I knew the second our horrible, awkward, hilarious first date was over and we BOTH couldn't wait to see each other again
We've been inseparable ever since (except when the Army dictates)
I think I knew the moment I saw him... but that was solidified a couple days later when I mixed the wrong drinks together at a party and had a technicolor yawn. He quietly cleaned up after me and took me to my hotel room and stayed (without pre-text) to make sure I was going to be ok!
He says he knew it from the beginning. I like to say it was our 1st halloween together when he agreed to dress up as a smurf with me. 
but i just needed an excuse to post this pic
I knew he was it when we exchanged cell phone pics of our cats on the first date.
@msgraphics: That about sells it.
I suspected from the beginning to be totally cliche, but I KNEW on our first "vacation/holiday/meeting". Long story short, I met him in Colorado while I was still living in FL and we talked on the phone for 6 months before we actually met up for Thanksgiving together. After the trip was over..we were legit blubbering crying because we didn't want to leave eachother, thats when I knew that I didn't want a future without him :)
We both knew on our first date. We had known each other for 2 years as coworkers and we had lingering crushes on each other before we went on our first date.
Hmmm, I don't know the exact moment. I just remember that there came a point where I just knew, shortly after we started dating
I knew after our first trip together. We had been dating a month and we were packing up the car to head home. He had kept looking at me and smiling with a look that let me know he was thinking about a future. He would grin and shake his head like he couldn't believe it was happening. Kinda hard to explain, I guess.
I'm glad you clarified what you mean by "The One" because I don't believe in soul mates. :)
There was no magical moment when it hit me, it was just a gradual thing as our feelings for each other grew stronger. It took a long time, probably around three years into the relationship that I started seriously thinking I wanted to spend my life with him and that's around the time we started talking about moving in together.
three weeks after meeting he moved away to florida (I live in Boston). It was Halloween at the time, and I spent Thanksgiving with him in Florida. I knew the moment I booked that flight to Florida :)
From the beginning. Things don't always go as planned though. We broke up, stayed best friends, then had a falling out and I refused to talk to him. However, here we are 10 years later getting married. I think we both needed to grow up and realize what we had and what was not out there.
Coming home from a halloween party late at night in the car. It was kind of an Aha! moment :) I just knew.
He had me from hello.... LOL but yea, I knew I loved him from the moment he came over to talk to me. But it was a few weeks later that I knew that I wanted to marry him someday :)
I think I took longer than anybody. I wonder what that says about me.
I'm torn between two moments -
After a freak accident with a softball (I broke my jaws/cheek in five places) I had to refrain from brushing my teeth for nearly two weeks. This was within the first three months of us dating and not only did I smell to high heaven but I also looked like a stroke patient. I didn't get full feeling or use of the left side of my face for nearly three months after surgery. He stuck around!
The next was when we got quite drunk in college (about 10 months into our relationship) and he groggily said to me "I'm going to marry you one day. I hope that's okay with you!"
I think the first gave me suspisions and the second sealed the deal!
I think I just always knew from the start of us, that he was the one. I just saw our life together there in that monent and in the future, never with out each other. I do have moments that remind (not like I ever forget :) ) me that he is the one. Like when I see him with little kids, it hits me that he is going to be the father of our children and it makes me smile! Just things like that.
It took about a month for us. He wore an Obama hat on a date to play Risk all night with me and my friends. :)
I had suspicions very early on - like, before our first date even occurred. We were just flirting at work, talking about how we both wanted to live somewhere fun, and he said "Let's just move out to Hawaii and set up camp on the beach" and I got that feeling you get on rollar coasters when your stomach drops (in a good way!), thinking "He means THE TWO OF US, together." Not that he meant that whatsoever, and not that I would condone moving thousands of miles away with a relative stranger to live, homeless, on the beach... but yeah, I got that feeling.
1) the first time I saw him..but of course I was like "no, not possible"
2) we went on a casual date and I blew him off for a couple of days seeing if he was really interested and not only did he call EVERY day, he asked me to be his gf on the 3rd day we knew each other!
I honestly wasn't sure right away. I've always been somewhat of a commit-ophob so I have a hard time early on in relationships. But the first time I realized I was making plans with FI months and years in advance is when I realized I felt he was "the one."
We were together less than a year when i first suspected it. I was sick and even after driving home 40 minutes after a 12 hour shift, he drove all the way back from Brooklyn to Long Island (another 45 min -1hr in traffic) to bring me juice and soup. And he stayed with me all night even though he had to wake up at 530am for work the next day :)
Thats when i knew he truly cared about me!
When he took care of me while I was sick for an extended period of time. He would wake up repeatedly through the night, every night, when I had my "episodes". He would hold my hand and get me water and medicine. There were days when I wouldn't want to do anything, and wouldn't feel like talking. He was the sweetest and most patient guy. He read me poems and short stories to keep me occupied. At that point I knew I could never leave this guy! He would be the one who would love me for better or worse, richer or poorer.
I knew on our first date when he went around and opened the driver's side door of my car for me. A guy had never done that for me and that, coupled with all the wonderful easy conversation we had made me know I had something special.
There was no magic moment for me. From the beginning of the relationship he always talked about our relationship like we would be together forever. I took it with a grain of salt thinking he was just like other guys who wouldn't stick around. It took me a while, but one day I realized I had no doubts about spending my life with this amazing man and no doubts that he doesn't mean every word he says about spending the rest of our lives together.
He always tells me he knew I was the right one when we went on our first date and I was wearing a white shirt. I ordered spaghetti and ended up with spaghetti sauce ALL over my shirt (and probably my face!). He thought that was so awesome and that I must of been 'real'.
When I saw him walk into my work. My stomach dropped, I couldn't look at him without smiling, and I really didn't even talk to him. Butterflies galore! It was solidified 1.5 months into our relationship when we went on our first trip and spent 4 days together. I didn't get sick of him! He is also completely in love with his dog and I adore watching him with his pup as I picture our furry kiddo morphing into a beautiful child someday!
after a few nights of talking on the phone after our first date! we moved quick b/c i was moving oot and we had to decide if we were going to make it work or drop it. we chose to make it work :)

NOTE: I'm talking "the one" as in the one you will end up marrying, not specifically soul mates. Just to diffuse that argument before it starts ;)
When did you start getting those feelings? Was it love at first sight, or did it take a few years?
I was thinking about this the other day. For years before I met my SO, I self-injured. I didn't know how to deal with loneliness, anxiety, or anything. One of the first times we were intimate, he saw the scars on my thigh and kissed them. That's the exact moment I thought, hey; this could turn into something more. Since then, I've become healthier and more able to express what I'm feeling instead of internalizing dissappointments. He helped by being patient with me and understanding what I was going through. I know for a fact without his support I'd still be as unhealthy as I was.
So. When did you suspect?
