Tell us about your relationship - When did you realize they were The One?

When I saw how he was with his niece, it was the sweetest thing.

I just knew, I don't think there was a moment it just clicked.

I am not 100% sure about this one, I first met him about 3 years before we started dating. I wasn't a fan of him so didn't keep in touch. So fast forward 3 years and he had to win me over. After about 8 months I knew I loved him, he also left for 4 months on deployment around the same time. When he came back and I couldn't get him out of my mind the whole time I knew we were meant to be.

When I said I love you, 3 months in. I told my step sister I couldn't imagine my life without him anymore, that he was the one.

He took a lot longer to figure that out... but his parents told him I was the one around that time too haha.

I knew 6 months into it tbh.

Literally on the first date. We were/still are crazy about each other, share the same values, love the same things, enjoy talking for hours on end. Honestly I couldn't ask for a better partner in crime!

I think I realized that he was the one when we were dating other people but still good friends a d his girlfriend at the time demanded he stop being friends with me. He didn't like that and clearly told her he wouldn't sacrifice our friendship for her. They broke up and he and I got back together a month or two later.

It just happened. After we had been together for 2+ years I knew. We were 9 yrs apart and still had many things in common, even with our age difference he's patient in teaching me things I didn't know about and even now things I don't know about he is still patient. He taught me how to drive and helped tutor me in school for some of the courses. Took the same course in post secondary, so there was a wine course I had to take and I didn't know anything about wine before the course so it helped he knew (Irish Family) so he helped me.

I personally thought it wouldn't last 6 months because of our age difference I thought we would share no common interests but it was the opposite.

It just kind of happened.. We really just clicked after hanging out for a while. It's really hard to explain.

Same! I was always "yeah right" when people would say "when you know you know." But, I knew with my fiance!

After our very first date. We went to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch and ended up talking for three hours straight. We've been inseparable since

He was the one from the first coffee date. I new their was something their. And everyone around us new it but we didn’t want to admit it right away.

When his 8 week old kitten decided that I was her person the first time I set foot into his place (our 3rd date) lol. Knowing he was a cat lover, I knew I could get used to being with him and our fur babies for the long haul.

Pretty early on. I don’t know if there’s any one moment but we were never casual about our relationship and I knew that he was the one for me within a few months of dating for sure. I never really understood when people would say “when you know, you know” about their partners but I get it know!

I think was when I was going through a dark time in my life. We would sit and talk on the phone for hours. About nothing. And everything. I’m not sure I know if there was an exact moment when I felt like he was the one. If there was, I honestly don’t remember it. But I know he will always be there for me.

It was during our long-distance bit for sure.

We both had insecurities going in that sort of relationship, but we were very open with each other. We talked a lot, we made exciting plans for when we'd see each other during that year. I had one big meltdown near the end of my undergrad and was just ready to quit everything (including our relationship). He was so understanding and reassuring.

After that, I remember thinking if we can work through THAT, we can work through anything together.

He loaned me a DVD and when I took it home i opened it to watch it and there was a little tiny scrap of paper in it that just said 'I miss you '.

We had only been dating like... 4 months.. but I think that's the moment that I was like.. you're it.

Honestly after my first date i said, well there goes my dating app cuz i am done lol

Cheese alert... but right away. I knew he would be my person.

I knew the first date I wanted to marry him. There wasn't a specific reason, it was just a feeling. I knew I loved him after we were talking about meeting his friends for the first time. He knew I was anxious when meeting new people and being in groups and just made me comfortable about the whole situation. At the end of that convo, it was so hard for me not to say I love you (but I didn't--didn't want the first time to be over the phone!)

I started to think it early on, but I think I realized it around the time I moved in. I was never at my own place and when I saw it didn't feel right. I knew that with him at his place was where I was happiest and when I moved in it all come together. It was perfect for me.

I don't know the exact moment or time but it was within the first year of us dating for sure. It was so different with him! He was always the first one I wanted to call with news and I wanted to be around him all the time.

I think it was after our first kiss, he was so different in the most amazing way. I instantly felt like we had been dating for years
