We started dating and all of a sudden I started thinking about marriage and babies (which in my rock and roll life style had never even crossed my mind before). That is how I knew. He was the only person I had ever dated that I saw an actual future with. For him I think it was the big boobs. Just saying.

All they heard was I was changing my plans for some guy who was 12 years older. Once they met him they came around as quickly as I did. In fact, the first time I brought him home for a weekend, my dad said Brad was the one. Pretty big coming from my dad! Oh yeah, my parents were both slow to come around.

I remember going to lunch with you and your mom, Megan, and you were telling me about your "friend" Brad that you really liked a lot. Your mom was not quite so crazy about the idea though and she kept telling you not to talk about him anymore. I'm glad she came around! I could tell you really liked him, so I wasn't surprised when you ended up together.

Men are different. Dani, I like your input. Interesting to hear from someone who found the one and it didn't work out. And just to clarify, this is just me musing. Nearly all of my friends are married now and I was just wondering if everyone had that gut feeling I had. B and I are seriously, ridiculously happy. I am not hinting at anything. Yes B, boys are dumb. Men are different.

He started dating my housemate. They broke up at the end of that semester (not my doing!) and we started being friends early the next semester. Within a couple of weeks we were dating and about a month after that we had our wedding date set. We married three years later, had a baby two years after that and lived happily ever after! OK, we've only been married for 2.5 years but we knew from the beginnig that we were meant for each other. Marriage is hard sometimes but we both love each other enough to make it work and to keep us happy! :) I met my husband my first semester of my freshman year in high school.

I knew that my husband was "the one" pretty quickly because when I was with him I felt I was home. I guess I just wasn't "the one" for him because it ended in divorce 7 years later. Megan you had that twitter-pated look from the moment you first saw B..........I remember!!!!!!! Sometimes “the one” is the right one for the moment but not for always.

And when we started seriously dating I was a junior in high school. And when you are that young it is hard to know what is true and what is just hormones. Whenever I moved away to college and was driving home every weekend to be with him I realized that this was it, I was with the man I wanted to marry. Though I must say that a lot of it has to be a conscious decision that you really are going to work at the relationship and keep it number one. Because you can have a connection with someone but if one of you isn't willing to commit then it's not going to work.

I'm not sure how you know when you've found the one, but it just feels right, like you can be yourself without any of the masks you may put on for others. After ten years, I still feel confident that Mike is the one.
