    This has really only happened to me once. I normally move VERY slowly with relationships, but this one time, I was absolutely blown away. The night we met, I could tell there was something different about her, and by the next day, I knew I wanted to spend forever with her. It wasn't a hunch or a "maybe" kinda thing...I KNEW.

    Unfortunately, it didn't end well. Long story short, she was in the midst of getting a divorce and ended up going back to her hubby. She just wasn't able to let go. But even so, yeah, I believe things can be very real very quickly.

    The first part of this happened to me as well. Ours ended after 3 years for different reasons. But yes, the night we met I was completely swept off my feet and knew after the first date that I was in love with him. Unfortunately for us, it didn't work out. It was truly a great love and hope I will experience it again with the right person that I'm supposed to spend my life with!

    BTW my parents married after dating 3 months and were HAPPILY married for 57 years until my father recently passed away.

    I will be honest about the actual topic Love at (sort of) First Sight...the topic is 100% accurate for me, it wasn't the first moment that I saw her that it happened but it was within 12 hours of seeing her for the first time. I just looked into her eyes and saw it.

    Before this happened I scoffed at the idea that this was even possible, I just thought it was something that was depicted in every bad made for TV love story ever produced for the Lifetime channel.

    But I stand correct on this! It is possible because it happened to me!

    I am totally not in the honeymoon phase anymore. His farting is not ignored, I know all his faults and he knows mine, and we've been through some tough stuff. It's different than it was at first, sure.... because now I love him for different reasons. But that's love - it evolves.

    I completely, 1000% agree with this. I knew within minutes of meeting my (now)husband that he was for me. I was 13. It took us a few years to start dating, but we've been together since Jan 1999. It wasn't lust that brought us together. I can't explain it, but I felt whole when we were together. I still feel that way.

    But, its different now. Do I get annoyed and frustrated with him? Yes. But its because I love him. I never thought I'd be a believer in "love at first sight" - but I'm a believer.

    I never did until I met the man who is now my husband.
    We met online and chatted a little here and there, then talked on the phone. He asked me out at least 10 times and I kept saying no. We went out on a Saturday, he asked me to marry him 2 months later, we got married 4 months after that. During the entire time that we have been together, we have been apart only 1 day.
    All of my friends told me it was too quick, that I was acting like a dumb high school girl, told me that I should wait. I am glad that I did not listen. We are still crazy in love. I say you must go with your heart. You could get hurt but you could also miss out on a wonderful life with someone.

    Yes. I met my husband in April 2007. I was teaching a class he was in. Before people dispersed to their classrooms everyone met in the lobby and I saw him by the door and I thought, "This one is going to be important." I didn't know how. I was engaged to be married even. As luck would have it, he was in my class and we spent our lunch break just talking about interesting things. I had already been getting cold feet and some doubts about the wedding, but by May I was sure enough, and broke up with the person I was engaged to. The day class was over in mid-May, he did not come to the final session (it only met on Saturdays.) I called his phone to find out why, as per our school's policy, and ended up inviting myself to come visit him. At the beginning of June, he bought me a ring, "just as a promise." On September 28, we moved in together. Somewhere around October 6, I got pregnant. We were married officially on January 14, 2008 - exactly 9 months from the day we first saw each other - and our daughter was born at the end of June.

    We now have 2 children and just celebrated four years married, and still as happy (or happier) than the day we met.

    Ok here is my short story. Been divorced for about three years. Was in a relationship for 2.5 years after that. I decided to date again but had moved to a new city. I knew no one so I got on match.com and several "other" sites. With match.com I went on about a dozen date, some were fun, others were scary. Then I went on a first date on December 15, 2011. Met at a sushi place. We had talked about a dozen times back and forth about a variety of issues. Anyway, when we met each other we both know there was an immediate attraction. We are now two months into it and we are a perfect match. Physically we really were attracted to each other. Our sexual compatibility is unbelievable. We like many of the same activities, and have a lot in common. I will credit match.com with much of creating the right match, but WOW, what a connection. Did I mention the sex is the best I have EVER had? LOL

    yes, when I met my husband we worked together and would talk at work, 2 months later we started dating. We worked together 5 days a week, I would go over to his house after work and we'd spend our two days off together. 2 months later we were expecting our daughter almost 2 years later we were married and expecting our son. It's now been 4+ years that we have been married and 6+ together.

    My story goes like this. Was working in the payroll department of a food manufacturing company and one November a guy was brought into the office and introduced to us as one of the new Team Leaders. As he walked out of the office I told my boss that I was going to marry that guy.
    12 months later we started going out, 3 months after that engaged, 9 months later married and our daughter arrived 7 years later.

    Not such a happy ending as widowed after 11 years of marriage but I'm left with his legacy in our daughter.

    I still can't tell you what it was that made me say 'I'm going to marry him'.

    Firstly, I'm so sorry for your loss :heart:

    Secondly, this is the same as when I met my husband. We moved into the same halls of residence at university and the second I saw him I said I would marry him. A week later we were practically living together. Took us eight more years to get married though! We are still very much in love.
