When you met your DH/DP, did you know they were The One?

[alionlikeme]

I've never met anyone who I feel would easily be my 'other half', even although they're always been perfectly nice.

In the last five years I've never even wanted to take someone home for the night. I know my best friend thinks I'm picky but it comes back to that again and again

No, i wasn't very interested, but so many people said i didn't give any man a chance, so i thought i would give this guy a chance, just to shut everyone up. 6 weeks of dating later i realised he was the one!

When I first saw DH I said to my (now very good but had only just met her) friend that I wouldn't mind taking him for a test drive

8 years of marriage and 2 DC later.....

I think it was around our 3rd date maybe I started to realise he was so very different to any previous partners. I mean light years away from anybody else I'd been with! So yes had a very strong inkling he was a keeper, then maybe a few months later I knew I'd want to marry him

Yes but he didn't

Yup, when I first saw him I just knew. It wasn't love at first sight as such, but I knew he was the man I would marry.

But we met at 17 and hadn't dated much beforehand. Maybe that's how everyone feels when they're attracted to someone, we were just lucky enough it worked out.

Took about a week. By the end of the first date I was massively in lust though.

Yes, instantly (sorry ). He felt the same way. Celebrating 31 years in April.

Yes. Engaged and living together After 2 weeks

After a week together we both knew. It wasn't a "OMG I just can't live without you" feeling. It was a comfy feeling and a "I can see us getting married" matter of fact feeling.

20+ years ago now.

Yes but he didn't

😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, instantly, sorry

No, I'm glad. Means I haven't dismissed the man of my dreams

No, high school sweethearts, so marriage and long term in general was far from our minds. I'm not even sure at what point I knew I'd marry him, I think I just never could imagine life without him so marriage and babies came very naturally, never over thought it really.

No. Just thought he was nice enough to go out with a couple of times and see how it went.
Then he grew on me.

I'd actually love this. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely not.

We were good mates for years before we ‘got together’, and we both had other relationships during this time. We are still, 20+ years later, first and foremost best mates rather than any ‘hearts & flowers’ romantic stuff.

Yes. We got engaged after 6 weeks. Married a year later. 3 DCs and 23 years later we are still together.

Not really we were only 7 when we met. I thought he was a grubby boy and was best friends with his sister.

Yes, within about five minutes. It was a proper coup de foudre. And awkward as I was engaged and due to be married in five months. So I had some unravelling to do before we could make it work.

He's still pretty fabulous.

No. we first met online and it wasn't online dating. I wasn't looking for a relationship, but was happy enough with an online friend. After a year or so we met up, and eventually our friendship developed into a relationship. We got married a few years later and have been married for 12 years.

We decided (half jokingly) to get married the night we met, and we did, one year later. That was 10 years ago :)

yes, knew straight away, just felt that we belonged together.
Living together within weeks and married within six months (no not pregnant).
Will celebrate 29 years in January.

Yes! I came home from our second date and told my housemates I was going to marry him!

Yes on the first date. We spent 24 hours together and never wanted to be apart. We moved in together after two months, engaged after 5 months and together now after 3 years and love each other so very deeply.

Yup! Told my best friend after the first date I thought we'd get married and we have 😀
