How did you know you were in love?

[JustOneLastThing]

With DP, I just knew. Forever I hadn't 'got' love songs or poems but now they make sense. We are in sync with each other, we can sit in silence and not feel the need to speak. He is my lobster!

Did you have a moment or did you just always know? Feeling nosy today

I was feeding the dogs one day when I was suddenly and inexplicably hit with the feeling that, if he were to be hit by a bus, I would be utterly devastated. Not in a "I was quite fond of him" sort of way, more of a "god, my life is over" sort of way.

I have never had feelings like that for a man before and was rather taken aback by then in all honesty

@TreacherousPissFlap oh god, yes. The thought of him not being there ever again makes me feel absolutely awful, actual heart ache just at the thought.

After our first shag

It was incredibly AWFUL but all I could think was "Pfft lucky we've got the rest of our lives to sort it out"

On our 2nd date we went to the cinema. He didn't attempt to touch me whilst sat down and I felt I wanted him to (hold my hand, not anything untoward lol)

We'd arrived in separate cars so after the film we stood in the carpark and said goodbye and he made no attempt to kiss me.

I drove home with such a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach because he clearly wasn't into me and I had obviously fallen for him (we met online and had been talking lots over email for a month before our first date). I dismissed my feelings as silly because I didn't know him, how could I be in love .

On our 3rd date (I was quite shocked he asked me) a week later, it was like a dream date. He kissed me, rather passionately, as we waited for our trains . His came first and I watched as he departed. Tears pricked my eyes and that was it, tough luck, I was head over heals.

I wasn't looking for love, neither was he. We'd both had stuff going on and just wanted someone to date,no pressure. 5 years on we are planning our wedding.

I must be getting soppier in my dotage, but these stories are making me feel a bit misty-eyed

We met when I was 17 and he was 21 and we worked together, ended up getting together on a work night out and then going on a date the next week. I remember being 17 and all my mates thought I was crackers that I thought we were going to be little old people together one day and be married for decades.

Thing is, since the first few weeks I could picture us being old together. Now I'm 24 and I couldn't be without him. It upsets me when I hear people bashing their partners to other people, I miss him when I am away for one night. He is just my favorite person on earth and I absolutely adore him and luckily he feels the same way about me. I can't wait to have my baby in October because he is literally born to be a dad and I'm so excited to see him with out little boy ❤
