When did you know he was 'The One'?

[DaisyBug]

How and when did you know your partner was 'The One'? Just curious.

Almost instantly.... but then I was drunk

Met and communicated for about a week online. First face to face meeting, not a word between us, just kissed...I knew roundabout then lol

I never wanted a One really; I knew DH was The One I Could Probably Tolerate when I saw him (before we went out properly) making spaghetti bolognese and freezing it into portions for the coming week, and when I saw him with his mother.

I still don't know if he is TBH. I just knew he was more of a one than other ones I've had. Lol...

Communicated for about 3 months online, then met him for a picnic, and when we said goodbye he kissed me and OMG!!! Thunderbolt city! I told my mates that night that I was gonna never let that one go. Married 7 years, pg with DC3 and I still lose my bearings when we kiss. He can be a shit sometimes though

After about 6 months of me intensively grilling him

After a weekend of meeting (I was on a girls weekend, he was on a lads one) and getting to know one another shagging! We left on nice terms but no real commitment to see each other again.

Texted a bit and 2 days later he called me at work and said 'I have to see you, can't stop thinking about you, I'm coming over tonight' (we lived in diferent areas - both with our parents)

Have been head over heels since then - that was 10 years ago. Never want to be without him in my life, he's the best, most kind, amazing man I've ever met!

Thoroughly depressed at "lose my bearings when we kiss"
I can't even imagine how that feels. I'm so jealous.

There is no such thing as "the one". It's an outdated misogynistic crock of shit.

I strongly suspected it from day one we had so much in common and a shared world view. I knew it for sure when I found out I'd got pregnant 10 days after we got together. He handled it like and absolute hero and a year later I couldnt be happier with my instant family

Why is the concept of meeting one person with whom you have a unique connection misogynistic?

Thanks for your responses so far everybody.

Re: 'There is no such thing as "the one". It's an outdated misogynistic crock of shit.'

Actually, I agree. Let's change that to, 'How did you know he was the one you were going to settle down with/marry/have kids with?'

I loved him after 2 months. Don't remember thinking he is the one as such though.

Sorry isla If it is any consolation, I did not meet him until I was 35. I had my share of tossers before then

hairytale clearly you have yet to meet them.

spice17 I could write an identical post, we always think it was fate we met in a foreign country. We were living in separate parts of the country but grew up 10 minutes down the road from each other.

It was imagining any other woman having his babies that clinched it for me (couldn't tolerate that thought at all!). Mind you after producing three DS's all resembling different aspects of their father, I do think you can have too much of a good thing .

I am still not 100% sure

tbh

As soon as we smiled at each other and started talking, within a minute or so of meeting. We were both a bit pished but I honestly just knew he was different to anybody else I'd ever met.

Apologies to anybody who is just eating

I knew he was going to be an important part of my life the day my step dad's dad died.
He kept my devastated little sister giggling all day, kept me in hot sweet tea, and made me dinner and put on my favourite movie that night. We were just friends at this point.
I'd never had anyone be so kind to me before. It took another year for us to get together, but I knew it would happen in time

Soon as he shyly came over to my desk at work with a floppy disk (we are going back to 1985 here), smiled showing these gorgeous dimples and asked me if I could possibly print out a document for him as his computer was broken.....

25 years married next month and the dimples still make my heart skip a beat!

My DP told me he thought he loved me after 2wks, I'd had similar feelings before this but my excuse is I was only 17, and he was just a soppy git! 8 years on and I still take the piss out of him for it tolerate him

I have my own very romantic and lovely love story about me and my DP. I knew I wanted to be with him, share a life and have a child with him just about straight away (we were online friends for a while before meeting). Three years later we are still very much in love and we have a 7 month old babytogether (we are both in our forties (I'm 44) - and hadn't yet had any children)

I was never a girl to fall for the spin about growing up and meeting a handsome prince who'd save me. Personally I think it's misogynistic.

We hadn't long met when I lost one of my parents and my life just turned upside down. He lived in a different part of the country and within a week of the passing, found a job near me and a flat and was a solid support. He took on my crazy family, has seen me at my worst and is the kindest man I've ever met.

I believe that if there's something bloody good in front of you, you should just go for it.

When I locked eyes with him for the first time

2 years later my heart still skips a beat when I look at him, he's just so bloody gorgeous and lovely and all mine sorry!!
