I am just curious how/when everyone knew that their partner was "the one". I knew it when my now fiance and I were being set up by some mutual friends. We went to the movies and I sat next to him, and he asked me if I wanted any candy in a British accent. Naturally, I answered him in a British accent without missing a beat, and we both just kind of looked at each other. Then, and I know this sounds REALLY out there, I heard something kind of whisper in my ear that he was my future husband. I shook it off for 9 months until I finally relented and we have been inseparable ever since! I would love to hear everyone's stories!
It was the first time we said "I Love You". DF and I both had been in relationships where we were engaged and it was long term and then ended not so well. We were really hesitant to make any sudden moves or go to fast. But it only took us a couple months of dating to say the "L" word. We were at DF's best friends house hanging out with some friends. At one point in the night we ended up in the kitchen hugging and one of us said "You know, your alright" (a little inside joke) and DF just looked me in the eyes and said "You know, we both have been trying to avoid saying it for a while now...." and he whispered "I love you" in my ear and I didn't even have to think twice about saying it back. I just knew that he was the one. :-D

That is so romantical :) The first time we said that we loved each other, he was sick with strep throat. I made him go to the doctor, and I filled his prescriptions for him and made him soup etc etc. Apparently nobody had EVER done that for him before, and he was just amazed that I was doing all of that for him, (even though I never thought twice about it). I was putting him to bed, and he said that he didn't want to freak me out, but that he had fallen in love with me. ::sigh:: There hasn't been a day that goes by since then that we haven't said that to each other. Ok, I am getting sappy....
We met over the internet and had a long distance friendship for three years before we got together. I felt closer to him than to my other friends who lived nearby and considered him my best friend. The thought had occurred to me before that he would have a really great match as my husband in all regards, and I knew he had a crush on me, but I didn't think I liked him romantically so I dismissed the thought from my head. Then one week-end I took the bus down to visit him. I had a really fun time the whole week-end. Then on the bus ride back home, I was shocked to find that two and a half hours had gone by and I was almost back home, when it felt like I'd only been on the bus for five minutes. And I realized I had just spent the past two and a half hours in a dreamy state fantasizing about him without even noticing where my head was at! In that moment, I realized, "Holy cow! I'm in love with him! He's going to be the one!" We dated for a few years afterward before getting engaged just to be on the safe side. But that moment on the bus was the moment that I really knew.
