How Do You Know...

With all the talk on here about promise rings and brides-to-be, it got me thinking...

How do you know when it's the right guy, and it's love, and that you want to spend the rest of your life with them?

When I can't think of why I love him and I just do

I think you're going to end up divorced with 3 babies and some sort of a pet bird.

Good question.

Don't ask me...I've failed at my past relationships. But I will tell you this much. You know he's a good guy when the Pro list starts outweighing the Con list

OH! And when your family/parents like him...really, really like him!

Don't ask me....never been in TRUE love!!

Don't ask me, either...no one in my family gets it right, so I doubt I will either! Let's see...everyone's been married at least twice, and my grandmother's on her fourth husband, so...the odds don't look so hot!

i always wondered about that question. i hate the anwser, 'you just know'

i thing that when you sacrifice your happiness for theirs, that is true love. but you dont look at it as sacrificing, you just love them so much that you want them to be happy. when they go through the crap of life, you unselfishly go through it with them, because you dont want them to be alone.

just my opinion

Our director of Greek Life once told me at a retreat "When you know, you know" (he had been talking about how he married his wife after only knowing her for three months). I thought it was all a bunch of b.s. until I met my now fiance--- and it's true--- when you know, you know.

when your relationship doesn't feel like work - it is still as much as fun as day one

he sits by the toilet with a wet washcloth on a Saturday night with you when your hurling because of a migraine

he goes with you to an Oral Surgeon appt to get your bridge worked because you are scared to go alone - and then doesn't make any toothless jokes

your head fits in that little cubby under his neck on his shoulder

even after years of waking up to each other, he still kisses you on the forehead when he thinks you are still asleep and whispers "I love you" before he heads out to work

hmm....I'll think of some more here soon

I agree with people on the "when you know, you know" theory... there's just one problem - sometimes you think you know, and you turn out to be wrong.

You hear so many stories of couples who thought they were going to be together forever... and then it ends. It's sad...

Anyway, I have a new boy... hopefully it's going somewhere good!
