For us, we "knew" when we decided. :) I think making a relationship work takes an act of will from both parties... when you're with someone who is willing to try as hard as you are, then you're with the right person.
I didn't know at first. I mean, I felt this connection with him, but I wasn't blown away at first sight lol. Honestly, the first time we met in person (we met online) I was like, um.... not the initial attraction, ya know? But we had already talked so much and gotten to be such good friends, I was already falling in love with him. He is very genuine and actually listened to me, which is more than I ever got out of a relationship before. A few weeks after we started hanging out, I realized that I loved him. It has deepend ever since and I am so glad we took a chance on each other. We are getting married in 2 weeks! :)
okqueenbee -- that sounds a lot like me and my FI! The meeting online and everything....
I think I knew on the 2nd or 3rd date. There was just some feeling there that I couldn't explain. I had always been a "serial dater" and couldn't keep track of all the guys I dated (not in relationships, of course!) But I couldn't ever stick with anyone for more than a month or two before the FI! :)
there definitely wasn't a particular moment or incident that caused me to know my BF was "it" - i knew about a month in, after i just got this feeling that he wasn't going anywhere. and he hasn't :)
we "met" online but when we actaully had our first date there was no going back...pretty much love at first sight...spent the next week together almost everyday and then moved in together after one month...engaged after a year...really fast but everything felt right :)
We met online as well and by the 3rd or 4th date I knew. I was always terrified about the future and marrying someone until I met him. I would never date someone for very long before him and I had never said I love you before. With my FI, I said it about a month after meeting. I felt that if I didn't say it, it would come out by accident because I felt it every time I saw him or we spoke.
I knew from the first conversation that he was someone special. We talked on the phone until 3:30 in the morning and then I woke up to a text from him. I did have a week of "it's too good to be true" thinking but by the 2nd week...it was love. He asked me to marry him a little over 2 months after our first conversation and we have been engaged for almost 3 years. We will be getting married in Jamaica next month but we have been through so much stuff in the past 3 years we feel like it's just a formality =)
I think that we both knew that we were meant to be together when we had deaths in the family at three different times. I guess you could say that death made us realize how much we loved each other and how much we wanted to be in each other's lives forever.
Within a couple months... we were head over heels for each other (and still are)! :)
I think I knew before I met M in person that there was something about him. I never made a decision without consulting with him because I respected his opinion. When I met him briefly in January of 08 I was afraid because I could feel the energy between us and his eyes were just so kind and his smile was exactly what I needed. I guess I was afraid maybe? I mean what if he truly wasn't the one and I liked him so much and we were such great friends, you know? Then we saw each other again on June 1 and it was it for me. We grinned and flirted and we STILL grin and flirt with each other. I never imagined finding EXACTLY what I was looking for in a man, and then I met M and trust me when you meet the right person you meet the right person. Before in relationships I always looked for the next best thing or always wondered if my life would be better if I was with this guy, or this one or would I be better off alone. When I met M I was just happy. Gosh I love this man.
this sounds so silly and storybook but i actually called my mom after our very first conversation and told her i'd met "the one." we had only talked for a few minutes (we met in a parking garage and the attendant brought my car quickly...grrr!) and i didn't even catch his name. still, i knew enough from those few exchanged words that he was MY someone special!
LoveBuzz - I'm so curious, how did you meet up with him again? Same garage? What a great story.
I agree with Miss Spaniel. I think love is an action, not just a feeling -- not that it doesn't coincide with the warm and fuzzies, but when the initial mushiness subsides, you have to consciously decide to make your relationship work.
