how did you know you had met the right one?

Online dating for years.

When and how did you know?

We actually met at work! He was a colleague and we met and I knew something was going to happen between us when I first set eyes on him & before I had even spoken to him! We gradually got to know each other over a couple months then got speaking on Facebook and he asked me out. As soon as we had the first date I knew he was the one, he never made me feel anxious or second guessing him at all during the "talking" phase and I never had any reason to not trust him. Everyone I had seen before him I just never felt comfortable with! But with him it was much different and just felt right, we both wanted the same thing and were basically the same person. I developed very very bad mental health a couple months after we started going out and he moved me into his house and looked after me and helped me get over a lot of my issues and sort myself out, I would never of guessed someone would do that going out with someone a couple months! We get married February 2021 😊

We matched on Tinder within an hour of me being on it and arranged a date. Then I changed my mind and said I was too nervous. He persuaded me to have one drink with him. Our first date lasted 8 hours. Neither of us wanted it to end and kept asking each other if we should get another drink, stayed surprisingly sober. Kissed at the train station.

We arranged a second date. I panicked because I knew if I started a relationship with him it would be for life and cancelled the second date on Christmas Eve. He was gutted and closed his Tinder because he thought 'I won't have a first date like that again and I am going to be single.' I did exactly the same, came off Tinder and thought I will just be single. Kept thinking about him and his preserved vegetables though haha.

A month later he popped up on my 'People you may know' on FB. I was tipsy and added him as a friend. Told him I couldn't stop thinking about him, he said he felt the same, asked him if he was still interested in me, he said he was but I had to stop being a dick and he wasn't playing games so I either go for it and go on a second date or stop messing him about. Went on a second date and we have been a couple ever since. I love how he just cut through my bullshit and over analysis and made me feel safe. I love him and he loves me and we are very sure of that. Very simple really.
