If you know, you know.
Knowing you found “the one” in the intense dating world?
How lucky can you get!!!
“We had only been dating for three months, so there was still some awkwardness here and there.
I don’t really remember walking there, but instead of my apartment, I ended up at hers.
She opened the door to her new boyfriend, half-ugly-sobbing.
Instead of being weirded out, she listened and cried with me for a couple of hours.
The friend who died was the one who had encouraged me for six months to ask my now-wife out.
My friend never knew the impact she had.
My wife and I have been married for 15 years now.”

I’d sleep all night and then take a four-hour nap during the day.
This happened most days unless I was working.

A friend and I said sure, we’ll walk with you.
I saw her wobble, grabbed onto her, and then she sagged into my arms.
It was only for a few seconds, but she was out of it.
She opened her eyes, looked at me, and BLAM!
Fireworks, butterflies everything all at once.”
He saw me there holding his daughter and gave me a ‘stern look’ until she explained what happened.
We went on a date a few weeks later, which was the first date of 19 years."

“It was the first night I met her.
She just stood out so much compared to all of the other girls on the dance floor.
I thought, ‘Yep…she’s the one for me.’
We’ve been together 18 years this year, 11 married, and have a teenage daughter now.”

“My last relationship was really traumatizing, and I was not interested in dating anyone at all.
But I knew he was husband material when he escorted me home after that first date.
I was very tired, and he didnt want me to fall asleep on the subway.
He knew I lived with my mom and that he wouldnt be coming in before he even offered.
The best decision I ever made was to go out with him.
Hes my best friend, makes me laugh constantly, and I still find him wildly attractive.”

“We had hung out with another friend a couple of times.
We’re still together 35 years later, and married for 30.”

“When I yelled out, ‘Hey!
You wanna go get some fried chicken and catch a flick?’
from across the room at a college party.
She instantly started walking towards me and yelled out, ‘Fuck yeah!’
We’ve been together for 28 years and married for 24.”

“I always felt this way when I began loving her for what she wasn’t.
I fell in love with her faults and realized that we balanced each other.
She loved me for me, and I’d never had that before.”

“I had some deep-rooted trauma and ‘friend-zoned’ him for 10 years, and he waited for me.
I initiated our dating, but I was very traumatized, so our sex life was pretty much nonexistent.
He would just sit there with me and let me be.
He made me feel safe, and that’s when I knew he was the one.”

“I always felt safe with him.
It was a shitty situation to be in.
No judgment, no adding to the stress just there to comfort and support me.”

“Sundays were my favorite day of the week with her.
Friday and Saturday nights are easy.
But you have a keeper if you could consistently spend a good Sunday with someone.”

I figured he’d be grossed out, but instead, he understood.
He said it was up to me, but we could still hang out and watch dumb TV.
He came over and it was so nice.
He brought me ice cream and weed I was so excited.
Then, later, he said, ‘Do you want me to go down on you?
I heard that helps with cramps?’
He didn’t ask me to reciprocate what a freaking mensch!
That’s when I knew as I orgasmed lolol)."

“When we first started dating there was a year or so when we lived a few hours apart.
It was really hard to leave.
One time, it was early morning, and I had already said goodbye.
It was cold, and it was so silly.
I couldnt stop laughing, but I also had major butterflies.
He wanted to give me one more kiss goodbye.
A fool in love, and thats never changed.”
“Weve been together almost 12 years now, and married for seven.
He makes me feel like I can do anything, and that I’m beautiful.
I know hes got my back.

“On our third date, I drove her home after a wonderful time.
She never panicked she just offered suggestions and remained calm.
We’ve been together for 10 years and married for six.”

“I’m somewhat of a weirdo simple things in life bring me joy.
When I’m hungry, I sometimes dance in the kitchen when I cook.
Is it loud, offbeat, and in the wrong pitch?
I shall not confirm or deny this, but perhaps sometimes.
u/ThAtGuY-101
17.And finally, “She never weaponizes my feelings against me like my ex did.
In doing so, she made herself the one person in the world I could trust completely.
To this day, almost 18 years after we first met, she’s never once violated my trust.
I’m old enough to know how unusual and special that is.”
