I knew when I saw this guy one day at work that me and him was going to be together after we had talked for a while we found out we had alot of things in common we have not had a easy relationship we fought split up for a short period it was never a violent relationship just verbal but what I did realize is he is the perfect one for me he helps me out when I need it and is there to listen me as well as I am there for him and I also knew it in my heart that it was just right as so far we have been together for 14 years and looking forward to alot more years together.

That was a great and inspiring story you have right there. Love is something that can be felt right? and i think if the person is there right person for you then you can feel it. Some people can`t feel it though especially when they rush things and they are blinded by the temporary love. I believe that people come and go. I believe in love, but i also believe that you can love the wrong person. Like you love each other now, but it can be changed by the situations and happenings in life. But when that person is really for you, you can feel that there is nothing wrong and anything can change but the feelings remain as if it is only the first time

My love story is cute. I had just mended from heartbreak. I had said I wanted to love again. and then this nice guy comes along. Did I know he was in love with me? No! i thought we were just friends. as the time went by , we got closer and closer. I found that I could tell him Anything! Then I started having these weird dreams where my ex turned into someone else. But who? You know who! But I didn't for about a couple of weeks. I Finally fell for the perfect guy who was Right in front of me! I think since he was patient and that we were best friends Before falling in love helps. The funny part is before I met my guy , I would always tell people just to go out and do what you love to do and look around, you perfect match may be there. It took me about 4 months to take my own advice!

People say you just feel it. People say you just know if you are made for each other. I think qhen you are really made for each other you will know through time. If you feel your relationship is going through a good time and can surpass the bad times. Perhaps only time will tell if you are made for each other. I have been qronged once before.... I thought this person was made for me but God probably did not think so. And so i discovered that he was fooling around with another woman. I mean my heart was shattered. I thought i could no longer carry one but life is good and i know there are always a lot of chances for me to be happy and God will mke the path straight for me and the right person when we are both ready.

I sounds like you two have a very good basis for a good and lasting relationship. I think that sometimes people just know. And basing your relationship on such a strong friendship is so important. The rest just sort of melts into the mesh of the whole thing. Glad you are happy and looking forward to many more years togeter.

I think sometimes, like in your case, you just know. And you're lucky because you not only love each other but you -like- each other. That's very important. So far you've made it through thick and thin and you've done well. Do you know a song called "Still the One"? It's very old, from 1976, by a group called Orleans. It reminds me of you two. It's a very good song. I hope sometime you get to hear it if you never have. Back to the question -- I don't know how you can actually tell but my parents were like that. My mother went to see my Grandmother (my father's mom) about something. My father was in another room in front of a mirror. He saw my mom in the mirror talking to his mom and after she left he told his mom "That's the girl I'm going to marry". And he did. They were 18 & 20 at the time, back in the mid 1930's. So, I'm sure sometimes you just know. My Dad did. And I wish you both many, many more happy years together!

I think that you answered your own question. I believe you just know. With all big decisions, which house to buy, what man to marry - the answer comes to you. Now getting in serious, pick very, very carefully. If you can see yourself past the "in love" stage and still like your mate (besides care for) that's probably a good pick. Love can't take care of everything, two people with a healthy relationship can. Unless you two are very young if you've been together 14 years and you look forward to more it sounds like a good match.

Yes, I also believe that compatibility really is a big factor for knowing if someone is right for you. But more than that, I believe that you will if this one is right for you if you can fight for this person, if you know you will choose this person no matter what, that you can give your life to this person, and be beside him/her for the rest of your lives. If you can commit to this person whatever the odds may be, then I think you found the person right for you. But of course, this should be mutual. Or else, it will never work at all.

Wow - 14 years is a long time! I don't know if I could take a relationship where we verbally got into fights. But I guess that means, in a way, that you both care enough to fight. I have never met "the one" or even a guy who I THOUGHT was the one; just several mediocre ones that I knew weren't going to stick around. Ha ha. It is somewhat depressing. It's hard to know who is "the one", though, wouldn't you say? How subjective of a term...

that is toughest question i have encountered today.. well, i guess it really depends.. but one factor could be that you know how to give and take and to forgive..

It's really hard to tell if someone's the right one for you. As there are a lot of things that will come along the way. But if both of you continues to hold on and support each other, then you might say maybe that he is really the one for you. You've been together for a long year, wish you both happiness.

When my husband started dating back then, I knew he is the one for me because we both bring out the best in each other. We are happier, and I like the person that I am when we became an item. It's like he complements my completeness.

You must be happy, love at first sight, I should say. It's not easy to find a perfect man in your heart. Since you have found it, just treasure it. I'm sure you can be toghter many years. And I hope you can be happy forever, a whole life.
