What made you fall for your man ...

[WebLady]

Was (or is) there anything particular that made you fall for your FH/DH? Was there one defining moment when you just knew he was the 'one'?

For me, I think that I feel in love with DH because he is gentle, caring, and had a strong faith, was a responsible adult, but still could go out and have fun. He always made me feel comfortable being who I was and never tried to change me, but encouraged me to be who I wanted to be. I loved the long talks we'd have (and still have) He is just so awesome in so many ways :wub:

As for any defining moment ... I think there was a part of me that knew he was special from the start, but I don't really know when exactly I feel for him.

[LizabethDavis]

I can tell I am going to like this thread...

Honestly, (and this may sound cheesy, but oh well)besides making me laugh like there was no tomorrow, it was when my friend literally shoved me in his arms to dance, I loved how I felt in his arms...

[CindySue]

Brian and I got real close, real quick, but it was the 1st time we spent the weekend together than things happened. Waking up next to him was the most wonderful thing and I knew I couldnt be without him. Thankfully he felt the same!

[LaceyinPgh]

Sean's intelligence. He has got to be one of the more intelligent people that I know. I was also impressed by his ability to not project onto other people in a negative, "I'm better than you" kind of way. Plus, he is able to hold his own in a debate against me and that just isn't to do depending on the topic.

[MsJessica07]

The fact that I've learned that he can be relied upon in general, and especially for emotional support.

The fact that we talk and talk and talk...and he puts up with me getting upset about things...

He understands that people fight, but he likes to work with me so that we can try not to...

And in general, he began planning his life with me in mind early on with no complaints...I was always "worth it" to him...

And so much more...

[rainbowtreat]

I would have to say that it was the way he liked me for me. He loved who I was and I didn't have to pretend to be something I wasn't. And the part where he could not wiat to talk to me. He would call me from work and call me when he got home even though I was asleep to say hi and let me know he was home. ( I wanted him to call me ) And he would stay on the phone with me untill I fell asleep again. This was when we lived 13 hours apart.

[AngelinLove]

The fact that he was intelligent, ambitious, educated, sweet and romantic all wrapped up in an attractive package is what caught me....but the feeling of security and completeness that I felt right from the beginning is what made me stay. I swear, for the first three months of our relationship I didn't stop smiling al all!!!

[Deidre98]

I don't know if there is just one thing I can pinpoint what made me fall in love with my FH. But, his personality drew me to him and the more I got to know him, the easier it was being with him and harder it was to leave him. Now, I can't imagine my life without him and there is nobody else in the world that I can tell ANYTHING to. I am so lucky to be marrying my best friend.

[katieandalex]

For me, there wasn't one particular thing or one particular moment. Pretty much right from the start, I just felt so comfortable with him and everything just felt so right.

[Amber818]

I fell in love with Jason because he is such a good man. He will take care of me and do things for me that I never thought anyone would do. He is always there for me to pick me up when I am down. I know we have something special. My friends tell me they can't believe how cutesy we still are after being together for as long as we have....always holding hands, kissing, and touching. I love being with him and I just truly love him from the bottom of my soul.

Plus, he balances out my craziness which I never thought anyone could do....and he is sooo nice to my mom....which is so important to me!!

I never thought that was possible either, Amber. LOL!!:bblol:

[cowboysbride]

Eric had me from hello (sorry for the cheesy movie line but it's the truth). The moment I saw him I knew that he was the man of my dreams, his eyes, his manners his whole being exudes genuine love. He is what we explain down here in the "south" as being "raised right" and that means a lot to a woman who wants a kind, loving, honest man that works hard, plays harder and loves her with everything he has!

A picture is worth a thousand words....http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g287/cowboysbride/prekiss.jpg

[hummingbird521]

From the moment jerry and I started talking I just knew he was it. He could make me laugh and smile and even blush (which was a huge accomplishment) for me. I would have to say the one defining moment was when after dating only a couple of weeks my grandmother passed away and needless to say I was very upset. But he listened to me, gave me a shoulder to cry on and never once acted like this was a burden to him. In fact he pushed me to go and see her before her death. Being as our relationship was no new at the time it would have been easy for him to have moved on. I had asked god in prayers on night to bring me a man who was sweet, loving, pure of heart, who had no temper to amount to anything and who loved kids. God granted my wish and still continues to do so each and everyday.

