We asked you, and you told us! We posed the question on the iVillage boards: When did you know it was love? Was it something he said or did? Did it hit you like a bolt from the sky — or a pie in the face? The responses we got ranged from hilarious to heart melting. Some of our favorites:
- He showed up at my doorstep, threw up all over, and I didn't even flinch.
- It wasn't anything he said or did. It was just that, over time, I came to realize that I'd much rather be with him than without him.
- He put his arm around me and said he'd protect me from all the nasty things in the world.
- We finally met in person after meeting online! That first kiss said it all.
- He sold his '65 Mustang so we could afford to get an apartment together.
- I was traveling overseas, and even though I should have been having the best time of my life, I couldn't wait to get home to be back with him.
- On Valentine's Day he came to my work to bring me a dozen roses.
- We were at a concert when he got this amazingly happy look on his face because he was so pleased to hear a certain song. There was just something about that look — how open and vulnerable it was, and how excited over something small.
- All he had to do was touch me. It was the exact moment when he first touched my leg.
- I suddenly found myself making plans for the future that included him.
