How did you know she was the "one?"
Simple as that......gimme details.....Cuz I've got things on my mind.

Easy. Everybody else said no.

 

[Mr N8]

I loved her, my family loved her, I like her family (minus the deadbeat dad), and she said Yes.

Oh, and we are total opposites. She is outgoing and crazy, and I'm more reserved and like small groups / personal conversations. We compliment each other's weaknesses very nicely.

i got an email from the marriage fairy

 

[StormRider]

She actually said "yes"?

...a lot of my friends have this similar situation and it was horrible...marriage did not last long as it should have. Marriage when forced on you will have a negative effect instead of being the positive life changing event.

it just kinda happened. its wasnt all at once, but after a little while, i knew.

I knew that he was *the one* because i could imagine waking up next to him for the next 50 years and being happy that its him every single day. i could not imagine anyone but him to have children with.

Everyday my love grew/grows stronger and better.
and, that even if there are fights, and problems, we always can work through them because i would be a little less fullfilled with out him

It was simple for me.

I've always been shy and horrible in social situations. I could never talk to anyone longer than 10 minutes without running out of things to say. With a girl, make that 1 minute. I'm just not good at conversation. Well there was a girl I was eyeing for quite some time - had the exact personality I like and very good looking too. I'll skip the long complicated story, but I called her up one day and we talked for 8 hours straight. Its a few months shy of 10 years we've been together and we still can entertain each other and don't have those akward conversation pauses.

So basically I knew she was the one after our first phone call.

Other signs that pointed to her being the one for me:
1) When she wasn't home when she promissed I was worried about her not angry.
2) When both of us would rather spend time together than doing the things we would never give up before (other friends, computer games, etc).
3) The first kiss had the magic that other kisses lacked.

My wife and I got together when she was 15 and I was 17. I knew very quickly that I wanted to marry her and have a family with her. I just felt happy when I was with her and lonely when I wasn't. We had been dating for 5 years and living together for 2 years when she got pregnant. That wasn't the reason we got married. It was just the reason we got married WHEN we did.

There is no "the one". There's only the best-fit-that-you've-had-the-op-to-meet.

I felt that way too. Shortly after meeting my future wife, we were talking on the phone for hours every day.

You'll know... or think you know... and then you'll become part of the 50% who thought they knew but realized they were wrong.

 

[blackdogdeek]

i didn't know until we had our first conversation. i've never been that comfortable while speaking with anyone and it was as if we had known each other our entire lives.

 

[WHipLAsh13]

Don't know if she is the "One" but we got along well and enjoyed each other's company.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Well, if you're not sure then I guess she's not the one.

 

[Quixfire]

I knew she was the one when she said "I <type of bird>."

I chicken???


I dated my wife 5 years before we got married. We lasted the test of time. I know a guy that got married just a few months after he and his then-girlfriend started dating. When they got married I thought it was a mistake simply because you don't get to really know someone in just a few months. Now they have been married about a year, she is pregnant, and at times it seems like their marriage is starting to develop some fractures.

 

[farmercal]

I asked GOD to give me a sign if she WAS the girl I was supposed to marry. I got my sign immediately and 26 years later we are still together and going strong.

 

[krunchykrome]

I've been seeing this girl and it just gets worst and worst. Im 21. I didnt even want a girlfriend, then she came along and I went with it. I really didnt wanna get attatched emotionally (fall in love.) And that happened too. And now I have this crazy feeling inside of me that she's gonna be the one for me and I dont know what to do. I dont want that feeling there and it just gets worse and worse everyday. I cant explain it.

if you don't know it it aint her.

I have to agree with this. I've been married now for almost 12 years(August will be 12) and we have been together almost 15 years(October). I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. Somehow, I just knew it.
