it's long but we met at work, he made me so happy while i was going through a lot wit my dad and brother and addiction. I also felt such a great strong connection with him and he i could tell was like me in many ways. When things feel with my brother and i, he was there to talk and give suggestions. I left a home that was just sad and verbally abusive from my brother. My boyfriend and i moved in as room mates about two months with me moving around from friends. We had been roommates for about a month and established we were together but taking it slow. We have been together since feb09 and i hope to be together for a while

I wasn't really aware I loved my bf until after I almost accidently said it after a date one night and he was dropping me off at my apartment, it almost slipped out and I went up stairs to my place and when I really got to thinking about it I did love him. Everything was so natural with him, he always made me feel like I didn't have to try. We have our own place together now and when I get out of school looking to buy a house. I love my bf and couldn't imagine a day without him.

Knowing I was in love and knowing he was the one happened at different times, with knowing he was the one happening loooong before knowing I loved him.

I first knew when we first started dating. But I really knew when he left me that he would be back, and that we were going to get married one day. Times are crazy tough for us right now, but we're together, and that's all that matters. Wedding date -- June 9th, 2012!

I feel as though I loved him before I knew him.

He seemed very familiar when I met him and I was instantly attracted to him.

I thought he was attracted to me too but couldn't be sure because I was in so much pain in so many ways and we were both married to others.

My heart pounded every time he was near me. I hope he noticed (pretty sure he did but I kinda wonder sometimes if it was just me being crazy). This mental illness I have does quite a # on me.
We did seem to have a connection but I was hurting so badly that after a while I just became numb.
I would see him on a regular basis as we were collages.
At first I saw him around water cooler about every 3 days or so and then it became only about once a week; you see he was a very busy man. He was a Senior Executive and I was just a secretary.
After that, it became less and less frequent but when we did see each other we were quite flirty and I always thought.....someday he will be mine!
The power of positive thinking doesn't always work- so don't read the book.
Oh my god I'm rambling. I'm really sorry.

I came to the conclusion it was unrequited love and just tried to forget him.

Now, 11 years later, I still get week in the knees when I am daydreaming.

OMG! I felt the exact same! I swear we are like the same person! When I first met him, I felt this strong connection whenever I was with! And I have never felt that feeling til I met him! And it turns out we actually went to the same Elementary school. OMG! Yeah he gives me butterflie too, and I get weak in the knees too!

I was talking to him on Mon (Oct 3rd) I was shaking like a leaf! I was so excited, overjoyed, and nervous because it had been awhie that we last spoke to one another...

I talk to my cousin and she told me that since nothing has happened...So she was like just forget about him...

I couldnt do that b/c EVERYTHING reminded me of him...

There must have been a reason why I couldnt get him off my mind...

When that little white furball licked my nose & wrapped his paws around my neck.....my first eskie dog Excell who I lost 3 years ago.

I could go on with each of my other eskies that I have fallen in love with from the time of their birth or like with Excell, when they gave me that special kiss & wrapped their paws around my neck when watching them play with their litter mates when the breeder was other than myself.

I knew when I saw him at the airport for the first time.

It's been a hard road but I'm glad we're still together!

....he never tried to change a THING about me, and my comfort level with him was/is OFF THE CHARTS! Can really truly be myself with him. Not a couple anymore because of his depression, but he's still my best friend and the person I'm more comfortable with than anyone else on this planet.

Loved me with all my quirks and faults (like we all have).

I love her now.
