When did you know she was the one?
Ever fall for someone you'd never thought you would?
I've always been one to never settle plus I have committment phoebia.
So there's this girl. I saw her as "a friend", and she definitely didn't have that "look" I was after. In fact, I mocked her the start (behind her back of course).
Well, after 6 months of dating, she's growing on me. Now I'm not sure I'm if I'm just comforted by knowing I have someone, or if in fact, she's the real deal.
I know it's not really a scientific or precise thing you can put your finger on but how did you realize that your significant other was the one?

i think this is an easier topic to answer for those whose significant other isn't someone in AI or reading AI stuff.
It also didn't hurt when she said I looked like "Steven Spielberg" (I used to have a beard) on the set of the thesis film I was directing in college.
I said, "Who's that girl?"
My A.D. said, "It's the lead actor's girlfriend."
"I'm going to marry that one," I replied. Too bad for the boyfriend. Good for me. We've been together for 11 years and married for 3.

That's probably the first post I've read that caused me to have a visceral "that's really sad" reaction as soon as I read it. Sorry to hear it, man.

Setting your goals a little low, are we?
It's been a battle ever since. Getting together, breaking up....
Found some enduring common ground: our values and our history (storm-tossed as it is). Realized that Time Was Passing. Married in 1994.
The no-holds battle continues. Quarter is neither asked nor given. She doesn't cede an inch to me. Nor do I for her. We attack mundane tasks, lawn care, leaf removal, etc., to our echoing laughter. We'd both kill anyone who threatened the other. We jealously guard our cubs from all threats.
The kids laugh and cheer us on (when they're not jumping us or wrestling us). Life is good.
Damn, but I do damned, damned, damned love her!

I'd hate to have to tell my grandkids THAT story!!
For me, the first time I saw her picture (internet roots). Shallow, I know, but we were intellectually compatible just based on conversation, then I saw that pic. Kablam! 8 years later and still counting.

Needless to say I was unhappy about the move. I was lifted out of 8th grade midway through the year and thrown into the new tiny town with no friends.
I had a history class with her the following year. She asked me about the books I would bring to school and she would quote Dylan lyrics when the class discussion was about Vietnam. Junior year we had two classes together back-to-back.
I fell for her one day when she was wearing a Felix the Cat shirt. I've always found the cartoon boring, but that was the day I knew she was mine, whether she knew it or not.
I was an angry young man (religion) and she was a confused young woman (divorced parents, bi-polar father). She was displeased with the way I savaged her other courters and defiant against my seemingly-invulnerable confidence that she would be mine.
Senior year is when she finally realized what was going on, that we were meant for other things while our silly peers were damned to orbit like unwilling satellites around the East Texas town.
It's been 5 years since our official dating began and we'll be married in October. w00t!

And did you ever sit with her on a blanket in the summer, accusing chestnuts of being lazy, or make outrageous claims like you invented the question mark?
Haha, I'm only kidding Dr.Evil...congratulations!!!!!
Trust me...looks don't last forever. You'll be much happier with someone you find attractive on the inside in the long run, than someone you're penis thinks is hot to start with.
I consider my wife to be my best friend. I love everything about her on the inside, and although I find her attractive and always did. If she had a stroke, gained 220lbs, and had half her face burned off. I'd still love her the same as I do now, because it's not her appearance I love now. It's her mind, heart, and her friendship that make my life complete now.

I agree completely. Although my girlfriend is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, it's not just on the outside. She is amazing, we just sit and talk for hours at a time, and it never ever gets old.
I hate to rain on your parade DawgFather...but I must. If your wife had a stroke, I'm not sure how much you would love her mind anymore...depending on the severity of it.

Well, one day I decided to give lefty a chance. It took at little bit of effort and patience at first, but after a while it proved to be a good decision. We've been happily together for 4 years now.
How appropriate that his member title is: Wankel Wanker.
Way to ruin the thread dude!

"Wankel Wanker" is actually Krautstralian for "The idiot who likes rotary engines." My facilities for intimacy are different entirely. I have too much experience at this point, I'd say, to be smitten with love.
Unless, of course, someone with the body of Anna Kournikova but with a pretty face came up and started telling me how much she liked legos as a kid, for no reason at all.
Yeah, that's a rare breed.
