How many times have you dated someone and was sure he/she was the right person for you?

This is sad. Okay, when I was 17 I fell in love really hard. He was 18 and after only 3 months ... we ran off and moved into together. We worked really hard, had lots of bills and after 2 years together, we had a baby. Later we got married and it was good. Unfortunately the guy I fell in love with got messed up with drugs and alcohol.

I really loved him and after our divorce, I didn't think I'd find anyone else. After a string of broken relationships, not to mention my broken heart I finally found someone else.

We've been married for 3 yrs. now, together for 5 this July and I love him beyond imagination. It took a long time but it did happen. You know how people say that you'll find love when you least expect it? That's what happened to me, I was almost ready to give up!

I knew the minute he walked in the door. Here is my story:

Love on the net is absolutely attainable and I am living proof. After my divorce a few years ago, I decided to try internet dating. It was a long process and I had the opportunity of learning more about people and myself. I had a TON of experiences that I deem "the good, the bad and the UGLY". I finally got to the point where I was ready to take a break and pull my personal ad when one day I was at home sick and was going through my personal ad responses. I had an "icebreaker", which is something I would not usually respond to. But for some odd reason I clicked on his profile and immediately thought "wow, he's attractive" and I really liked what he had to say. I responded and couldn't stop thinking about this guy. Two days later I was at my computer and an IM popped up. Somehow I knew that it was him. We talked on the phone a couple of days later and talked for hours on the phone each day after. We met five days later. Despite our amazing connection I was really expecting another toad so I dressed in my old jeans and my flannel shirt for our first date. When he showed up he brought me a huge bouquet of daisies (my favorite flower) and he looked just like John Stamos. We have been together ever since, and while we have the challenges of everyday life, we face them together and I know at the end of the day we are there for each other. He is so supportive and believes in everything I do. He has given me the confidence I need to start my own counseling practice and he challenges me to achieve my full potential. One day he said the sweetest thing to me and I will never forget it. He said "I prayed to meet you." I never thought it was possible to love someone this much and this makes me believe in fate. I would say that when dating online you need to use common sense and be safe. If it seems too good to be true, it almost always is. By this I mean that if a guy/gal sends you a GQ/Cosmo quality pic and says he/she has money, etc., take that as a red flag. Be realistic and plan on spending some time and effort in the process, but I do think internet dating can be well worth it.

oh man, every time. I mean, because why would you want to even start a relationship unless you felt there was hope in it.? I have been duped, hornswaggled, heartbroken, and cheated on.. for some reason, I noticed a pattern. I am attracted to all the bad a** boys... all the ones who live on the edge and ride motorcycles. the best relationship I ever had was with a clean cut boy who was an absoulute gentlemen. but , I got bored. he was too perfect.. so thats a sigh.

Yes. I knew that my amazing boyfriend Tony was my soulmate less than a month into our relationship. So, yes. I'm still in the relationship and we love each other very much.

I've dated 2 times and each time i thought he is the one. Am still with my bf but thinking of breaking up

once. and i got married with that person. i had men before but i always knew they weren't the one for me so it was just out of boredom

Only once. And no, I was so wrong it isn't even funny.

Once. and no it was the wrong time. but he was perfect.

once was enough to tell that we connected on various aspects.no , I'm not.

once only & i discontinued
