You puke in a guy's car and he doesn't even mention it. I love that.<br /> @chopsuey119: OMG hahahahaha.<br /> @Rubies: aw. You gotta love the damsel in distress move. It sure does show you what a guy is made of. :)<br /> @mrs. wagon: I think that when you don't get sick of someone after they've been around a while, that is definitely something romantic. I think we talked about this before but I was always very self-sufficient and figured having him around (living with him) would kill our relationship. It didn't. It was still just as good. Sounds like it was the same for you.<br /> @lilteacherbee: oh, that's so sweet! You fell in love with him in front of the fireworks and then he proposed on the same day 4 years later. I love that!!!<br /> @chopsuey119: That is special. You don't find that very often AT ALL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-105242 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:49:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 105242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: OH MY GOD. That story is insane!!! I love the part about repurchasing the shoes!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-105223 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:34:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 105223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I fell in love extremely fast. I was 19 and home for Christmas break from school in Los Angeles. He was 24 and single, just bought a home and working full time. A mutual friend introduced us while I was there, and we hung out my entire break. I remember thinking that he was soooo sexy, and that nothing would ever come of our hanging out because I never got hot guys! I always went for the more silent, intellectual type. Well, we hit if off instantly!!! After two weeks (the length of my break) of snowboarding, going to his beach house, dinner dates, and meeting each other's families, I went back to school. We talked on the phone for like eight hours one night and we never ran out of anything to talk about. Then, I just knew! I packed up my apartment two days later and moved back into town and transferred colleges so I could be with him. Three years later we got married! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-105001 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 11:08:30 +0000 Nskillet 105001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: OMG SWOON! I'm so glad you were ok but how romantical! You're a lucky lady!</p> <p>It's hard to say when I actually fell in love with DH. I can say that I have never felt closer or more loved by a man my entire life. He's always had a way of making me feel like the only girl that matters. I fully expect that to change when our daughter arrives in the next 6 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104991 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:55:50 +0000 mediagirl 104991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On our second date, we were sitting out on the patio of a bar. A drunk threw an iron chair into the patio. It bounced off the wall and landed on my head. It cracked my head open and as I put my head down, I just saw blood gushing everywhere. I told him to go find my friend C, who was inside the bar at the time. He came back out and held my hand as we waited for the 2 ambulances, 3 fire trucks and 5 police cars to show up. Talk about some force...</p> <p>Anyways, he rode with me to the hospital, understood my drunk speak and asked them to play the siren for me. He carried my purse around the hospital while he was waiting for me and held my bedpan for me since they wouldn't let me up to pee. He stayed by my side until 6am when I was released. Later that weekend, I came home from work and he had a gift for me - he had re-purchased my white shoes that were ruined by the blood.</p> <p>That weekend, he got lucky even with my head pain. :) I got lucky by catching him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104975 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:37:36 +0000 Adira 104975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is cute!</p> <p>I don't really think there was a defining moment of when I knew I was in love with Hubs. We started dating in college our sophomore year and we used to spend ALL of our time together. I just remember FEELING in love, but I don't know why exactly, haha. I waiting until he said it though before I said, hehehehe. Hubs was really my first boyfriend though, so I don't have anything to compare it to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104951 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:16:05 +0000 Andrea 104951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: hehe, yeah i was wondering how his ex feels. haha, oh well!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104950 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:14:25 +0000 oliviaoblivia 104950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yeah, his ex hates me. Nothing untoward happened and I had a bf the whole time, but DH and I became super close as friends....and then one day we were both single. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104933 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 10:00:53 +0000 Andrea 104933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: oh my, so he was pining after you for a whole year?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104923 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:56:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 104923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Yep! It was for him too. I didn't believe in it until it happened to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104912 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:40:12 +0000 Andrea 104912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: aw, it was like love at first sight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104909 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:37:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 104909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us, it was a long, drawn out story. We were friends first so it always teetered between "just friends" and "I must be crazy" to ignoring it completely. </p> <p>The moment I knew (though at the time wouldn't admit it) that I had a crush on him was when we were chatting online about some yearly book sale he was about to attend and I was about to head out somewhere. What I thought would be a 10 minute conversation lasted 2-hours. He had me look at native flowers that grew in Sweden. The flower I liked the most was a Twinflower or a Linnaea, which turned out to be the favorite of Carl Linnaeus, the famous Swedish botanist (which I didn't know was Swedish at the time). Of course, he was happy to point all this out to me. This man has been feeding me Swedish info for years. </p> <p>Back then, it wasn't love ... just a crush. