME. Like it was the 90s!

I was out with some of the other delegates for dinner and we'd had a few wines, so I let him know when I got back and he rang me up and we chatted for ages. He just wanted to call and see how I'd gone. It was SO NICE! and the fact that he remembered what I had going on in my life and bothered to see how it had panned out...

I definitely realised I was starting to fall in love with him right then.

So! Your turn! Tell me how you knew?

    When while dating online, in the first weeks, he made a awesome invitation. Before start dating, He invited me to get to know each other through online Christian devotionals and also praying together. After 2 years and almost 2 months after we first met online, we continue to do our daily devotional and praying together. That was and is special! God in our relationship!

    There really wasn’t a moment I knew he was the one. I just knew from the start that I was really comfortable with him and knew that I would be he fiancé.

    Ours was love at first sight! Neither one of us could stop thinking about the other after that first moment our eyes met. The whole room instantly knew we would end up together.

    So awesome! My fiancé and I are not the same in our hobbies but we’re very supportive of what the other person enjoys. How nice to be able to share those things!

    I knew he was the one when we first met. How did you know your fiancé was the one?

    I don't know if I have one moment I suddenly felt it,I think it was more of a gradual build up to realizing it❤he was my first ever real relationship so it was all kinda new to me but I knew he was the one pretty quickly because he just gets me. We both love one another's sense of humor too. He balances out my anxiety and I help him balance his laziness lol. So lucky to have him I never thought I would find the one for me til he came along unexpectedly.

    I knew on our first date , that he was the one. We literally spent every day talking - because at the time we lived in two different states. I had a checklist of what I was looking for - and he checked off every box, including not having kids. ( Been there done that and it wasn’t fun )


    He was and has always been honest and caring. The fact that he would work a full day and get right on the road to drive 6 hours to the state I lived in, sometimes two weekends a month meant the world to me. Three kids later , and now planning a wedding - we don’t argue, and he’s an amazing dad and partner.

    We met in high school when and were just friends for many years. When we met I was a junior and he was a senior. Even though we were just friends I did have a secret crush on him but was dealing with other boy drama. But anyways. We were really close and hung out a lot. But after he graduated him and his family decided to move out of state. Before he left we hung out and went to a concert together and his on again/off again GF (they were off at the time) found out and decided she wanted to go and just showed up at his house and being the nice guy he is didn't say anything to her and brought her along. I will never forget it though cause on the way to and from the concert he still made HER sit in the back seat lol. So, long story short. After the concert is over he drops me off back home first cause I was on the way. This was presumably the last time I was ever going to see him in person. We pulled up to my house, he parks, turns off the engine, and tells the old GF that he will be right back he is going to walk me to the door. When we got to my door he told me how much he was going to miss me and hopes that we keep in touch. I told him that I would also miss him and of course we would always be friends. Before he left he gave me a giant hug and twirled me around and said goodbye and kissed me on the cheek..And that was the moment but he was gone.

    We did keep in touch and luckily, him and his family moved back a little over a year later and when he came back I was one of the first people he visited and we picked up our friendship exactly where it left off. It would still be a couple more years of us just staying friends and dating other people before coming clean to each other that we've had feelings for one another this WHOLE TIME! But the night he left and I thought I would never see him again is the night I fell in love with him. And even though there was still time and other people between the time he came back and when we actually started dating I just always felt like when the time was right we would end up together and that's exactly what happened. That memory and moment will always be with me.

    We were friends for years and one day I looked at him and realized maybe there was something more than friendship there. Apparently he had been harboring a crush for a while but hadn’t said anything because he valued our friendship too much. When we started dating we knew it was serious because we were not going to risk our friendship over something casual.

    My fiancée and I started talking on a dating app - we met in person a couple weeks later. Our first date was a lunch date, chatting and getting to know each other more - we were so nervous, and I was so awkward I was surprised he asked for a second date! Our second date was a movie date - zero talking.

    Our third date Smiley heart J invited me over to his house to play a game we both love, so we did that for a couple hours, then ordered a pizza. We then watched two movies that night - sitting in his room together for about 4 hours. It took him nearly the full 4 hours to get up the nerve to ask "Wanna hold my hand?", and just the way he said it, my heart still flutters! When he drove me home later, I decided I should be brave (like him) and ask if I could have a goodnight kiss (which he said he was going to ask for too!).

    That night showed me how special J is - the consideration of not assuming I wanted to be touched. (Looking back, I think he may have wanted to hold my hand at the movie theatre too the week before, and maybe too shy to ask.) Touch is my love language, and I'm so happy we're at a place now where he's not afraid to just hug me or (TMI?) grab my behind ... but I also know I wouldn't have felt the same way I do if it hadn't been for that interaction. Like "Wow, you're super considerate, I trust you and you have full permission from this point forward to hold my hand, kiss my lips, and just all the touches!" ... Does that make sense?

    Aww, I know exactly what you mean! The fact they asked makes you feel more safe and comfortable than before!

    I had a similar situation, on our first date, I wanted to give my now-fiance a kiss goodnight, but my uber was coming, it was starting to rain, and he is SO much taller than me that I didn't know how to ask, and I didn't want to be interrupted by the uber driver!

    I still remember the first time he asked if I would like to stay over and there were logistical reasons that I couldn't even though I wanted to - his respectful response when I said no made me want to stay over more than ever!
