Sounds cliche, but before I ever spoke a word to him. I saw him walking on the other side of the road and just knew that he was it, he was the one. And now, 7 years and two kids later he certainly has been
So there is hope for me right? LOL
I saw a guy at work the other day. I made eye contact with him while I was going in the doors, he was coming out the ones beside me. It was instant for me. Like, woah, who is he? Have to find out more, this is seriously weird chemistry.......type deal.
Oddly enough, he's a blond (which i've never been attracted to), wears glasses (also has never been an attraction) and is just "average"........yet i'm all bejiggity about it.
I've seen him here and there around the building a couple more times, never really close enough to say anything (or he was already in conversation) and I seriously get weak in the knees
LOL
However, I'm pretty sure he drives a minivan, so i can only assume he's married. Just my luck

6months in and still don't know whether she is
I'd stop wasting both of your time...if you don't know by now...she isn't the one.
WoW I'm sorry but am I the only one that finds this harsh and the comment before where someone told him point blank "she not" to me was just rude. It's only been 6 months , not everyone has love at first sight for some people it takes time. Don't be so quick to give up.0 -

Check him out some more, find out for sure. Mini van doesn't have to mean married, it could just be he needed something to drive and that was the best deal he found, I've seen plenty of single guys drive mini vans. Or he could be a single dad. Anyways good luck, hope something good comes out of it for you0 -
The first time I met her sober.
I guess we had met before, but I was too drunk to remember her. but apparently I made an impression because I remember noticing her from across the room and thinking wow, that girl is the perfect amount of cool, fun, and sexy. then she came up and started talking to me like we were old friends. we go married a little over 2 months later, that was 12 years ago.0 -
Honestly this idea of 'love at first sight' and/or 'knowing' someone is right for you is really Disney inspired and sometimes detrimental. Sometimes you won't EVER know for certain that they're 'the ONE', but that's okay. Sometimes there's no such thing as 'the ONE'. Sometimes that's just a fairy tale they tell little girls.0

Bad advice right there. Just read through this thread and you'll see that plenty of happily married/together people didn't know within the first 6 months.0 -

But sometimes its not and its true. Fairytales can come true! If you don't feel they are the one.... get out quick or just enjoy the ride for a while but realize you may be wasting your time finding the right person!0 -
still waiting.... lol :flowerforyou:
No really, I knew that my husband was going to be my husband, when he pinned me up against the wall to give me my first kiss! LOL - Oh yeh baby! :drinker:0 -

I disagree so strongly that my disagreement has seeped into my veins and made my skin grey in disgust.
Don't base your relationship on a feeling. PLEASE. For all that's good, mature and sane, do NOT base your relationship on an elusive 'feeling' you're supposed to get when you meet the 'right one'.0 -
We dated all through high school and to think about marriage then was pointless. Once we got into college we definitely started to hang out way more often and we became very serious. One day I was rubbing his back and he was holding onto me and he said, "I like you" (after saying i love you for years upon years). Then I said "I like you too' And he gave me a big hug. I just knew that I wanted to take care of him and be taken care of by him forever.0

After the first date. We played pool, saw a movie and then walked the night away hand in hand talking. This was 37 years ago and the love of my life is still with me.
Edited to add, she asked me to marry her two days later. Two years from that date we got married.0 -
As corny as it sounds, it was a love at first sight thing. 0

Someone sounds a bit jaded.
Just because you haven't found him/her or it hasn't happened for you doesn't mean it doesn't happen for other people.0 -
My guy & I had a 'no strings' thing for two years before we became a couple. I'd reached the end of my rope waiting for him to realise what was under his nose, and told him we couldn't be friends any more. That night, he asked me to be his girlfriend. The morning after, I asked him how he felt...expecting him to come up with an excuse about the night before: it was a mistake, I was drunk, I was under pressure etc. Didn't happen. Within a week we said "I love you". Within four months, I was pregnant - unplanned. Over two years later we have a beautiful daughter, a lovely home together and are getting married next October

We worked together for 6 months before I agreed to a date with him. We were pretty much friends before that and hung out with the group of folks from work pretty much every weekend. I knew he was the one on our first "real" date, that's the night I saw his soft cuddly side. He came home with me a month later and never left. That was just shy of 23 years ago. We've been married over 20 years.0

About 6 months in, and I was only 16. I guess I just "knew."0

I know it happens for people! And I'm happy it does but I think it's an unrealistic expectation and forcing this idea of 'one true love' upon people is unhealthy at best and a recipe for misery at worst.
I don't think we should base the rule on the exception (I don't believe love at first sight is the common underlying theme in marriages that last the test of time).0 -

Love at first sight does happen and there is an aspect of fairy tale to it, but it does happen (happened to me see earlier post on page one).
I don't think any relationship is a waste of time, it's more of a journey of discovery. You need to figure out what you want out of a relationship and in order to do that you need to fail in some and succeed in others. The trial and error of relationships shapes you, and gives you a better understanding of what you want out of one and whom you want to have one with.0 -
I knew I was in love with my husband when we both kept catching ourselves about to say "I love you"... after about a month of every morning getting a text message with "good morning beautiful" and silly pictures from him all day we started catching ourselves about to tell each other "I love you" (the actual first time we said it, it was funny) He said it first but swears I did.
Then it just got better from there now it's "good night beautiful" every single night and we do everything together including working together and I have not gotten tired of him yet. :-) We dated for a little over a year, got engaged about a year ago and just got married on October 6th
I knew I made the right choice in marrying him a couple weeks after the wedding we were getting ready for work and he comes out in the living room nekkid with his cowboy hat on, swinging his hips and twirling is arm up over his head saying, "Helicopter, Helicopter".... never a dull moment with my love! 0 -
The minute I saw my husband (we met through a mutual friend...I was 21, he was 22), I said "That's the guy I'm going to marry" and I did! For some reason I just knew, and we have been happily married for 12 years!0

LOL i'm dying laughing.0 -
9 years (married for 6)
My friend originally invited him to a party to set us up but we didn't really hit it off and we saw each other occasionally for a few months after that, then we started hanging out a lot after about a month (When I didn't really think we were even dating) he said to me 'I understand now why people get married.' We started officially dating about a week later. If we had not worked as a couple I think he would still be my best friend.0 -
In my case... I'm still open on that statement.
I love him. We have great times and bad times together. Never had that lose your breathe, heart beating rapidly moment with him to know he's the one.
He's a great guy and from what I'm told lust fades... you have to stick with the one who treats you right and in some cases loves you more then you love them.0 -
He says he knew from the start. It took me a little longer. We're moving in together this Saturday 0
-
I moved into her room (at uni) after two weeks of being together. That was just over 5 years ago; we've been married 13 months now.0
-
pretty much the day we met IRL. we met online and chatted back and forth for a few weeks before meeting. after the first date i was totally smitten with him, and he was totally smitten with me. that was october '06, we were engaged before xmas, and have been married since aug '08... sometimes you just know.0

For me it was a "love at first sight" thing. No joke. I went back to my roommate and said "I found the man I am going to marry"
Of course, he had a girlfriend at the time. I had professed my love to him that weekend, and he said he was committed to his girlfriend. Something inside me knew I had to keep this man in my life. So we were friends for a year before we started dating.
6 years later I am planning our wedding. I am still stupidly madly in love with the fool.0 -
Before we met in person (yeah sounds crazy, on MFP too) and then meeting in person confirmed it:) I couldn't have found a more amazing person to spend the rest of my life with!!!
I am also divorced and feel that going through that horrible situation allowed to me to know what I want, need and deserve.0