[SerendipityCrafts]

Another cheesy sounding one ..... he had me from hello

Hugh was living over 16 hours away. We reconnected via the internet and after a few emails and some chatting on messenger, I told him that I would call him to make life simpler. He answered the phone and that was it ....

He has such an amazing gentle & deep voice. I also love to put my head on his chest and listen to him sing (baritone).

I love calling him at work just to listen to his voice mail message LOL

Dang! You took my words! no fair LOL ...... BTW - your platter is in the back of my car and I am dropping it into the Post office tonight.

LOL! I understand that one!

I call Eric at work and tell him to call me and leave me a VM on my cell phone then I save it and play it over and over, ugh I am so enamored with that man!

[CindySue]

Brian had left me a VM on my cell early in our relationship and i would listen to it over and over. It wasnt anything more than "Hey Baby, its me. Gimme a call when you get this", but the sound of his voice was oh............ok...calling husband now!!!!!!!:bbredface:

[SerendipityCrafts]

My friends tell me they can't believe how cutesy we still are after being together for as long as we have...

We can relate to this one but because of our age, most people think that we are already married. One newly engaged clerk at a grocery store told us that she hopes she will be as happy and have the kind of marriage that Hugh and I appear to have. LOL

[cowboysbride]

Dang! You took my words! no fair LOL ...... BTW - your platter is in the back of my car and I am dropping it into the Post office tonight.


YIPPIE my plate is coming my plate is coming!

All I can say is great minds think alike!:bblol:

[SerendipityCrafts]

but the sound of his voice was oh............ok...calling husband now!!!!!!!:bbredface:

OMG - too funny. I just called Hugh as well.

[CindySue]

OMG - too funny. I just called Hugh as well.
I even told Brian why I was calling! He called me a sap!

[cowboysbride]

I even told Brian why I was calling! He called me a sap!

Eric was on the tractor bushogging and laughed, and told me he'd call me back shortly!:bbredface:

[cowboysbride]

I left work yesterday early due to a migraine and Eric was at the house unloading more of his stuff...I felt better INSTANTLY! For once I was HAPPY he was on 2nd shift!

[CindySue]

I will do that too and Brian accuses me of faking it so I could get out of work........

[shiara222]

OK so this is going to make me sound bad but when I saw him on a date with his girlfriend, I said to myself I want that. He looked strong and sincere, like a good man, not a bad boy.

He was out to dinner with her at the restaurant that I waited tables at and another waitress quickly pointed out that he was with his girlfriend. Disappointed, I wished I'd had a chance before her...3 months later at a local bar I saw him. A friend introduced us and turns out he and his EX were now broken up....and the rest is history.

Wow!! Did you luck out or what? Congratulations & welcome to Onewed if I haven't said that before!!!

I don't think that sounds bad at all...it obviously wasn't meant to be (him and her) and you obviously are! You go girl...If I had to have hogtied Eric and threw him in the truck I would have! LOL!

[Jenn060306]

Mark's sence of humor is a big thing for me. He always has a witty comment or some awsome sarcasim to make me laugh. I also love how he hugs me. I just feel really safe and loved when he's holding onto me.
I don't know that one thing in particular really did it for me. I just knew i loved him when i did.

[SerendipityCrafts]

I even told Brian why I was calling! He called me a sap!

Hugh thought I was calling to find out what happened at his lunch meeting with his boss. He's all concerned about it but truth be told, I don't even remember him telling me that he was having a meeting.

It's nothing to worry about I am sure - his boss called the meeting about a month ago and had to reschedule twice now.

