I didn't know immediately that DH was the one.  I met him through a mutual friend but was still getting over a break up.  I thought he was cute but that was it.  I met DH a year later and was really interested in getting to know him better.  That was almost 9 years ago!

You cannot trust the sexual attraction because that can happen to people that you have the right chemestry with but is a good start. However, I think this is the culprit that make people feel like they are in love these days. Ya gotta get to know the person, do they have the same goals as you. You have to be compatible and have things in common. Let things cool off a bit and then see how ya really feel.

I'm all about feeling the attraction, otherwise there would be no need for a second date, but I like to get to know someone.  My ex was gorgeous and as I got to know him and looking back now, we weren't very compatible at all.  I was attracted to his looks and that's about it.  With my fiance now, I knew I liked him on our first date but it wasn't really until the second date that I got to see more of his personality coming out and realized that he was a funny person and it attracted me to him even more.  The more time we spent with one another, the more I liked him, until one day I said, this is the man I'm going to marry and have children with.

Maybe is is like my ole Grany used to say
Love is like a Lizard, It creeps down your throat, and sticks to your Gizzard,

I wish i could say something more glamorus, but when i met my man i was 17, and when i was around him i had a gard time swallowing, and my stomach felt funny odd bit no glamor think i mispelled glamor   luck  jo

[Judy246]

Thank you all for your responses and Jo...you are too funny with the sticks to your gizzard (lol).

I didn't know my husband was the "One" but he insists that he knew right away about me. I don't really believe in love at first sight, or at least I have never experienced it (lust yes, love no..LOL!). At the time I met my husband, I was really stand offish and wasn't looking for a relationship. I wouldn't have sex with him either..LOL! Not that he didn't try! =)

After only 6 weeks of dating, he proposed and we married 4 months later and have been together ever since 6 yrs later. I'm so glad I let my wall down for him. It was the first time letting my guard down ever paid off!

[Judy246]

You know, your right...when you first meet and have that physical atttraction, it rapidly becomes LUST...it's great!!! (lol), but it fades fast and reality sets in, but in the beginning stages...it's hot (lol).

[iam1butterfly]

First impressions are usually based on what one sees... then, on what one hears from
the person of interest. All in all, it just makes more sense to know a person better before deciding if someone is really your type.

[Judy246]

Absolutely and I do want to thank everyone who participated. It's just interesting to see how different people are and respond when the first saw or met that special someone. Thanks again...Judy

I actually couldn't stand my hubby when I first met him. I thought he was hot yes, but I also thought he was very annoying. I hardly spoke to him for two years after we met, he kept coming up to me and talking and I'd try to get away as fast as I could without being rude lol I guess after time he wore away at me, then after awhile I just decided what the heck I'll talk to the guy, and what do ya know we've been together for 6 years and have been married for 3 lol I did have the hots for him though, maybe that's why i thought he was so annoying at the time haha

[Judy246]

Thanks again for  your responses. I like to think that someone who is experiencing these issues, will read our advise and think about a decision...Judy

[gokuangel]

I think i did know right away when i met my DH that he was "the one" I was so attracted to him couldnt keep my hands off him he was cute and he made me laugh! I do know what you guys say about chemistry but for me i had never ever had that WOW factor with a guy,yeah i was attracted to men but not wow i really really like this guy so i knew with my DH but i did vote for get to know cus i had just gone through a bad breakup right b4 meeting him and i had to get to know him see what else was there besides the chemistry!! Now we been together over 4yrs and married for 2 of them!!

[Judy246]

Thank you for your response and sharing your story.

With each serious relationship I have ever been in I knew as soon as I met that person that they were the one to be in my life at that moment in time.

[Judy246]

With my current relationship, when I first layed eyes on him, I thought he was soooo handsome, but it took a while for us to get to know each other, but I knew instinctively that he was the one.

[alicat007]

Isn't that a wonderful feeling when the whole world seems to open up and you see clearly for the first time as you look into that persons eyes and you "just know" thats the person you will love and be with for as long as God will allow.

[Judy246]

Isn't wonderful when you feel fortunate and blessed that you can actually feel in your heart that this person is the one, you dont' have to search anymore, he loves you just as you are and you feel that inner peace that you were searching for. Amen.

[BearHitch]

I put other because when I met my husband it took awhile for me to get that feeling that he was who I wanted to marry but he knew the moment he met me that he wanted to be with me forever... which I think is cool  :)  I'd prefer it that way because I know he was smitten and really wanted to be with me, not that I wouldn't otherwise I just like that and the story of how we met is really much better and more romantic when he tells it.

well   at frist  iw as sure  about my hubby the way we met  is i think one of the funniest  stories.  I  had been talking to this  guy on the net  since i was in  college. WE never though about me  meeting  we just chatted  everyday  about things that went on  and what was happening he  would ask me how my  kids were  doing ( my oldest two)  and such both of us  were  always in  realtionahip ( iwas engageg and he was married at the time)  so we stayed strictly friends. WEll one day my grandfather ( yeah i know silly huh)   was talking to me  u know there is this  really nice guy   i work with  i think would be  great for you he has  good job and loves  kids  and  so  on   He give me the guys  phone number  and said he had given the  guy my phone number and told him to call . I was like great  set up on  blind date by  grandfather  how  uncool  am i. WEll  i  didnt think  anything of it. I was at work one  weekend  and chatting with my friend online and he was telling me that  someon e he works was trying to set him  up on a blinddate even  gave me her  number. I  joke and  luahged  telling him that i had a faimly  memeber that was trying to  do the same thing.  I  told him  he  just  give her a  call and see what  happens.  WEl finished  chatting and about  a  hour later my cell phone  rang.  NOt thinkin anything of it  i answered and it was  guy  my grandfather  told me  about  i agreed to  go  for dinner the next  night.  Well now  my  internet  friend  and i have seen each others pics  so we knew what the other one looked  like
well i go to the     place and i walked in and  i was told he would be waiting for me at the  bar   well he was  the only  guy at the  bar i walked up to him and almost  fell down  when  he turned around  there was the  same guy  i had been  talking to on and  off for th past three years. Well we  have been together  ever since and that  was two years ago  got married   in  oct  of 08 and  had a little girl  on feb 11,2009.\
            I knew is was meant to be   when  one day  i walked in and he was sitting there playing on the floor  with  my oldest daughter and my  son   and i was like  the pieces just fit  everything  fell right where they  needed to be  and i couldnt  picture my life any differenr

i was 6 or 7 when i met my hubby so he was really gross and had cooties. as we grew up he was still gross and still had cooties. we lost touch with each other for a few years and i started dating a mutual friend of ours. things were great with this guy...or so i thought. greg found out he was cheating on me and told me (they were stationed together in japan....the guy had been frequenting a few of the "massage" parlors and was sleeping around with some of the female marines). i confronted other guy and he denied it at first but eventually came clean. so greg and i started to talk and were friends again. (he wasn't so gross and didn't have cooties anymore...he must have finally gotten his cootie shot...) after talking for about 3-4 months we made it "official". he was still stationed in japan and not due to come home for over a year so we didn't want things to be serious. well since we'd known each other forever we just clicked. he actually got into a fight with the ex because ex wouldn't quit running his mouth about me. kind of romantic. i think i kind of just knew when we started dating we'd be together forever.....right now we've been married for 1 year and 3 months.

[Judy246]

Thanks for sharing and I laughted when you wrote that he got into a fight with your ex and how romantic.
