You wanted to be with forever...

I wanted to help the girls that have lost their way while their SO's are on deployment. I know I personally went through my own doubts but it helped me to remember what made me fall in love with him...

So come on girls start sharing lets make each other smile;)

As corny as this sounds the moment I laid eyes on him.

Okay Okay ....I take that back. The second time I saw him. The first time i saw him he was drinking out of a lightbulb. The second time I could feel someone staring me down in another vechicle (a bunch of us were taking a roadtrip to a frat party :P)

I knew he was it. I had to have him :)

p.s. AWESOME post! what about you?

:lol

When DB and I went out for our first date.

he tried to impress me by ordering something fancy and was like "I'll take the pecking duck".....it was PEKING.....:lmao

He was just so cute.

he does everythin to make me happy goes out of his way to see me smile and i love that about him!

we "met" on myspace 2 days after Christmas 05...Jan 5, 06 we met in person...I knew then that we was the one....I fell in love with him right then and there....I did not tell him this until 2 weeks later...and I was scared he was gonna run like hell...he did not, and looked me in the eyes and said "I love you too, I started to fall in love with you well before our first date, but didn't want to scare you away....I miss my soul mate :tears

For me there was multiple times that made me fall harder and harder for him. One that really stands out is, we were already living together (we moved in together fairly fast) and I came home after work and the kids where all over me, I was cooking dinner and washing dishes and started to get real overwhelmed with it all. He stepped in and told me to take a seat, he finished dinner, washing dishes and getting the kids to bed. No one had ever done that for me and I was in complete shock, it opened my eyes to who he really was as a person and what I wanted from someone. I miss my DH!!

I don't know yet...but every day, more and more, he amazes me and makes me feel better about who I am and what I want to be...more than any other man before him. I also know that I want to do whatever I can to help him be the best man he can...

I don't know if that's love...feels like it :wub

We'll see! :xfingers

Sure sounds like love.;)

Just everything - I knew when he was so willing to do ANYTHING to make me happy that he was the one. He tries so hard and most of the time he succeeds. I love him to death and I love how I fall in love with him more and more as time goes by. :)

Sure sounds like love.;)

Yeah...I think I'm scared to love him. We're so alike and go together so well, it's scary :oogle

We had some pretty big ups and downs in the first 6 months of our relationship. Plus, we were 1800 miles apart. It wasn't until after we manipulated over an enormous speed bump in our relationship around the 7-8 month did I know he was the one for me forever...
When he told me that he was ready to be a father to my son, I realized he was the most genuine, self-less, and loving man that I could ever imagine sharing my life with.

Yeah...I think I'm scared to love him. We're so alike and go together so well, it's scary :oogle

Oh trust me I know the feeling....just go with it and it will work out...Good luck girlie;)

Oh trust me I know the feeling....just go with it and it will work out...Good luck girlie;)

Thanks! We talked tonight and it felt like the most natural conversation in the world...He's wonderful :blush

BTW, LESS THAN ONE WEEK FOR YOU!!!!!!!! :cp

I know exactly how you feel right now!
I mean IDK if its love or not but he just makes me feel like I am better than good enough, and he tells me that hes never been more confident or devoted to a girl b4, I know I want to make things last with him, and anytime someone mentions him or i talk to him my stomach does the whole summer-saults butterfly thingy!

I knew immediatly that there was something special about my DB...we were friends for the first year or so...and I just couldn't seem to get enough of him...I loved being around him...he always made me smile...and the butterflies WOW...those were crazy...

I knew when we first started dating that I really loved him....BUT it was rough because I knew we both were not ready to be thinking about marriage...I would say in the last year I have realized that I cannot wait to be married to this man and spend forever with him!!! I think its because we are both now in good places with our careers and our maturity level :D

i knew he was the one when i moved in with my dog a couple of years ago. he's a HUGE neat freak and HATES any kind of mess, and well, with me and a shedding dog there was quite a bit of it!

so suddenly he didn't care about the mess that came with us, because he loved having us there so much. so now i try to be cleaner, because i want him to have his neat apartment, and he cleans up after me, because he doesn't want me to suddenly have to be a super neat person. anyway, it's a good example of how we treat our relationship--each doing things for the other person. oh how i miss him...he is the best!

