Nope. Moved in with my DP by then. Now married ten years later!

squaresandsquares · 15/05/2019 18:57

Not at all. I felt like of met the one very quickly

Likethebattle · 15/05/2019 18:58

I fell in love with DH by our third date. I knew then i’d Marry him.

HBStowe · 15/05/2019 18:58

No. I knew the day I met my husband that I would marry him. We had said we loved each other within three months.

That said - we were still very sensible about not rushing things! Though we knew we loved each other very early on, we didn’t rush to move in together or anything. It’s fine to trust your heart, but that doesn’t mean you have to hand it the reins.

Thanks for your replies. I want to tell my boyfriend how I feel but I don't know how or if I should tell him at all?

Same as HBStowe, I knew almost immediately I would marry DH. However, we waited 6 months to get engaged and just over a year to marry (which seems pretty quick looking back - I thought it was ages at the time!).
We've just had our 25th wedding anniversary so I do think sometimes you just know.

NoSauce · 15/05/2019 19:04

I told DH after a week!
As the saying goes - when you know, you know.

Flutra · 15/05/2019 19:12

He's not really one to discuss feelings but I know that he wouldn't deny my feelings. I want to tell him but don't know how or even that I should. These stories are so sweet!

I love him because I feel so comfortable with him

MyNameIsFartacus · 15/05/2019 19:27

As above, when you know, you know. I knew my DH was the one for me the night I met him - moved in after 4 months and got engaged, had a baby and got married, been together 11 years this year - think love was confessed within a few weeks!

LividLaughLove · 15/05/2019 19:28

Nope. I’m one month in.

On date five he said “I know you’ll freak out but I think I love you”. A few dates later I told him back.

Like everybody on here says, he feels like coming home.

cheeseislife8 · 15/05/2019 19:29

Another one here... when you know, you know. DH and I said it by 2 months, and are still happy 9 years later

Procrastination4 · 15/05/2019 19:32

I’m another who knew very quickly that he was the one. However we didn’t get engaged until 16 months after meeting and were married 16 months after that. We’ll be celebrating our 30th anniversary in July.

Procrastination4 · 15/05/2019 19:40

Re. Feeling comfortable with him-yes, exactly that!

Teateaandmoretea · 15/05/2019 20:17

Of course 3 months isn't too soon Grin. Surely it would be worrying if you werent in love 3 months into a relationship Confused?

2ndAugust · 15/05/2019 20:29

Me and dh had what was supposed to a one night stand, carried on seeing each other and both said I love you at exactly the same time 3 weeks later. 14 years on, I’ve never been happier. When you know you know.

vintagesewingmachine · 15/05/2019 20:42

Not at all. DH and I met in early January, started a relationship in early March, started living together mid - April and were engaged in August. We were married 6 months later and have just celebrated our 14th anniversary. After a decade with, and having divorced " Mr Wrong on every count" I knew I had met "The One". We have 2 DC together and, even now, I hate having to spend a night away from him.

Number3or4 · 15/05/2019 20:44

No one can control their emotions, just how they react to them. Just be careful and enjoy your self.

Stressedout10 · 15/05/2019 20:48

My parents met new year eve and were married good Friday 40plus years on and still happy together. When it's right it's right

peachgreen · 15/05/2019 20:58

I knew immediately that DH was the one for me. Not love at first sight exactly but more KNOWING at first sight. Falling in love was still a wonderful, magical process. We moved in together after 3 weeks and have been blissfully happy ever since. I would never ever have believed it could happen before I met him.

Leighhalfpennysthigh · 15/05/2019 21:01

My late husband told me he loved me on our first date. He was 18 and pissed. I was also 18 and so pissed I couldn't get the words out to say it back! He maintained thar he meant it that night, but who knows. We said it lots of times after that night though and it was more than the words - everything he did and said showed he loved me up until the day he died.

I'm with someone else now and he's an actor so tells everyone he loves them, so I didn't believe it for a couple of months. Then something just clicked and I realised that he meant it and I loved him. In fact I think I loved him from the moment we met. He's autistic and behind the drama queen persona there's a lovely man who needs me and loves me. We're now engaged and I know well stay together - as long as we don't live together!

NoSauce · 15/05/2019 21:03

Lovely post Leigh ❤️

Ineedamanipedi · 15/05/2019 21:06

No. I had LOTS of boyfriends before DH. I thought I loved them, I told them I loved them, I had several-year-long relationships with them.
Then I met DH and I realised I’d just been kidding myself with the others! I couldn’t stop thinking about him, cried every day when he went on holiday and told him I loved him after about 2 months (not like me at all - I was a real cool cucumber with all the other boys!) Luckily he felt the same....Grin

AlaskanOilBaron · 15/05/2019 21:07

My husband and I met at a wedding - nothing short of a lightening bolt.

Still married nearly 20 years later - I'd advise my children to move more slowly, it wasn't always easy, but we've grown into each other and can't really function independently.
