I knew we were a couple when....

I saw this on the homepage and it made me think....  "When did you realize you and your SO were a couple/meant to be"

There are many things but the one that sticks out for me is when someone lit fireworks right outside our house in the middle of the night and DH threw his body over mine (he thought it was a shotgun or something).  I laughed at him for a good 5 minutes, but it really was sweet. 

So what about you?

Re: I knew we were a couple when....

  • DH was in a car accident when we had only been dating a few months.  The driver didn't make it, and DH was pretty banged up and had to be hospitalized for a few days.  I stayed with him the entire time, and that's how we "came out" as a couple to his family.  Prior to that we were "just friends." 
    Shot first, questions later.
  • We had been dating sort of and he invited me over to his house to hang out with him and his best friend. Eventually we ended up lying on his bed and we were talking for hours! We had already talked about getting together so when we were lying on his bed he took my claddagh ring I always wore and turned it around so it would mean I was taken. It was very sweet

    When he started talking about engagement rings after we'd been dating for 6 months. A good friend of mine had just gotten engaged and I had helped to pick the ring, and while I was telling him about it he asked if I'd like to go to the mall and look at jewelry stores for us that night. I freaked out and told him I wasn't ready to take that step yet, but it definitely pushed our relationship into the next level of seriousness.

  • On our first date. We were kissing, I looked into his eyes and knew.

    We met online when he was deployed. We traded emails daily and talked once a week for nearly 3 months before our first date. We had gotten to know each other well in that time. There was a ton of build-up to that first date. My biggest fear was that he was going to say, "I love you. . . like a sister." Fortunately, there was big time chemistry! We were engaged at six months, married at ten months and now we're living happily ever after. . .

  • I knew the feeling of us being a couple was mutual when at K's grandmother's funeral she took my hand and led me up to the front row with she and her family.

  • He was home from VA on a weekend visit.  It had snowed on like Thursday.  He slipped on the ice and needed stitches in his forehead.  He called me at 2am for a ride from the ER.  The nurse came with his discharge papers and she asked him if he needed a cab voucher.  He said "no, my girlfriend is taking me home."  I turned around and said "who is this girlfriend you speak of?"  "You silly."  "I know.  Just checking."

  • This is more how I knew he was "the one", not just that we were a couple.

    After dating for a couple of years, we decided to move in together.  We were both immature and we ended up breaking up after a year.

    We kept in touch a little, but barely saw each other during the break up. After about a year of being broken up, we somehow reconnected, and he told me he wanted to have a "sit down". We went to dinner and as soon as I saw him again I knew we were meant to be together.Looing back, I know that breaking up for that year actually helped us to grow up and really figure out what we want.

  • I knew we were a couple when my mom, grandmother, daughter and young cousin were in an accident and taken to the hospital.  I was on the way to meet him for lunch when I got the call.  I called to tell him what happend and that I wouldn't be meeting for lunch because I was headed to the ER.  He left work and came to the ER.  He stayed there with me all day.  When he saw that my daughter was ok, he went to the gift shop.  He came back with a balloon and M&Ms for her, and a flower each for my mom, grandma and cousin.

  • I knew we were when we went on our first midnight walk. We started dating the summer before I left for college, and the closer it got to August, the more time he spent with me. One night, we were outside with some friends, and he asked me to take a walk with him down the block. When we were out of earshot of our friends, he told me he'd just wanted some quiet time with me and that he could take midnight walks with me forever if I let him. I knew then that he was more than just a summer fling.
