When DH and I first met we didn't really hit it off. But the more we saw each other, the more we got along. Then he kind of started dating a friend of mine and one night my friend was telling me how nice he was but that he totally wasn't her type and she thought he was more my type. So she basically told him to ask me out and that was it for me. That was a year or so after we'd first met. He was so sweet when he picked me up for our date. I knew within about a week of that first date that he was the one for me. [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

I knew after the first week of dating that I would marry him. Funny thing is, just this weekend, DH admitted that it was love at first sight on his end. He said that is why he proposed after just 6 weeks, he didn't want to lose me [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] !

DH and I went to the same JR High and did not like each other one bit. At the end of my freshman year of high school he moved into my town and we were friends for a little while, then started dating. We had a couple of little (short breakups) periods of time where we were apart, but I guess I knew he was the one after I graduated from college and I saw my life out in front of me and I couldn't picture it without him. We were together about 11 years before we got married!

Jason and I had been talking on the phone and online for a while (we'd met through a mutual friend that he grew up with and who was in my sorority), but we didn't have our first date until about a month later...in fact, we'd never met face to face until that night!

We'd planned to drive two hours to my hometown to go to the big high school game (Texas vs. Arkansas), but about 10 miles into our trip, we had a complication...in that HE CAN'T DRIVE!!! That or he was so overwhelmed by my charm and beauty that he just lost all sense of anything...

Well, I'd mentioned that I'd meant to get some Gatorade before he came b/c I'd been in majorette practice all afternoon. So, at Gurdon, Arkansas, exit 63, he says "You want to stop and get some Gatorade?" "Sure." So, he whips across the other lane of traffic and tries to take the exit, not realizing that it's one of those U-turn exits. He can't turn and he can't stop. We plow through the sign that should have told him that he needed to slow down for a turn, then go down into one ditch, over the access road, into another ditch and onto another road, stopping right before we hit the trees. As soon as the truck stopped, I thought "I'm going to marry him." Why in the world that popped into my head is beyond me.

Two weeks later we broke up b/c he wouldn't toughen up with his psycho ex-gal. Two months after that, we got back together (after he changed his number, locks and church), and a month after THAT, we were engaged. Sigh. [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

I love the "shouldn't we go on a date first" story of Amy's and CHERYL...my husband does that too! If I'm crying, he wipes the tears from my face and puts them on his!

These stories are wonderful!! I especially love the "shouldn't we go on a first date?" story. Classic!

As for myself, after dating many a man, I'm pretty sure I've got the one now. I knew when he turned to me one day and said, "how did I get so lucky to have you in my life?" No man has ever said that to me--not ever! I was totally smitten by him! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] Also, I always worry that my boyfriends are going to loose their hair, and that I won't love them anymore for some reason. My DB is already bald (sort of an Andre Aggassi look). Problem solved! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

My DH and I met young (13), but for him he knew he would marry me some day. It took me more convincing really, but I thought he was the sweetest and a gentleman. We lived 2 states apart and had met during the summer, so to keep in touch we wrote back and forth. He'd write poems and send sweet gifts.( [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] those stopped sometime after we married [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] ). Anyhow, he won me over only to dump me a year later for a older girl( He had just started driving, you know guys). After that he enlisted in the Army, we still wrote back and forth. Eventually we realized that what we had was special and didn't want to lose it. After numerous 8hr drives to Fort Bragg and the Gulf War we got engaged. He's still that amazing, sweet guy who makes my heart flutter when I see him enter a room.

I'm another fairly right away person. I didn't really know when we first met, but then Bryan started coming over for dinners. (We were in college and were too cheap to eat out... And weren't exactly dating at that point.) I knew there was something special about him when I looked forward to Thursdays so much... Then expanded it to Tuesdays too... Then Wednesdays... Then Fridays... Until we were seeing each other every single day! We started officially dating in early November and when I was home for Thanksgiving, I told my parents I was going to marry him. 2 years and seven months later, I did!