:lovestruck :lovingyou :smitten :sweetheart :wub

Thanks! We talked tonight and it felt like the most natural conversation in the world...He's wonderful :blush

BTW, LESS THAN ONE WEEK FOR YOU!!!!!!!! :cp


I know Im super excited, it's only been a year! haha Thanks

I knew he was the one when we first hung out...he was so caring and so passionate about me, I started to feel the same with him. We were together 24/7 and I knew I couldn't be without him :blush

I knew he was the one the first time we really hung out alone and he was willing to sit on the couch and be lazy with me all day long [this is huge bc he is a hardcore outdoorsman] :) i love him and miss him oh so much!!

I know exactly how you feel right now!

You know what? For me, my stomach DOESN'T flip flop when I think of him...and THAT'S why I know it's better, healthier, different. I am not scared of sharing with him, I'm not worried when he's not with me that he's cheating or that he ISN'T thinking about me. He loves sharing with me...

I know that he is genuine in his interest in me...He's a good man...

It's nice to hear he says those things to you, btw. VERY sweet and wonderful! (L)

Come on girls keep it flowing!!

:bringit

As corny as this sounds the moment I laid eyes on him.


:agree same here(L):smitten:wub:bliss

i knew he was it ... when we first went to the grocery store to get icecream (because we had previously had a talk that coldstone was too expensive)... and after we picked one out, he stops... looks up at me... and goes "don't be mad, but this other one is 10 cents cheaper"

BAM. i knew it. he was perfect.

When he farted on me. It really made me see just how deep and prolific our relationship was.

The day he left for boot camp and I realized I couldn't live without him.

new years eve 2007

When he farted on me. It really made me see just how deep and prolific our relationship was.

:hystericlaugh

Everyday I realize a little more how incredible he is :smitten

About a month ago we were emptying boxes when we moved into our new house, where I found some of his school notebooks of the time when we were just getting started. On the backs of the note books there were poems and notes about me and how he wanted to tell me how much he loved me... :bliss

He was painting the garaged while I was reading them... And I thank god a million times that I followed my heart and made all the choices that I did to be with him :cloud9

when i was 17 db worked in a tattoo shop. my best friend had just turned 18 and was using the opportunity to get he tongue pierced. we all thought he was so hot! :giggle every time i passed by the place i would ask if he was there!

later that year i moved to new york for college, and two years later i moved back. i went to go get a ring in my nose changed and recognized him. i started talking to him and we hit it off. we went out on a date that friday, he was my first motorcycle ride! our first date lasted nearly a week. we just kept talking - and none of it was that BS about "so what do you do? what's your family like?" we were incredibly honest from the very beginning. we hung out nearly every day since then, until he went to BCT in february.

our three years together has been full of ups and downs but every day i reaffirm my feelings for him. we have been through so much and have only become stronger for it.

:blahblah. i'll quit now except to say that i am still VERY in love. (L)

He'd kill me if he saw that I wrote this, but I knew the first (and so far only) time that he cried in front of me.

It showed me that, while he's a really tough guy, he actually trusted me enough to open up to me.

We had been together for about a week or two, and had a little mishap one night, and i was sooo upset, but later that night he called and called and called and then came to my house in the middle of the night sooo upset to apoligize and just hugged me and i knew that if he was that eager to get my forgiveness over something so silly, he was absolutely the one for me :smitten:smitten

I'm not sure. It happened in stages, if that makes sense. The first was when I went to the UK for a trip after college graduation. I was gone for 5 weeks and have never missed anyone so bad. I think that was the first time marriage popped into my mind.

Then later that summer we actually had a rough patch and broke up. I was devestated, even though I was the one who initiated it. My worst thought was him as an older man, having something wrong and I wouldn't be there for him. I pictured him in a hospital bed all alone. I don't know where it came from but i cried myself sick. :tears

Thankfully we talked it out and have now been married almost a year. I can't imagine life without him. I never thought i could feel so strongly for someone. :smitten

the first time he told me he loved me. not because he said it, but the way he said it. we were with a bunch of friends and he "signed" it to me. he pointed to his eye, made a heart with his hands, and then pointed to me :)

I just knew it :) He was the one he was jumping on the trampoline with my cousin and I fell in love :)...MMM he had big hair..like mushroom hair..so cute...and he was soooo shy....and so innocent looking and he had sexy arms....:lovestruck...I just knew he was the one...it was like one of those sloooow motion moments... :) ...there was just something differnt about him....:)

When he farted on me. It really made me see just how deep and prolific our relationship was.

