I was listening to the radio and they were talking about when did you know that yh was the one. I think I realized it after 6 months of dating. We didn't get engaged until we were dating for 5 years. ( We were in school) . When did you know he was the one?
Re: Poll- When did you know
I'm still not sure. lol
I have no idea. I think after we went to a bar w/friends and he walked me up to my condo,came in for a minute,said good night but didn't kiss me. I was so confused and pissed off by it that it made me want to be with him even more. Does that mean he was the one? Not really.
Maybe after we were living together for 1 month and both had a horrible stomach bug. If you still like each other after seeing each other like that you're probably meant to be.
about 6 months after we started dating (which was about 5 years after we met and a year after we "re-met". until then i thought he was a rebound relationship.
We kinda dated for a few months in 2000. It was on, it was off, it was casual. Around Christmas time we got into a HUGE fight and stopped talking. It was ugly. I cried every day for 3 months. EVERY.DAY. I barely knew him. I had been with my previous boyfriend for nearly 10 years at that point and I didn't feel even half as sad when we broke up as I did about not talking to J anymore.
The 1st time my sister talked me into going out (seriously, like 3.5 months later) he walked into our local bar and that was it. There was just, a look. I think we both knew. We've been together ever since.
we were together all through high school, never ever had a fight or a momentary break up (you know how 'relationships' are in high school LOL!).
senior year, when we were going away to separate colleges, it didnt even occur to us to break up like the rest of the couples going away to separate colleges were. it didnt even occur to us that it would be hard, that we would be tempted... it was just 'ok, ill see you in two weeks. ill come visit you, and then you come visit me'.
when one of his friends asked him if we would be breaking up bc of college, he said 'why would we break up?' in the most innocent, sincere demeanor.
cheesy as it is, and impossible as it might sound, i knew then.
I knew when I met him, don't ask me how I just knew he was the right one. Him on the other hand....he probably knew but it took him awhile. We were together for almost a year and then split the summer before he went away to college. (I was a freshman in college already, he was a grade behind me since he was born after the cutoff). He was the one who ended things saying that the "distance would not have worked". (we also had a huge fight over something his nosy Aunt did and he pretty much took his family's side over me of course which added fuel to the fire but he gave the other reason of distance instead as his reason).
I was heartbroken and knew it was not right but as hard as it was I tried to let it go and move on. Dated for a while and nothing came of it . A year after that he called me and wanted to meet up for a coffee. We began talking again and I think I knew where it was headed. We were both still single. He said that ending things was the stupidest thing he ever did; he did it because he was a coward, didn't expect me to give him another chance but he realized I was the one he was supposed to be with and hoped we'd get back together again. Funny thing was all of our friends pretty much knew we were supposed to be together and would tell me someday it will happen. And it did.

6 months after dating. I heard that on PST truth be told that chick sounds stalkerish!
LOL, did you hear about the guy that proposed 7 days after meeting his wife?
He had me at "hello", lol.
I was 15; he was 18 & we've been together ever since.
*always remembering Annaleigh Lucy*
With my ex-h, it was our second date. It was very matter-of-fact for me -- not "I want to marry him," but rather a deep knowing and acceptance that this was how it was gonna be, like it or not. Romantic, right?
With my current guy, I knew something was in the works 9 years ago. Even though we were both married to other people and our circumstances (without getting into them here) had the odds completely stacked against us, I just knew we'd end up together. We never flirted, and we certainly never talked about it, but we always had a spark/chemistry that was palpable to me, and even to other people who'd comment on it when we were together.
I think we both knew as soon as we started dating. I knew that it all just felt very 'different' from other relationships I'd had, but in a right way. We were engaged after 5 months.
when he was getting ready to relocate to MD. so probally 4-5 months into our relationship. i thought it was over. and he told me he wanted me to come and help him pick out an apt. because he was hoping i'd want to move to MD when i was done with school.
First date. Not that he was man I was going to marry b/c I never liked making those predictions but I knew he'd be the love of my life.
My Dh says he knew on the first date, it took me longer, but we got engaged 4 months after meeting.