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when I realized I loved him. I was fighting it for so long and when we finally got together, it was like I've always loved him! He was the first one that told me he loved me, and stubborn as I was, I didn't say it back - because I wanted to be super-extra sure! And this is coming from a person that would deny dates because of him (and we were just friends then). </p> <p>When did I know I was in love? I guess I don't really know ... but it must have happened sometime between 2005 and 2008 =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104901 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:28:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 104901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @chopsuey119: You girls are too funny!!</p> <p>I love this thread.</p> <p>I pretty much knew DH was the one the day we met. In fact I complained to my Mom that day about how all the "good guys" have girlfriends.</p> <p>One year later he was single and on our fourth date I told him I loved him, thankfully he said it back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104897 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:27:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 104897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew probably 3 weeks into it, normally I was a very independent person and did not want to be "tied" down to a guy. I was never the one to hangout with someone every day, but with DH I couldn't get enough of our time together and he was the same way. We spent every spare minute we could together and never got sick of each other, he told me he loved me within a month (I took a little longer!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104888 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:20:05 +0000 yoursilverlining 104888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Midway through our first date I knew my husband was “the one” – can’t say exactly how or why I knew, just had this different feeling inside, and I had dated enough (including serious, long term living with others relationships) to know *something* was very different.</p> <p>Still, took us each well over a year to tell the other “I love you”. I don’t think there was one moment where I knew I loved him, it just sort of evolved over time, and got stronger the more I realized that I didn’t feel like I needed him in a selfish or emotionally needy way, but knew how much I absolutely wanted him in my life, forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104878 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:15:21 +0000 Andrea 104878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: haha. can't get anything by you! </p> <p>awww, sharing food is so cute. an image of the lady and the tramp popped into my head...the spaghetti scene. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104869 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:09:04 +0000 tequiero21 104869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: @Andrea: ;D i know! hahahahaha.</p> <p>hubby and i reconnected while i was in korea and man, i still remember how giddy i was, waiting for his call or im or email. we had a great first date when i got back and the next day, we went to church together. i just knew he was the one.... </p> <p>also, i knew he was the one when i wanted to share my food with him lol. also, i didn't get grossed out sharing drinks with him lol. i remember i would get so grossed out when my mom would take my drink and drink it! i still don't like sharing things with anyone but hubby.</p> <p>also, from the beginning, he always put wanting to make me happy first. even though i'm still annoyed at him, love him very much. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104828 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:45:13 +0000 heffalump 104828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it was love at first sight. I saw him and thought, "That's the person I want to marry." </p> <p>But I think I realized he loved me when I had a horrible migraine and his house was closer than mine so I went there to lay down. It just kept getting worse and I asked him to take me to the ER. And I puked in his car on the way there. I was so embarrassed, especially because he is so picky about getting his car messy, but he just sat there rubbing my back and telling me it was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104504 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:07:05 +0000 Andrea 104504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: :-D ya, it's been a long time. lucky we still even like each other. hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104499 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:00:46 +0000 chopsuey 104499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: HAHAHA hopefully no one'll read or know what we're talking about. ;D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104497 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:58:57 +0000 Andrea 104497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: geez, do you need to point that out on another thread so that more people know??? haha.

(And so glad you are OK after the accident)</p> <p>DH knew before I knew, he said I love you and we should get married and have kids. This was when we just met at 18 so I thought he was crazy but he was right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104465 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:44:31 +0000 cupcakemama 104465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew about 2 weeks after our first official date, 4 weeks after we met. I don't know if there was a defining moment. More like I realised that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man and would be quite happy doing so. We just clicked and fit together so well from the start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104426 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:54:21 +0000 Cchoi4 104426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is super sweet, Rubies! </p> <p>I had been dating the Mr. for about 8 months when he finally met my parents. I really liked him at that point and had so much fun with him, but wasn't sure that it was love~ When he met my parents that night, I knew. He got along well with them and it just felt right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104380 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:16:55 +0000 littlebug 104380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I realized I was in love with my husband when I stopped waiting for the other shoe to drop. In all my previous relationships, I always felt like I was waiting for the inevitable end. With hubs, I never felt that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104374 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:10:48 +0000 chopsuey 104374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-know-you-were-in-love#post-104373 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:10:00 +0000 chopsuey 104373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww. I love it! Gave me chills reading how S came to the rescue! &lt;3</p> <p>I knew DH was the one for me 4 days after we started "talking." After our initial emails back and forth we finally talked on the phone. He wanted to pray for me/us before we hung up and I knew he was it! All the guys I had dated and gone on blind dates with never prayed for me or with me. I just wanted a man of faith who truly loves and fears the Lord! Who knew it was SO difficult to find?<br /> Anyway :) our relationship was definitely a Jesus thing. </p>