:rofl

that's funny, cuz I was just about to post that I "knew" the day he spooged in my eye! :lmao

To answer the OP though...I can't say there was a significant moment. It was fast and hard (no, dirty girls, not the sex :rolleyes)....it was like we knew this was where we were supposed to be all along.

No joke....the first time I saw him-and it grows every day :smitten He is, no doubt, the love of my life (L)

That is soooo cute! :yes

honestly...the first date.

The first time I saw him. But the funny thing is we HATED each other. . .or so we said. He secretly liked me and I liked him but we were dating different ppl and didn't want to tell each other how we felt. But what made me fall in love with him was his personality, his laugh, his eyes, just him! Everything he is. There isn't just one thing. Corny I know but still!

i was on a cruise with my choir from school.and it was the last night of the cruise and i was on the very front of the ship there was a full moon and it was the most beautiful night i have ever seen and he was the only one i wanted there... i didnt care that my friends were there and i got chills. i knew then that i loved him so much more then i thought possible. i had never felt that way about someone. and that feeling still hasnt faded.

ok, this will prolly be long, just a warning... lol.

SO the first time I knew he was the one was before we were "official." we were just friends but he came to my house all the time. he had way long shaggy hair so I asked him if I could style it. so he let me wash his hair in my bathroom sink (had him on his knees before we were even together, hahah) then he let me blow dry it AND straighten it! but I was standing behind him while he was on his knees and I had the biggest urge to pull his head back and give him the best kiss of his life! for some reason I didnt but it was then I knew we would be together one day.

OH! then there was another time before we were together. he was gonna walk to my house, mind you it was bout 2 miles. so we decided to meet in t he middle then walk to my house together. well I make it bout half a mile and it starts raining so I run into the nearest store... well Im walkin around kinda waiting for it to stop thinking he'd do the same. bout 10 minutes later it stops and I start walked, get bout two blocks and there he is, completely soaked from head to toe as im totally dry. He said he didnt want to leave me waiting :)

The first time we kissed, I knew. My friend and I were getting ready to leave another friend's house and go home. We were really tired, so we went out without really saying goodbye to anyone. Well two seconds after we walked out, he came out and goes "weren't you gonna say goodbye?" and I apologized and he walked me to my friend's car. Then he looked at me and said, "I'm sorry if this is too forward" and he kissed me :). As soon as I got into my friend's car I told her that was the guy I was going to spend the rest of my life with. And now we're engaged :).

The first time we talked on the phone, about 3 days after meeting in a bar New Year's Eve, we talked for over 3 hours. My feeling was "I've been looking for you, where have you been, took you long enough to find me". It honestly was like a sigh of relief that I'd come home. Best way to explain it. We hadn't even gone on a date at that point but a day later I told my best friend I was going to marry that boy and I did, 7 years ago.

me and my best friend went out one night because i had just broke it off with a guy from my past. He was my highschool sweetheart and we tried to get back together but shit happened and so I said it wasnt going to work out. so me and my best friend go out and in the middle of my drinking the pain away these 2 guys walk in, and i was standing up dancing. when I saw him I sat down because my legs gave out on me, and I told my best friend " you see that guy over there im gonna marry him one day". She laughed at me and said I was crazy cause I didnt even know his name. The very next night I got stood up for a date, and so my best friend called them and invited them to a halloween ball with us and that night he asked me to marry him with a plastic bat ring. We will be married 4 years in August.

There was no one moment that told me he was the one... there were all sorts of moments that kept adding on...

There was the time school was canceled because it was too cold (35 below) and he walked the 3ish miles to my house to spend the day with me and have dinner with my family that night

There was the time he INSISTED on going to the doctors with me a few months into our relationship because I had a REALLY bad outbreak thanks to my HS... he hates doctors offices and he even came in and held my hand the whole time the doctor did what needed to be done (not normally a sight a senior in high school is willing to deal with)

The time he said I love you... It took him forever to spit it out... I knew he was going to say it when he took me to the park that night to lay in the middle of the field and look at the stars like I love to do... He was shaking uncontrollably, it was so cute and sweet.