it's cute actually because the garage is near the gym where we both work out. i had seen him in the gym a few times and he had always caught my eye. i found him attractive but i was also intrigued because some days he would be wearing a suit and just chatting with the people at the front desk. unbeknownst to me he had figured out my gym schedule and had actually been trying to get his workout in around the same time that i did. this was tricky because i am a teacher and could easily get to the gym in the early afternoon. he says that often he would rush straight from work, hence the suit, and then have to head right back! the day that we actually "met" he says that he purposely followed me out to the garage in the hopes that he would finally say hello! we saw each other after that day in the gym and the rest is history. <3
Well me and FI met young, because we were childhood neighbors for a while. FI is two years older than me, and I was 10 and him 12 at the time, when we first met. He became friends with my older brother who was also 12 at the time, and I had a little girl crush at first you know, and I remember walking up to him and telling him "You know I'm gonna marry you one day." haha I got all red and ran away. He never thought anything of it though. He still talked to me and whatever. Well eventually my parents got divorced, and I moved in with my dad because I was having some issues with my mother. I still talked to FI thourgh AIM and stuff though, and well when we got older and had cars we would go see eachother. It was funny because I was 17 and him 19 and we would go see eachother when no one was around, and we would just hang out as friends, but we both knew there was something there, so when I turned 18. He was still 19at the time because I turn before he does, we started dating, and I have to say about 6 months into the relationship, even though I was young, I knew I loved him. So we were sitting on my couch at my dad's house one day, while my dad was at work (My dad had already met him by this time, which was funny because they had already met before, when we were younger, but he was introduced as my boyfriend this time.) watching a movie, and I was kinda falling asleep on his shoulder, and he kissed my forehead, and I did the lil grin that you would see in a movie and I told him "I love you." right then and there, and then he started busting out laughing. It scared the crap out of me, cause I was like half asleep, but then he said "You know I've been wanting to say that to you for like 3 weeks now, but was afraid you would get weird about it, so I decided to wait until you said it." and then he kissed me and told me "I love you too." Then on my 19th birthday, we decided to sleep with eachother, and I couldn't have been more happier. So I am 22 now, and he just turned 24 not to long ago, and he proposed to me on Aug. 15th of this year in Phildelphia infront od the big red LOVE sign right after we donated blood at Citizens Bank Park. I was tired and hot, and kinda dizzy, but we walked there, and took a picture for someone and then I was looking for someone to take our picture. Well this big bubbly black man comes up to me and says "Do you want me to take your picture." I said "Sure that would be great, thanks!" and so I started walking to the statue, and FI was kinda lagging behind me, but unknown to me at the time he was lagging because he showed the man the ring that was in his pocket, and the man was like "Yea let's do it." So Tim (That's FI) came up next to me and we took a regular picture, and I went to get my camera from the guy, but he goes "Wait a minute mam, this is a very special moment right now." and I was just like "Wha..?" and he comes to me "Now you madame, you stand here, and you sir you come stand here." and I was looking at the guy like "What's going on?" and Tim drops to his knee and bust out this box and and is like "Remeber the time when were younger and you came up to me and said "I'm going to marry you one day." Well I want to make that happen. Will you marry me?" and he opens the box and there is this pretty solitare ring, and my heart was beating so wickedly fast, and I was like "OMG! OMG! OMG! YES!" So that is my little story, but I like it and wanted to share it with you. But yes I knew after 6 months of dating that I loved him, and that love has only grown since.
Soontobemrs.kiss - that is such an adorable story! GO PHILLIES 
I knew within the first month as well. There was just something about him that made me know I was going to spend the rest of my life with him!
We've had our share of adorable moments straight out of a movie and "What are the chances" and "OH MY GOD HE'S THE ONE" moments. But like Miss Spaniel said, it's the other moments that matter more in my opinion.What really tells me he's the one is the decision we make every day to love each other and be committed to each other forever.
We were friends for 9 years before we even started dating, so I obviously didn't know right away. ;) I guess for me, I don't think I ever had a "OMG, he's The One" moment. I think we were just such great friends when we started dating that it was more of a feeling like "I can't imagine my life without this person."
OMG SoonToBeMrs.Kiss that is the cutest story!
I think I always knew it was him. When we broke up I remember saying to my friends, "he'll make someone really happy someday. He'll be a great husband & father - it's just that I won't be a part of it".
I said it in another thread a while back but I honestly never really thought I'd want to get married and start a family until FI and I got back together. After other relationships - being with FI again was eye opening. It was sort of like, "Ohhh yeah - THIS is what it's supposed to feel like."

How do you know he's the "one" and how long did it take? I wonder this because I have been in a few serious relationships before, but they never felt right. When I met FI, it all happened so fast, but we both loved it! I can't explain how I know, but I do. It is this feeling I have when I look at him. I truelly see myself waking up to him every morning and falling asleep with him for the rest of my life. I think I really knew when we moved in together and he stepped in as a father figure for my son. Someone that can accept both of us so willingly and stand by us is a good man. Especially since my son is only 1 1/2, and still can be really hard! I'm curious as so how everyone else knows though too, and when it happened.