[ikkin510]

I fell for my FH because he was just so sweet! I only knew 1 person in the group of people I was hanging out with, in a new town. He was very friendly, honest and helped me to loosen up and have some more fun! He then offered to take me around the area so I didn't get lost next time I came to visit

[asm198]

The reason I wanted to date him was when I ran into him one night, flirted shamelessly, and he blew me off! He was a challenged and I like a challenge. I found out later that he knew that I was flirting, but was getting a kick out of seeing me get frustrated.

I knew I was in trouble big time three months after we started dating. I had an incident and ended up in the hospital. My family called him and he sat by my bed until I was released. I was just waking up and we exchanged a look and that was that!

[sarahomalley]

I had just gotten out of a very abusive relationship. I knew Adam before I had started seeing this other guy. But it ended finally and there was Adam, ready to pick up the pieces. I was reluctant to jump right in so we took it slow. I loved spending all my time with him and one day I went to the farm with him to do chores and there was something in the way he interacted with his cattle and watching him climb over gates that just made me melt. After while I told him I loved him. He didn't say it right away, but when he did it was a wonderful feeling. It's been mostly magic ever since. Other than our issues with his family and my emotional outbursts, everything is wonderful I know he'll take care of me forever. We'll take care of eachother forever.

[countrygirl]

I think I fell for Josh the first night that we met. We met earlier in the day through my sister, and went out that night w my sister and brother in law. He was a bit shy, and nervous at first, but kissed me that night, and can I say yummy. He gave me so many butterflies, and still does. I love him so much.

[KristyGirl]

He got my jokes. No one else ever does, so when he did, I knew there was something special about him.

[Shawna Bride]

I do in fact have a defining moment. Let me give you some history first:
I'm not sure if you all know, but my DH and I have known each other since grade four. We were in the same group of friends from grade four until grade eight. Once we hit highschool we ran in completely different crowds. I was more, how shall we say, academic. I was a good student, active in the drama department and so on. My DH was more of a party animal. Never in class, drinking and just going crazy. Needless to say I hated him. Totally hated him. Thought he was cute, but HATED HIM!! LOL
So, years after highschool we bumped in to each other in university. I didn't want to give him the time of day, but we chatted for a moment and that's it. The next day I got a call from a friend of mine who is friends with a friend of Ryan's (my DH in case you didn't know). He saw me and apparently was dying to ask me out for years and years. So, I don't know why but I said it was okay to give him my number.
He called me, and we made a plan to get together one night. We ended up back at his place the night of the date, and talked the entire night! It was 6am, and he said that I could just crash there instead of going home and waking my parents. (He lived alone). I was hesitant. I mean, he was Mr. Popular in highschool. Got all the pretty girls in highschool, did I trust him?
He promised he wouldn't touch me (He actually said that). And true to his word he didn't. No, that wasn't the time I fell in love with him, but it was when I realized that I was dealing with a guy that was something special.
About a month or so later, things were going well and he said he wanted me to meet his parents. They lived about an hour away and he took me up to visit them. When I watched the way he inteacted with his Mom, I instinctively knew that I was in love with him. Any Man that treats his mother with so much love, compassion and kindness, will treat me like that one day when we are older.

So, that's my long story as to when I fell in love with Ryan.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I can't actually say why I fell for Matthew because there are sooo many reasons!! I had actually told him one date into everything that I just wanted to be friends but there was something there that I couldn't resist and after a week of not talking to him, I took the plunge and called and asked him to hang out. The first couple times was as friends but before we knew it we were much more then friends. It's kind of funny because at one point Matthew asked me what we had because he wasn't sure. I laughed and told him I didn't do half the stuff that I was doing with him with just a friend. that's when he said, Ok so then you're my girlfriend?? lol. It was too cute because he was so confused by things!! lol.

I could list all the things I love about him and all the things that helped me to know he was the one, but we'd be here so long. I just want to say that I am one lucky girl for roping this one!! ;)

[BriansBride07]

His personality, and the way he really listened when I talked and the look in his eyes when he looked at me. I just knew i have to be with this man.