There was Valentines day where he went above and beyond any expectations I could even pretend to have... going so far as to make a mix cd designed to last exactly as long as we would be in the car.

The first time he said he wanted to marry me, over the phone while he was waiting at MEPS to go to basic.. and all the letters that followed that talked about his dreams of me in his future.

It all added up. There wasn't a single time where I suddenly realized "oh... he is the one!" It just came about that when he did finally ask me to marry him, it felt as normal and natural as him asking me to go see a movie that night. It is something that has been building up ever since I met him in 7th grade and realized during lunch in 8th grade that I had a crush on him.

It was just something that was inevitable. I never thought about it... it just happened, it just worked out. Being with him has always been like breathing... I just do it... and I only think about it when I can't do it.

Every day I fall in love with him more and more. It was when we started to get deep into our relationship and I was gaining weight like mad from birth control. I was very depressed about it, he told me he would take me anyway he could get me. Right then I knew he loved me for me and not what I looked like. Everyday he comments on how I look and how much I mean to him. I love him more and more as the days go by.

When he farted on me. It really made me see just how deep and prolific our relationship was.
:rofl
That's amazing Brittany :D

As I've said 1,000 times before (sorry for the repeats) DB and I were friends for about 10 years now. We met in 10th grade and he fell in love with me the first time he saw me. We dated for about a month but I was only 15 and much too shy to have a boyfriend. So I ended it. He was devastated. Later that year, he moved to Texas and I thought I might die. My friend kept teasing me about how I like him and am too chicken to do anything about it. We kept in touch until 2002/2003. He came back to Cali but I said I wouldn't date him because I had a bf at the time and he lived too far away anyway. He was heartbroken once again... I never stopped thinking about him for the next 6 years.

I got into a bad relationship and all of my communication with my friends was cut off. I would sneak to a friends house who happened to be DB's best friend. He told me that DB was married and had a child and just got back from Iraq. I moved overseas with my then bf for 4.5 months. I returned alone, snuck back to my friends house and he told me that DB split up with his wife and was being stationed in Germany. She's notorious for cheating. I was ecstatic! But still with then bf. Last July...I left the bad relationship finally, got myspace, and went on a hunt for DB.

I found him here in Germany getting ready to deploy to Iraq in Sept. They were on block leave and his bday was coming up. In fact, on the 17th will be one year since I found my soul mate again. We emailed back and forth until he came to my house for R&R in January. I had plans to see if we could be together since I never really stopped caring for him all those years. I knew he was the one for me from the moment our eyes met when I picked him up at the airport. He's the only person who's every reached out and showed me my own dreams and their support for them.

Everyday I fall harder and harder. I knew he was the one and my mom thougt I was nuts. But I told her, "mom, everyone says, 'when you know, you know' and I KNOW." All of my family fell in love with him from day 1. I love my soul mate.

I knew he was the one when I first laid eyes on him. That sounds corny but it's true.

By the end of the first date-- First the conversation just flowed- and I couldn't stop staring at his eyes, which looked DIRECTLY in mine when he talked to me (which I think is awesome)... then when he took my hand at the table and it sent chills up my spine... and when he kissed me goodnight- he made my knees weak-

It's only now I'm beginning to accept this though- I was hell bent on thinking this was infatuation, becuase you're not supposed to feel this way this fast about someone- but I'm starting to be convinced I'm wrong-

Plus- he can read me like a book- and he told me he KNOWS how I feel about him- and he feels the same... but that he won't say it yet, becuase when he does, it "will blow my mind"...

**sigh**... Just thinking about him makes me smile...:D

Oh... and 3 days into us hanging out, when he told me he was deploying in 4 months, and all I could think about in my head was "I'll miss him- but I'm not walking away from this"... that was pretty telling....

I knew that we were meant for each other when we went on our first date and we were asking questions about one another and one of his first questions was: (not something normal like whats your fav. music but....)

