To think he might be "the one" after 1 date?

I've been single for about 7 years so I've been on probably hundreds of dates lol (only in the last year I've been dating with the intention of a serious relationship though)

I'm on a dating app and starting chatting to a guy who definitely isn't my usual type physically but there was something drawing me to him, and I do still find him attractive, so we started talking and things were flowing, exchanged numbers, spoke every day all day for about a week before meeting up for a drink at a local pub.
We spent the next 7 hours laughing and talking, the pub eventually closed for the night so I called a taxi, we stood and chatted outside until it arrived, shared a kiss and I went home. We carried on texting for another hour or two and have arranged to meet up tomorrow for bowling and a meal.

Something just feels... different this time. As soon as I sat down something in my brain was almost like "yep he's the one".

Am I being totally unreasonable here haha? Does this actually happen in real life, or should I maybe see a neurologist because I've finally lost the plot??

I know a girl who met a guy at a NYE party and told friends that night she'd met the guy she was going to marry.

We celebrate our silver wedding anniversary next month!

Aw love this! Me and DH were the same, I just knew but played it cool and hoped he felt the same. He got drunk and said he knew he wanted to marry me after our first date a few months in and then was mortified he'd told me that but I said I felt the same but also didn't want to say in case I sounded crazy! We've been together for 15 years now and married for 11. Of course nothing is perfect but I still feel so lucky.

My husband always says he knew from the first date, me? I’m not sure. But I was only 17 at the time so wasn’t sure about anything, whereas he was older.

Been together 21 years, very happily married with 2 kids.

Have you told him about this thread? 🫣 Did he know you were "the one" for him on the 1st date, too? 🥰

NomDe · 09/07/2023 19:46

YANBU OP. Come back and let us know when the wedding is ;)
