The first time there were red flags and I ignored them and got married anyway. He had a two year old sweet boy and I think I loved being the mommie. We divorced after 13...bad years.
I met my DH while we were volunteering on a life squad...we joke we rescued each other. We have been married for 20 years.

i thought that i found the ONE a couple of years ago. It was in a hotel and my younger brother brought this waitress to my attention and he wanted me to introduce myself to her. Wow, when i saw her for the first time i was dazzled and mesmerised by her beauty and this distinctive way that she walked. I was so shy though to break the ice and talk to her so i decided to get her flowers, and that ended up beeing the first time that we spoke. We stayed in contact casually but we didnt become anything more than friends -although i wanted it to be more, but i could tell that she wasnt interested when i went back there the next year. It was a shame though because it felt like a good sign because my younger brother introduced me to her.

i was with my ex for 3 and a half years and we were engaged. Yes I loved him, but long story short he changed and got very mean yada yada yada that ended. i met my current bf well it starts like this drove an hour away form my house and got to the street i was goin and someone smashed into my car... the shop i took my car to i had to go to a few times so i kinda got to know the people who worked there. the day i got my car back my sister called and begged me for an hour to go out with her which i didnt want to do i finally agreed. at the bar waiting for a drink i hear a "hey" and its the guy from the shop who painted my car. we have small talk, my sister starts talking to him and later on i go with her to his house. he lives with my current bf. anyways that day i met him i knew there waS something different about him than anyone else id been with. on our first date i knew he was the one i dont know how to explain it.. even being with my ex for so long and yes i loved him but not at all like this. since the day i met him i havent stopped thinking about him he still gives me butterflies its been over a year. and getting to know him the things we have in common and the striking similarities in our lives that most people never experience hes lol i cant even put into words

I met my wife at a wedding party. She was sitting opposite me at a table with many others all around. A voice in my head simply said that she would be important to me. It wasn't me talking to myself; it was distinctly a message from somewhere else. In retrospect, the "wording" of the message is odd, but it has been true.
It's the only time I've had an experience such as this and I'm not at all vulnerable to airy-fairy notions and reading signs in tea leaves or any other such nonsense.

I knew as soon as I started dating my current wife that she was "the one" for me. Her and I were friends for a good while before we ever dated so I already knew her well and knew that she was a first class person. Dating her never really crossed mind at first, but things slowly changed as I got to know her more and discovered that our personalities as well as our values/beliefs were in total agreement. I came to the realization that, for a marriage/wife, she had the qualities and character that I desired and needed and that would sustain over the long haul. The type of woman I could have a family with.

I don't know if I believe that there is only "one" perfect person for each of us. There are probably other people that I could have a successful marriage relationship with, but, it sure would be hard to beat the one I have now.

Default Did you know he/she was "the one?"

I was actually a wrong number. We talked on the phone for a couple of weeks. He originally lived here and was on a plane from CA before I knew it.

I knew he was the one when I picked him up at the airport stairing into those beautiful green eyes stairing back into mine and then he kissed me. We were married 5 months later .

Nah. I don't fart in front of my husband either, and I have friends in their 20's and 30's that won't either. So not generational

I like people, but I'm very introverted. If I spend too much time with anyone, even my best friends, I start getting that restless feeling that I need to be alone for a while. I knew that my husband and I shared the same values and beliefs, and that I was in love with him. But when I realized that no matter how much time I spent with him I was always aching for more, that's when I knew he was 'the one'.

When he kissed me I KNEW. I had never felt that way from the other kisses I had gotten over the years from other men. We moved in together a month later, 2 months later he proposed and a month later we were marreid. getting ready for our 3 yr anniversary from our first date. yyayyyya

From that first kiss we have never been apart except when We moved from NV to MT and he had to be here 3 weeks before me to start his job.
interesting. Hmm.

When you know you know

As someone else said earlier in the thread, if you are questioning if someone is the one then they probably aren't.