If you were a bobble head which one would you be....I was like this dude is such a crackhead goofball.....I have to be with him :giggle

But the real real time I knew he was the one was when we were dancing to Garth Brooks and he started singing to me in my ear then took me down to the beach in my backyard to tell me that he was in love with me.....adorable! then he gave me the world famous DUCKY KISS!! It's hilarious!!:cloud9

Oh my gosh all those stories were SOOOO cute! I almost started crying because I was reminded of my SO and how much I miss him just thinking about when I knew he was the one.

There are a few times when I knew he was the one. We were lying in bed one night and he goes, "I think even if we were only friends I'd still love you."

Another time he donated 100 bucks to a radio station for a chance to win tickets to one of my favorite bands. And this is a guy that doesn't even buy things for himself.

Before we officially started dating, he called my older brother for permission to take me out - he wanted to make sure it was ok with him because they had been friends. It was SOOO cute! (L)

Then there's the random things: like the time my side mirror flew off my car during a wind/rain storm, and he jumped outta the car in the middle of the street and looked for it in the road. Just as a cop was driving by...lol. And the time I cut my finger on a can of tuna, so I was jumping up and down in pain, he helped me bandage it and opened the can for me and stirred it into my mac n cheese. I told him I could do it myself, but he refused and wouldn't let me go near the can. Lol...(L)

Well, I have never been the type of girl to daydream about weddings and families... in fact for most of my life those were things I actively did not want. And then, I met my lovely DB at a Thanksgiving dinner hosted by mutual friends. He was literally the only person I didn't know in the house (out of 30 or 40), and yet I was drawn to him immediately, completely lost track of time, and spent the whole night talking to him. Did I mention he was boozefaced? Yeah, definitely a lil :drunk Still, that was the single best night of conversation ever. I doubt we'll ever run out of things to blab about.

We had our first date 2 days later, and he was quite the gentleman. I mean he really laid it on thick: wine, flowers, fancy dinner, the whole nine yards... and by the time we were 15 minutes into the meal we had digressed into conversation about sketch comedy and crude jokes :lol Within a couple weeks I started to have these visions of he and I together, as a family, which scared the living hell out of me, I'm not gonna lie!! ;) A girl who had no plans to be anyone's missus doesn't tend to fantasize about weddings and babies out of the blue. But it didn't take long for me to come around to the idea, and now I couldn't be happier. I'm just impatient for our life together to get started!!

I could bore you with the details forever, but you'd prolly :pukey

When he went to Germany for winter break and I couldn't go a moment without thinking about him. And he told me seeing me at the airport waiting for him was the best airport memory he had.

(and he's been deployed and had a girlfriend meet him at the airport upon coming home... so, that was something HUGE)

The first night I met him, my older brother, took me to the movies to help him find a girl *I was his ticket for a date "OHHH you are such a sweet older brother! Taking your little sister to movies" * Hubby walked in through the doors , my brother introduced us and I just thought "he seems so sweet"
Well my brother ended up abandoning me for a girl:vent it was the LOTR's two towers. well anyways, it was around 2 am, hubby ended up sitting right next to me, since my brother gave the spot to his "girl" for the night :mumble.
I was so tired.... I didn't know what to do... So before I knew it I was sleeping on hubby's shoulder... He put his jacket over me and just let me sleep through the rest of the movie. I never felt so comfortable with anybody before. It just felt so right. I woke up and I just froze up when I realized what I did. He just smiled and kissed my cheek and said good night. :lovestruck
He told me later that he thought he'd never see me again.
LOL so that's why he felt so bold. Also I really didn't think much of it because in Hispanic culture its all about kissing on the cheek so everyone does it. :lol

Couple of nights later I was invited to a friend's brithday party, it was just 8 of us watching movies, hubby was one of them.
AGAIN I fell asleep on his shoulder!!!! I don't know how the guy does it!
But he said that it just felt so right he didn't have the heart to tell me to get off. :giggle
So at the end of the night I asked for his email, and he gave it to me...
Anyways the point is I think I just felt so comfortable around him, everything just felt like I was suppose to be with him.
He emailed me all the time, and before we knew it we were flirting like crazy.
He was my confidant.
I still feel that way.
I love my best friend :smitten
