I don't know when for sure I fell in total love with my hubby, all I knew is that we had fun together!!! He always made me laugh and we just enjoyed each other! One day HE TOLD me he loved me and I said it right back!!! I just knew!!!

I had other guys say they loved me, but I could never say it back bc I knew it wasn't love!!!! Of course this is before I met my DH!!!!

So I think we just get a feeling and we just know when we are in love!

I think it is when you can't wait to hear from that person. You think about them all day and when you see them you literally get a funny feeling in your stomach. Those are thye first signs of attraction and a new love. A feeling of comfort comes next. Who do you want to share your good news with? Who would you want to be alone with on a desert island? etc etc. I am waiting for the growing old kind of love. I told my fiance after 2 months that I was in love. Couldn't help myself. We have been together for a litte over three years.:)

Some people may be skeptical of my answer but here it is;
The first time I saw my new boyfriend I thought to myself "I'm going to marry that guy". It was very weird cause I wasn't looking for anything and I was half way around the world out of my element. After we formally met a few hours after seeing each other we talked until the sun set for the 3 nights we had with each other. I felt an amazing connection with him and since first meeting him in Greece, we have seen each other twice and he is coming to visit me in a month. I am in love with him, and I thought I knew what love was before, but I was so wrong!! He is so amazing I can't say enough fabulous things about him. We are so in love! :p

I could not imagine living without that person. When we were apart, my heart ached so badly I felt physically sick. Then we broke up for several serious reasons. That was 12 years ago and I still think about him everyday!:(

Shhhhh... you girls want to know a secret? Well... I'm in love for the first time... but I'll never say it first! :wink2: I knew from the first time I met him we would be together, and he obviously did too because he was after me for four months! I kept shutting him down though, because I'm so scared of committing! I have had such bad luck with guys before, I've been cheated on by literally every boyfriend I've ever had. I finally gave in one night and kissed him, and now we can't get enough of each other. I feel amazing whenever he's with me. I know he feels exactly like I do, and if he doesn't give in and say it by Christmas, I might have to let him in on my secret :D

I'm a believer! When I first laid eyes on my Hubby I knew. Before he even opened his mouth! In fact he had been traveling for hours and was asleep in the back of a friends van and I had just woke him up.

That was 20 years ago, and we've lived together ever since! In fact today is our 15th wedding anniversary!:heart: :1luvu: :heart:

I knew it had to be love, because i missed him when we werent together. I never had the "pink cloud" experience like i think most people have? He's not the kind of guy that whispers sweet nothings, and i'm not the kind of girl to do that either, so from the word go, there was no kissy kissy soapy stuff. What you see is what you get, and we are both still the same person.

Here's my story. My husband was a friend of my brothers. My husband is very quiet & shy. I went to visit my brother one weekend & met my husband. I had just gotten out of a relationship & was looking for new dating prospects & he was by far the cutest in the room. So I went over & started a conversation. He acted like I was the only person in the room & I loved that. My brother could tell I liked him so he made me a deal that if I got them tickets to the Purdue/Ohio State game he would bring my crush along (I went to Purdue, my husband & brother went to an Engineering school in Indiana). So I got tickets. Well friday night before the game (Halloween weekend) they showed up, but we went our separate ways (they went to the bars, I went to frat parties (I wasn't 21 yet)). I was on my way home when I saw my brother & husband walking down the street, I pulled over & my husband jumped in my car & my brother told me I could take him home. Little did I know he was very drunk. When we got home we kissed a bit & then he passed out in my bed. The next morning should of been ackward, but it wasn't it was like we had known each other forever. & I knew at that moment I would marry him. I told him I loved him a month later. He wasn't ready to say it back (he'd never said it before), but a couple of weeks later he said it back. I knew it was love because if something good happens or something bad happens he's the first person I tell. I have to tell him. I knew he always had to be in my life because I couldn't imagine what I would do if I didn't have him to talk to. He is my best friend & the only person in the world I can spend everyday with & not kill.

My hubby and I had class together in college. The first day of my freshman year (he was a junior) in college, I walked into my first class and sat down next to the guy that is now my husband. The teacher told us that our seats that we were sitting in would be our assigned seats for the semester. So, my permanent seat for that class was next to my now hubby. I had a boyfriend then, but he was a huge jerk and a pot head. So, after getting to know my hubby in class, I fell head over heals in love with him...I cannot even describe it. I broke up with my boyfriend, asked my husband out on a date to a sorority funtion of mine, and we have been together ever since. I was in love with my husband before we even had our first date! I used to have dreams about our wedding day before we even started dating! :eek: :eek: :eek:

It's probably a good thing he said yes when you finally asked him out.

I can visualize it like it was yesterday....The moment I first laid eyes on my husband and then heard him speak, I fell in love. I am pleased to say that the love still holds, maybe not as intense but there.

I couldn't imagine loving any other man like I do him. :p

I'm with Janet. :( I've been with hubby for 25 yrs but I can't say he's ever made my heart race by just walking into a room. I think I married him because I was comfortable and felt safe and loved by him. After my (abusive) first marriage, that seemed to be enough reason. I care deeply for him, and expect to spend the rest of our lives together, but I know he's not "in love" with me anymore either, which kinda serves me right I suppose.

Just for the record, long ago I was "in love" so I do know the difference.

It is so nice for someone to know how I feel. I did "love" him at one time and I still care for him...I'm just not "in love" with him. It's just so hard to explain, because he really is a very nice person. He's a devoted son to his step-mom and will help anyone if he can. It's just after 32 years of marriage, I just feel I've missed out on so much as a couple.

I will tell you that about 25 years ago, we did separate. I did meet someone and thought I fell in love, but I don't know whether it would have worked or not. Too long a story for details, but it was very nice while it lasted. Anyway, I try to remember if I hadn't stayed with hubby, I wouldn't have my son...and he's my life, he means everything to me.

I just see how some people are as a couple and wish it for myself. My life is nothing, and I mean nothing like what I thought it would be or what I wanted. Seems like such a waste of time. Now it's more than half over....
